What character comes to mind when you think of Jack Nicholson?

His IMDB page:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000197/

I... I don't think I've seen a single movie with Jack Nicholson... I've seen clips of a couple but I've not actually watched one movie on that list. I probably should see some of them like the Shining or the Departed at some point. Also Jack Nicholson is 80 and hasn't been in a movie for 7 years. He's older than I thought.

As far as a character I guess I'd have to go with Jack from the Shining (Wait if his name is Jack why does he say "Here's Johnny"?).

Also IMDB trivia is dumb: "Is the only actor to ever play the Devil, the Joker, and a werewolf."


Any nominations going forward would be cool. I have a big list of 'em now but if you suggest someone on there they can move up the rankings and come sooner. Also, if you have any input on how to improve the topic, let me know.

Previous days (If you wanna participate):
Day 8: Evan Peters
Day 9: Will Smith
Day 10: Robin Williams
Day 11: Adam Sandler
Day 12: Scarlett Johansson
Day 13: Chloë Grace Moretz
Day 14: Patrick Stewart
Day 15:Leonardo DiCaprio
Day 16: Jim Carrey
>Day 17: Jack Nicholson




Should I try to fit directors into these topics too? Like maybe every 10 (starting at 20 I guess) do a 'What movie do you think of?'. There are plenty of directors (like Scorsese, Burton, Spielberg) that have a good number of notable films behind them. I dunno, just a thought.

The Joker.

I've seen hardly any of the movies he's been in. I mean, I haven't even seen The Shining...

No way. He was basically playing a loonier version of himself. It's weird because we know he can played deranged really really well from the Shining, but he just didn't have it in Batman.

Randal Patrick McMurphy

And it's difficult to think of one movie where he doesn't play a character that isn't crazy in the slightest.

Kind of a hard one. I guess Jessep from a Few Good Men but *only* because Al Pacino's Scent of a Woman pops up in my mind at the same time. Otherwise, I associate Nicholson with his gruffer, slightly unhinged roles such as the Joker, the author from As Good as It Gets, and to a lesser extent McMurphy from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Ironically, one of my all-time favorite Jack Nicholson moments is from As Good as It Gets which is one of my least-favorite Nicholson movies (since it does a terrible job of portraying OCD and does so in a comical manner, which I also never liked about Monk)

This topic series would be better if you listed the winner for each one.

Sometimes it's hard to list a winner though. If there's not enough posts or if the votes are spread throughout the roles fairly evenly. It works out sometimes with one or two roles taking the clear victory but some of these have been less conclusive. And it's not necessarily a game with a winner but more for discussion purposes.

But this is the second or so time this has been brought up so I am thinking about it.
