Movies Favourite Jack Nicholson Movie

[ufcfan4]

He's had so many classics. But it's Chinatown for me. It's like one of the all-time great film noirs fifteen years after the genre basically ended. Excellent cast, too with Nicholson and Dunaway doing some of their best work. The legendary director John Huston gives a highly unsettling, creepy performance. Even some of the small supporting roles are really effective- Burt Young and Diane Ladd at the beginning for instance.

Also have to point out that among the 1974 best picture academy award contenders are three of my favorite films of the decade. Godfather Part 2, Chinatown, and The Conversation. Classics.

Few Good Men

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Batman truly is a Jack Nicholson film.
He was the center of attention in every scene he was in.
They needed three awesome villains in the sequel to equal his presence in the original.

One of the rare examples where the villain got top billing

 

[Sobek]

The Shining.

 

[ChickenBrother]

Few Good Men

COL Nathan R. Jessup is up there with Ermey’s Gunny Hartman for most iconic military portrayal ever.

But Nicholson is a great actor all around and the distribution of the votes shows it.

About Schmidt is right up there with A Few Good Men and The Shining for me…great movie and performance by Jack

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

A Few Good Men amazing film.

As Good As It Gets

My mom took me and my brother to my Uncle's house one day in 1998. They had rented it from Blockbuster, and they watched with us and my Grandma. I loved it then, having just turned 12, and I love it now. Every other movie in that list is awesome, but As Good As It Gets is my favorite.

 

[Natural Order]

Cuckoo’s nest by a landslide.

 

[Intermission]

Gotta be Chinatown

Now I get why they said casting him as the Joker was the most obvious casting ever made

 

[Streeter]

Likely unpopular here but always thought he was extremely over rated as an actor. Liked his joker and OFOCN but never really saw him as a legend most do

 

[Mock Artwork]

The Shining is overrated and his performance is borderline cheesy (fight me). Was very good as a menacing gangster in Departed.

Probably Cuckoo's Nest. But my favorite performance of his may have been in Ironweed. His character was a drunk and a loser, but Nicholson still made him sympathetic.
