Clint for me and it's not even close. He has about a dozen more films I could list where as Nicholson doesn't.

Jack has some really big time hits but Eastwood has way more hits imo

 

[Five Fingered Fresh Fist]

Voted for Jack on that top 3.

 

[drblackula]

Eastwood for sure, I like his directness with the movies. I don't dislike Nicholson but it's more his characters don't appeal in the same way.


Also Eastwood takes him in the ring with any ruleset any age. Somebody try and tell me I'm wrong.

 

[Shaun K]

Never watched Chinatown. Dont think im qualified to reply in this thread

 

[ufcfan4]

I’d go Jack. But they both have awesome filmographies.

 

[Kryptt]

Nicholson

But both catalogues have so much I love.

Jack for me The Shining

Clint for me The Outlaw Josey Whales

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

I'd choose Nicholson because he's more versatile.

 

[Nik123]

Nicholson is the better actor by far. Clint has the more memorable leading roles.

 

[Fake Doctor]

I'd take Eastwood in a heartbeat. I'd take his total lineup ahead of anyone other single figure in Hollywood's, I think.

 

[Woldog]

Clint would beat TF outta Jack. But Jack is the better actor.

 

[AGGAMEMNON66]

Eastwood

 

[StonedLemur]

I went with Eastwood, but this is basically a tie in my eyes.

 

[Panty Raider]

Jack all fucking day and twice on sundays

 

[Nightgunner05]

Clint probably has a bigger catalog of decent movies, but Jacks best movies shit all over Eastwood's best. Plus Jack is just a better actor.

 

[Otto!]

I give the edge to Eastwood because I grew up watching his flicks. Big fan of all his westerns.

 

[BisexualMMA]

Looks like you're combining Clint's acting and directing.

Anyway, it's hard for any actor to go top five for five with Jack - Cuckoo's Nest, Terms of Endearment, Shining, Chinatown and one of several options for #5 will take out almost every opponent.

 

[Spounman]

Clint Eastwood all day

 

[Fedorgasm]

Jack is a better actor but the question was who had the better filmography, and I think that's Eastwood.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I think Eastwood has the better filmography while Jack is the more diverse and better overall actor.

 

[TrueBias]

Jack, almost only because of Shining.
