Not necessarily the best 3 Nicholson movies, but what parts were his best?


1. The Last Detail
2. One Flew Over The Cukoos Nest
3. Goin South

1. Randle McMurphy in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest

2. Bobby Dupea in Five Easy Pieces

3. George Hanson in Easy Rider

All three characters are very different and refute the notion that Jack is just good at playing Jack.

Melvin Udall
Jack Torrence
Randle P. McMurphy

Col. Nathan R. Jessup is certainly in the conversation as well.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Shining (how can this be left off anyone's list?)
About Schmidt

Easy Rider and Chinatown are very hard to omit. Nicholson is too great for 3.

And I guess he's good in it, but I can't stand Five Easy Pieces. Boring nonsense.

I like that you included About Schmit. It definitely showed his versatility.
