Best / Favorite Jack Nicholson Movie

[The Chairman]

This is something I've been forgetting to do for quite some time, so now that I remember, here it goes.

Out of all Jack Nicholson's moves, which is one is your favorite & why? Personally, after watching it again last night to make sure I'd give it my vote, it has to Cuckoo's Nest. One of the best movies ever made, and Jack's best performance.

The poll includes 19 of his most popular movies, including all 12 of his Oscar nominated performances. Out of all them, which is you favorite and why?

 

[Bat Attack]

Best: Chinatown
Favorite: The Shining

 

[The Chairman]

Favorite: The Shining

I had a feeling you'd vote for that one, considerign you're a horror fan.

I hate to admit it, but I haven't seen Chinatown.

Nice avvy, BTW.

 

[Bat Attack]

Why thank you.

 

[The Chairman]

Why thank you.

You're welcome.

[Speedball]

My favorite is the President in Mars Attacks!
Can't we all just get along?

 

[BT18]

Easy Rider by far

 

[JLBats]

I am so in love with Chinatown. Beautiful movie.

 

[Bat Attack]

I am so in love with Chinatown. Beautiful movie.

Easy Rider by far

I haven't seen Easy Rider, but for me "by far" seems a bit of an overstatement.

 

[BatMatt]

Cuckoo's Nest for me, although many of his performances are spectacular

 

[MaskedManJRK]

Best: Chinatown
Favorite: The Shining

I wouldn't put either as "best" or "favorite," but those are my two favorites.

 

[Silver Sable]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Batman
The Shining
A Few Good Men

I love Mars Attacks! Always good for a cheap laugh!

 

[blind_fury]

Cuckoo's Nest

 

[BatMatt]

I too like Mars Attacks. Chinatown is good, not great, but very good for sure

 

[The Chairman]

I love Mars Attacks! Always good for a cheap laugh!

Yeah, I don't understand the hate it gets. That and Anger Management (which I didn't include because a lot of people hate it) seem to be the most maligned of his films. I absolutley loved them. Then again, I'd watch the man in anything.

The poll's pretty much going as expected. It's a shame no one's voted for Carnal Knowledge (I was going to give it a pity vote since no one else here has probably seen it). Most underrated movie ever. I knew it'd be between OFOTCN, Chinatown and The Shining, with Batman scoring a few votes as well.

 

[Stringer]

Cuckoo's Nest
The Shining
Few Good Men
Chinatown

 

[Ben Urich]

I can't decide between Batman and Cuckoo's Nest.

 

[Eddie Dean]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

 

[DOG LIPS]

Cuckoo's Nest and The Witches Of Eastwick are tops for me. I watched the hell out of those back in the day.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, which also happens to be the best movie ever made.

 

[Red]

Favorite: The Shining

Best: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
