Rather than hyjacking the Florida recruiting topic further, I decided to move the Nicholson conversation over here. What is your favorite Nicholson movie?
That one tops my list as well. However, to offer up another selection: I'll offer up four clues... I wouldn't be surprised if you don't get it with clue one. Clue 2 should spark a memory. Nicholson may not be your choice of actors if you're clueless after #3. If you don't know it by #4, don't bother attempting an answer. 8)
Cuckoo's Nest... Chinatown... Easy Rider he was the third wheel.....bludgeoned to death by the bayou rednecks.... ....."hold it between your knees".... Five Easy Pieces
BATMAN!! TOO EASY. Have you had a chance to see the Dark Knight? Heath Ledgers portrayal of the Joker was AWESOME...
You have got to watch the Dark Knight. It's not a Hokey version of Batman that Nicholson's and keaton's was. It's a real darkside version (as DC comics originally created) with an absolutely amazing rendition of the Joker by Ledger. You won't regret it.
I like most everything he ever did. He always gives a superb performance. Three examples of one's I really liked..... Mars Attacks! Played a dual role but his bit as the President was the best in a movie that was filled with dozens of top stars and was a silly comedic ensemble. As Good As It Gets He was Marvin Udall, a complete nutcase who has virtually every psychosis and is completely anti-social. How he plays that role and develops that character into a functioning human being was unforgettable. The Departed As evil as you can get, he was a complete psychopath as Frank Costello, a Boston mobster. Yet he played him as an extremely learned and well read type character as well. When you steal the show in that cast you know you are a great actor. He went to high school about three miles from where I sit ... Manasquan HS here at the Jersey shore. he has been back for a couple of class reunions... he gets there early and stays til the end. Then he takes everybody out to party.
