I love the movies in which he plays characters named Jack.
Jacks dead,Now you call him joker.
haha yea
@@lukadautovic3500 Says this to another Jack. Irl that is.
The homophobia from a couple of them too!
Yess
Steven King: The Shining is a bad film.
Jack: I don’t think that’s true...
Jack : I am coming Stephen
And i am not Nicholson one ;)
OMG in The Departed he was AWESOME!!!
It's not great but Jack's performance was legendary. Really the only good part about it imo
You WANT me in that role! You NEED me in that role! 😁😁😁😁
True! YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!
One of the most inspiring things about JN is that he wasn’t necessarily an overly attractive, masculine macho man. His raw talent got him over. Thanks for sharing this.
I think about the half of the female population would disagree on the "Jack Nicholson wasn't attractive" thing
@@zalybrainlessgenius503 because he’s a celeb. If he wasn’t they wouldn’t care
@@etiennemadore5899 Have you ever heard his voice? :)
@@zalybrainlessgenius503 he sounds great, but I still believe that people wouldn't care
He was handsome, but it was his charisma that made him attractive
One flew over the Cuckoos Nest is seriously one of the greatest movies ever made. Everybody owes it to themself to see that film
I was glad I saw it before reading the book. The movie and Jack are great. The book is even greater.
agree, my number 1 movie
Very well observed, Dutchman! I'm shocked and saddened that it's gotten only 43 Thumbs Up. I guess it's because the video was posted so long ago. Or possibly because the movie-watching public doesn't have a long attention span, they're too easily distracted - hey! lookit that squirrel outside!
The greatest moment in that movie is Christopher Lloyd's face when the chief breaks out at the end. I love that movie
First movie ever to have my eyes balling out
Jack Nicholson is the actor of actors. He makes the others look insignificant compared (even though most of these actors absolutely are not)
Jack Nicholson created new characters in the world of cinema.. Particularly, his roles in Batman (Joker), in the shining, one flew over cuckoo’s nest, the last detail etc... these roles are a school.. Jack Nicholson is a great school..
I think there's an aura about him... Other actors seem to act better in his company.
That's not really true, the only one who stands out better than him is Tom Hanks
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 no dude i its pesci whos better than hanks
@@RoRo-vr6wx I haven't seen Goodfellas yet but the only thing I know Joe Pesci from is Home Alone. Let's just say that that isn't the reputation of an arthouse actor
Jack Nicholson is one of the best actors of all time. 🃏 🃏 🃏 🃏 🃏
I think he’s the best actor post-Brando, and Brando’s number one imo.
Both are the Best.
THE best
How he manages to shove so much emotion in to just his eyebrows is beyond me
Those eyebrows act better than many.
Better than deniro for sure.
@@EetsBack don't go there lol
@@davidrapp3899 where? He is seriously overrated. Has the same sourpuss look on his face all the time. Compare him to Gene Hackman or Dustin Hoffman.
"You gotta ask me nicely" - puts on the most serious face in all of human history.
The joker character took a huge turn in its persona when it's played by Jack Nicholson.
Yep. Before Jack, the Joker was all laughs and giggles and cackles and schemes... 😏😏😏😏😏😏
truth, Heath Ledger's Joker really seems like a combination of Jack's Joker and Jack Torrance from The Shining.
Yep. He really turned the joker into what most people think Heath did
@@pinkfloydmeddle6692 wrong
@@dennisthemenace855 Heath literally took inspiration from jack
I cracked when he mockingly mimicked the “as soon as possible” line. 😂😂😂
Me too 🤣
That’s one of the best intentionally funny Nicholson moments ever lol. The Shining has some rare funny moments and I think Jack was the perfect actor to somehow be both funny and terrifying
How can you forget Chinatown?
Nothing from Wolf, either. Tragic.
Moviemaster21 I like my nose 💗
should've made it 1 performance per character
Also The Passenger.
Or 5 Easy Pieces, or Witches of Eastwick, The Pledge…
He didn't blink at all in the shining
legend
You can see him blink several times just in this video during the Shining clips.
Who you're thinking of is Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, he is the one who doesn't blink.
He blew me away in Departed insane no Oscar nomination he should of won. The shining and one flew over the cuckoos next he was also amazing. I remember being a lil kid around 7 years old and seeing Batman jack as the joker amazed me and kind of got me into movies
yea
I would have loved to see him and Al Pacino together, maybe in a gansgters or thriller movie, how come no one brought these two together.
Probably it's too damn bodacious to handle the two of them. Probably they ran out of dialogues. Probably the outcome of any such movie is too obvious to be a hit that the directors felt no challenge at all. Probably it's too damn hard to do and too damn easy to make a mark in the history of movies
Jack N only one, so diverse in acting, he can play comedy , horror, thriller, I grew up on his films, a mans man, one guy I would love to have a meal with, jack the lad always for me.
Don't forget musical. He was in the movie Tommy based on the album by The Who. He even sings in it.
One of the best actors of all time...
The shining was the first jack Nicholson film I watched and became a fan!!!😇
Jack Nicholson was a good choice for the part as the character "Jack Nicholson" in the movie "The Departed"
I think it was his last film in which he appeared
He really did just play himself lol
Inaccurate to say he played himself as 99% of high ranking gangsters are sociopaths. He plays a general impression his A “few good men” performance.
It’s The Shining for me❤️I freaking love Jack
He's a masterpiece.
I mean....he's absolutely brilliant isn't he? Definitely one of the best. Top 5.
China Town, Five Easy Pieces, Easy Rider, Terms of Endearment, Prizzi's Honour, etc,.... There are many more performances that deserve to be shared than doubling up on the same films that Jack's been in.
Agree, him meeting the Dennis hopper and Peter Fonda for the first time in east rider and him drinking the whiskey is brilliant acting.
Agree..."The Shining" is to easy, low hanging fruit. He's got many more subtle, nuanced scenes where it's not all bluster and over the top emotion. Breaking up with Aurora (Shirley Mclaine) in "Terms of Endearment" was so realistic
ummmmm, the diner scene in Five Easy Pieces, perhaps?
@@jeffbeaman1 Yeah...That was a good one!..."hold it between your knees...!"
@@jeffbeaman1exactly I didn’t remember what movie it’s from but that’s definitely one his best!

Why do people forget his performance in Reds. Oscar nominated and easily one of his best five performances.
As good as it gets!
His performances on the shinning should be on the top of the rank.
Prolly the best video I ever watched on RUclips
DAMN! Jack's got like perfect teeth.
Thanks for posting!
in my book he is the greatest of all time
In the shining when he speaks to the wife. It’s like he fucking means it like he’s had it bottled up and in that scene he was allowed to say something he has always truly wanted to say. His acting is incredible.
Hers as well. 👌🏼
Jack Napier, jack torrance, jack nicholson. Together as one
I have only one thing to say: Jack Nicholson is the GOAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!
His performance in The Departed is a bit underrated. It did blow my mind
The Art off acting...those eyes!!
Shelley Duvall is so amazing in the Shining.. it's insane how good she is.
how’re you doing? I bring you friendly greetings from Atlanta Georgia
@@dougwillis3052 Oh, thanks... I'm on vacation now. Then I suppose it's back to all work and no play 😅
Ah, sorry: I bring greetings from Gålå, Norway (mountains).
Oh you are welcome, please can we be friends?
Honestly, I think she outacted Jack in some scenes.
I’m pretty sure this is just footage of Jacks everyday life 🤣🤣
His scene at the church from The Witches of Eastwich is my personal favorite. Thanks.
I liked the ironing board scene. "I couldn't hurt you girls. I love you.
Cher; You don't know what love is.
Jack; I could learn. You could teach me. How hard can it be?"
Yep
You missed Easy Rider stoned on weed giving lecture about UFO's
Bruno Alessandro Ardito Agree. A missed opportunity of acting greatness at Jack’s infancy.
He is my favourite actor
Anger Management! Wonderful and so realistic and important to learn from!! And funny!❤❤❤
Stephen King's The shining (1980) with Jack Nicholson and shelley duvall
Nicholson has had a a receding hairline for over 40 years now
ugh i love him so much
5.40 made me ROAR with laughter!
*YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!*
He will remain my favourite actor of all time FOREVER.
It seems like he is always the angry guy in all the movies he has been in. He is my favorite actor!
I chose jack nicholson over 150 actors
Jack makes movies that touch deep the human spirit! ❤❤❤
Been or not, he was so proficient in One Flew Over The Cuckoos' Nest. He was born to act that character. An absolute McMurphy with his hopes and presentation. Yea a Masterpiece..
Amazing actor!
Excellent editing. Thank you.
Disney's popeye (1980) with Robin Williams and shelley duvall
I am so sad, so very sad that we do not have an actor like Jack anymore. But I am grateful that he was in my life.
He has atleast 3 better quotes in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
also in shining
funny how he's best piece of acting from the movie was right after the scene in the video
Such an amazing movie
one of my favourite actors, i wish he had done more work in the last few years :(
Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson
(Tim Burton's Batman 1989)
Jack Nicholson does an amazing job of portraying characters who aren’t quite right in the head. I don’t mean that as an insult to Jack, but it is a testament to how gifted he is at acting. It’s highly unlikely that I will ever get to meet him, but if I ever did, I’d love to shake his hand.
The god!
:-O Is that Kai Winn from DS9? OMG it is so. Louise Fletcher was a stunner back in the day :)
Coocoo first. Damn correct.
seeing him with leonardo dicaprio makes me laugh. Two of my faveorite actors together!!!!!
Health Ledger is considered the best Joker but Jack Nicholson will always be my favorite. In fact he was scarier in Batman than in the Shinning
Chinatown, Wolf and about Schmidt the dear Nadogo part at the end bring tears to my eyes
So the title should be: Top 10 Jack Nicholson Performances in 5 out of the 65 movies he's been in.
I love this man
The Witches of Eastwick 😁👹
5:40😂😂😂my favorite
As soon as possible 🤪
H C 😭😂
Quel acteur, magistral.
I didn’t know that Jack Nicholson played The Joker
Two of my personal favorites
5 easy pieces and the scene where he explain freedom over the campfire in easy rider
Jack Nicholson is without any doubt the best actor EVER!!!! I am really sad that he doesn't do movies anymore. REALLY sad!!!! He is the GOAT!!!
Here's Johny!!
How do you not have the "See this sign" scene from Five Easy Pieces?
I’d marry him in a hot minute. Most beautiful man on the planet x
Any movie he is in, is a watchable movie & will not disappoint. He is a really great actor.
That's was Brill. Wish you'd included Easy Rider. That was what first grabbed my attention about Jack.
1. Day Lewis
2. Brando
3. Nicholson
There will be blood and OFOTCN two best acting performances ever in mainstream media
I think he is ACTUALLY pissed off at his co stars when he acts.. To hard to pick his best performance because they are ALL great!
Happy 87th Birthday 🎂 Jack Nicholson (Joker actor).
I have a tattoo on my leg of jack in the shining..."i love the little bastard"
Jack Nicholson scared the shit outta Tom Cruise
Where are scenes from Reds, Five Easy Pieces, or Chinatown?
İki star var biri ben biri Jack'Nicholson
Gülme moruk, benim gözümde mc chicken'sın.
Def mic'ta motherfucker ses kısılsın.
Çünkü sen ve rap ters aynı erkek ve dönme senin dissin benim için ekmek ve köfte böyle rape biraz destek de görme ne vip'isi moruk geziyon eşekle köyde
Young Jack from the door in The Shining is like Leonardo Di Caprio
Is axl roses
Jack Nicholson is the best actor ever bar none. I will miss him at the movies
jack nicholson plays very good movies
This is a great reel Lloyd, a great reel.
lololololol
You count 2 different scenes from 3 movies each when Nicholson had a 60 year career. The idea that Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, Terms of Endearment, About Schmidt, Easy Rider, The Passenger, Carnal Knowledge, and Reds ALL didn't make the list but A Few Good Men made the list TWICE is hysterical. Try watching more than 7 Nicholson films before you go making a top 10 list of his performances.
Good call Zach; I'd have Antonioni's "The Passenger" in a Top 10 for sure.
"Terms of Endearment" and "Chinatown" as well.
@Zach Marsh. Have to agree Zach. The final scene in About Schmidt is for me, his finest performance in a distinguished career.
Agree Zach!! Easy Rider, the hold the chicken between your knees scene in Five Easy Pieces, Chinatown, multiple great scenes in Terms of Endearment, Carnal Knowledge...he’s too great for just 10, and you definitely can’t repeat movies!
He's an awesome actor 👏 😀 ❤
Jack in the broken bathroom door is missing. That was the best.
Mcmurphy died but he made dozens of other People live
Chris, did you mean to spell "copyright" in your opening disclaimer?
Where’s that scene from
The restaurant with the toast?? That should be high up there 🤔
I agree The Shining is both Jack Nicholson's 5th and 2nd greatest performance
A true legend
He Is The Best Actor Ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“As good as it gets” most brilliant acting!
King of actors
