#10 “CANDY STRIPE NURSES” (1974), FEATURING SANDY |
![]() Alan Holleb, a writer and director who focuses on three naughty nurse characters, knows exactly how to play into the sickly fantasies of men. In “Candy Stripe Nurses”, a titillating comedy about three volunteer nurses from the mid-70s, Holleb introduces the audience to three curvaceous beauties who have a sinister agenda as they go about their work at the hospital. Candy striper Sandy (Candice RIALSONN) accepts the role of a health facility in order to keep her close to her hotshot doctor boyfriend. Sandy, a sex addict who is sex-deprived, still manages to make the male patients that she treats shiver with her sex. Hmmm . . . Sandy, the sexpot, gives a new meaning to “layaway plans”. Perhaps her sexual services can help her pampered clients accept their massive medical bills. |
#9 HIGH ANXIETY (1977) FEATURING A CHARLOTTE DIEL |
![]() In “High Anxiety,” Brooks homage to Alfred Hitchcock, one can see Mel Brooks’ active wacky brain at work with the evil psychiatric Nurse Charlotte Diesel. Nurse Diesel is a very treacherous character. She plots the death of Richard H. Thorndyke, played by Brooks. Leachman’s Nurse Diesel, a tragic comic character, contributed greatly to Brooks’s twisting tribute to Hitchcocks psychological thriller hedonism. |
#8 “KILL BILL VOL. “1” (2003) FEATURING DRIVER (SEEN AS A NURSE). |
![]() It’s true that technically, “Kill Bill Vol. 1” headstrong heroine Beatrix Kiddo a.k.a. Elle Driver, a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (Daryl Hannah), was not a nurse. She assumed this false identity to be near and eliminate her feisty nemesis as Beatrix recovered in the hospital. Elle Driver was a sexy specimen, but was also ruthless and bloodthirsty. She would follow any orders given to her by her current lover, Bill (David Carradine), who was Beatrix’s former lover, and father of her daughter. Driver is driven by Beatrix’s jealousy over her past intimacy with Bill. She wants to eliminate the talented martial arts maiden. Unfortunately, donning a nurse’s uniform wasn’t enough to stop Beatrix. |
#7 M*A*S*H (1970) STARRING MAJOR MARGARET HOULIHAN |
![]() Sally Kellerman was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Supporting Actress in Robert Altman’s irreverent comedy “M*A*S*H” playing Major Margaret “Hot Lips” Houlihan, the overly-strung US Army Head Nurse. She found herself at odds, especially with the 4077 unit’s two top surgeons Benjamin “Hawkeye” Pierce and Trapper John MacIntyre, played by Donald Sutherland (left) and Elliott Goul Major Houlihan, who played a diva-like character in the film, teamed up to marry Major Frank Burns. Burns was gung-ho and medically inept. They had an affair in the camp. “Hot Lips”, a complex creature that was both vile, yet vulnerable, was the poster girl of self-righteousness, in a warzone where the only way to escape the stress and chaos was by engaging in some offbeat crazy. Kellerman’s “Hot Lips”, Houlihan, was as psychologically broken as her colleagues or the many wounded who spilled their blood on the operating table. |
#6 MISERY (1990) FEATURING Anni Wikkes |
![]() Kathy Bates’ win for Best Actress is no surprise. She played the overbearing, psychotic, and delusional former nurse Annie Wilkes, who was a disturbingly passionate admirer of Paul Sheldon, the injured novelist, and his fictional literary heroine Misery Chastain. She will do anything to influence her recovering guest to think positively about the printed page heroine she loves. Sheldon’s moods are constantly changing, and he is completely at the mercy this large caretaker. Annie can be playful and childlike one minute (“Paul, I’ve been a dirty birdy”) and then argumentative and menacing the next. Bates’s brilliant portrayal of the rural nutjob who declares her love for her author, who is weakened and his protagonist in “Misery”, as “Number 1”, is unsettling and masterful. Annie Wilkes, the silently sadistic Nurse Ratched in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” is clearly the most silently cruel nurse. |
#5 “NURSE” (2013) FEATURING ABY RUSSELL |
![]() Maybe Douglas Aarniokoski, the writer and director of ” nurse 3D“, is the first tawdry female nurse thriller with an unexpected twist? You already know. . . The video features a hospital hussy who falsely caters to unwitting cheating men with siren-inspired sexuality, then… whammo! . . What if you had to get rid of these filthy cretins in return for their philanderings? This is what Nurse Abby Russell, played by Paz de la Huerta, did during her work hours. She was devoted to treating her patients. When she’s away from her job, Abby lives a very different nightlife. Abby’s terrorizing tendencies are to use her alluring physique to ambush unfaithful men blinded by the provocative charms of her body — her way to teach them a crucial (and deadly lesson) in sexual deception. It will take a young, naive nurse (Katrina Bowden), to stop Abby from destroying the world and changing its course. She will save many other people from Abby’s perverse, sexual justice. |
#4 “THE NURSE”, 1997 FEATURING LAURA HARIMAN |
![]() Payback for Nurse Laura Harriman’s (Lisa Zane), will be sweet, but it won’t be as sweet for those who are the victims. Robert Malenfant’s film “The Nurse” features a desperate nurse who is out to get revenge because she believes that a catatonic man was the only reason her father committed suicide. Laura then goes to work, scheming to become a private nurse and infiltrate the family of the stroke-stricken businessman. She also plots to kill his family one by one as revenge for his legal humiliation that led to his suicide. Laura’s uncontrollable desire to get revenge is evident in the random killings she commits. The Nurse’s premise is not new, as it shows another beautiful vixen who is unhinged. She takes toxic substances into her own hands. But one cannot deny that Laura Harriman fits perfectly in this category of evil nurses. |
# 3 “NURSE BETTY” (2000) WITH BETTY SIZEMORE |
![]() Betty Sizemore, played by Oscar winner Renee Zellweger, is a traumatized waitress. Betty Sizemore (Oscar winner Renee Zellweger) is traumatized after witnessing the murder of her husband. She now believes that leaving Kansas City to become a nurse was a good decision, all to get the chance to see her TV soap opera doctor Dr. David Ravell. Betty is convinced by her mental shock that she can and will be Dr. Ravell’s only love. Betty Sizemore doesn’t realize that Dr. Ravell, the daytime drama in which he stars and his character are all fiction. However, this does not stop Betty from donning her nursing uniform and travelling to L.A. so she can rub shoulders with her fictional cardiologist. Betty Sizemore’s post-traumatic obsession for a handsome TV doctor is only the beginning of her troubles. Her late husband’s killers (Morgan Freeman, and Chris Rock), are now on her trail in order to retrieve the illegal items her spouse kept in her car. |
#2 “ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO’S NEST” (1975) FEATURING NURSE RATCHED |
![]() Louise Fletcher, who played the manipulative and icy Nurse Ratched in Milos Forman’s gripping mental institution drama, earned a Best Actress Oscar for her iconic performance. She is perhaps the most famous nurse in film history. Nurse Ratched, a cold-hearted and insensitive shrew who commanded the obedience of her delusional and frightened patients, was an unfeeling and no-nonsense shrew. Randle Patrick McMurphy, played by Jack Nicholson (in one of his Oscar winning performances), was the only constant obstacle for the humorless Nurse Ratched. His unconventional and off the cuff craziness encouraged his fellow patients to loosen their grip on the restraints of Ratched. Nurse Ratched, however, would have the last word by putting an end to both McMurphy’s rivalry (via a forced lobotomy) and McMurphy’s protege Billy Bibbit. Brad Dourif (Oscar nominated Brad Dourif), whose suicide was the result of Ratched dirty-minded psychological techniques. Fletcher, who won the Oscar for her role as a negligent nursing in “Misery”, was the first nurse to be ensnared in a quiet, strategic torture of the soul and mind. |
#1 “SILENTHILL” (2006) FEATURING CORPSSE NURSES |
![]() The faceless, zombie nurses in Christophe Gans’ horror/mystery film “Silent Hill” are terrifying. They parade about in grimy uniforms, wandering aimlessly through the fog-covered landscape of Silent Hill, where Radha Mitchell’s Rose Da Silva is desperately searching for her daughter. Hope Rose’s child doesn’t receive any medical attention from the caustic corpse-like nurses at the Silent Hill Medical Facility. Imagine getting an IV from these ghoulish girls with severe scars on their noggins. YIKES! |
