shining and one flew over cukoos just acting brilliance

Brando comes close in godfather


He's better than de niro al pacino and I love them

Showed greatness in the departed too even past prime
 
He's certainly a legitimate candidate for the title.
 
I love Jack Nicholson but has he ever really tested his range? What's the most non-Nicholson role that he's ever done?

I mean, comparing him to Gary Oldman or Daniel Day Lewis, who can play anyone...
 
Dude's a hell of a golfer....
 
Great, but not the GOAT. Who is? Fuck I don't know. Its soooo subjective. For range, Id put Brando, Lewis, Olivier. Pacino, or Alec Guiness ahead of him. All open to interpretation though.

As good as it gets

Great performance but it was still largely Jack. It was just Jack with OCD.

I'm talking about being a completely different person. Speaking with an accent, being weak, being stupid, etc.

Jack is always the cool gruff guy that eventually gets pissed and yells, or breaks the rules...

I mean, didn't he play the Irish mob boss in Boston? I don't even recall him having a boston accent in that movie. If anyone had an accent it should've been him.

Get what your saying

The bucket list was different
 
He is not better than Pacino or DeNiro. He's great though.
 
Most charismatic maybe, but a better actor than DeNiro? Nope. Not in this lifetime. Nicholson's done some brilliant films. Missouri Breaks is one of my favorite westerns. The Shining is easily in the top 5 of all time best horrors. DeNiro has sucked balls for the last 18 years but from 1970 til then he was unbeatable. King Of Comedy, Mean Streets, The Deer Hunter. The list goes on and on.

De Niro Pacino Jack been in classics

all Subjective i think Jacks Best performance is better than de niro Imo Its godfather for him

What is de niro best performance in your opinion

also heat he was great
 
Pacino plays the same fucking role in every movie. Nicholson is more diverse than him.
 
If you're going to make a thread about him being a GOAT, at least spell his name correctly.
