Along with everyone else, I love Jack.  What do you think was his greatest performance.  I know I'm missing some here...so just check other.

It's definitely a toss-up between The Shining and One Flew....I voted One Flew.

though i wasn't too big on the movie itself, the pledge must be my favorite. i mean nooene could smoke ciggies like him in that part, too few actors smoke in movies.

He was fucking great in that movie.  i don't think it was that bad of a film...dragged in some parts, but good nonetheless.

ur reviews are always so insightful.

officially i'd say the pledge too, he really smokes like no other.. well deniro is a good smoker too especially in casino. i'm all about the shining these days tho so it's gotta be that, he's a good drunk too. perfect teeth for that role.

Although these days he seems to be more of a caricature of himself, and i haven't been impressed with him in ages(including About Schmidt), i can't deny his remarkable performance in Chinatown(or One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest for that matter), that still are the best of him in my mind to this day.

Would you believe me if I said I didn't see the Nicholson part of your title and thought you were talking about Jack Motherfucking?

I leave the insightful reviews to Jay Sherman.

I love this guy. He sure knows how to stick around through the decades. I'm curious what you guys think of him as an actor. I've heard Sean Penn criticize Nic Cage for being more of a performer now and not an actor. Yet, Sean Penn and Jack are good friends -- does he think Jack is an actor and not a performer? Jack gets a lot of flack for just being.. Jack.

Gold Trumpet, get over here and criticize this man.

But like Nic Cage, when Jack acts, he ACTS. Case in point being his work with Penn (haven't seen the Crossing Guard, but The Pledge was phenomenal).

I'm a big fan of Nicholson, too. He's the best example of a man who married a successful career in Hollywood with being a great actor as well. Brando's career was too chaotic to say it was successful given the immense promise he had. For the last two months, I've been trying to immerse myself in all of Nicholson's films to discover that his performance in Hoffa may be my favorite role of his. A rare performance where Nicholson transforms himself without having to rely on any drastic physical change that anyone can get. Don't know what else I could say considering it'd be all praise.
