Mine would go:
1. Col. Nathan R. Jesup (A Few Good Men)
2. Melvin Udall (As Good as It Gets)
3. Joker (Batman)
4. Jack Torrence (The Shining)
5. Randle McMurphy (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
Also, feel free to make this a Jack Nicholson gif thread. That's honestly my goal here anyway.

Dang...top 5 Nicholson is tough. He has the best top 10 of any actor ever.
1. Shining
2. Cuckoo's Nest
3. Five Easy Pieces
4. A Few Good Men
5. As Good as It Gets
Tempted to put Chinatown...because that is my favorite movie of all time but left it off. Left off Joker because I think maybe Ledger's performance knocks it down a tiny bit.

Chinatown
A Few Good Men
Cuckoo's Nest
Shining
Hoffa
Narrowing it down to just 5 was hard. I picked Hoffa but could easily have another 3 or 4 there.

What is there to rank? He always plays a version of himself either manic or non-manic.

Eh. That's definitely debatable.

JJ Gittes is #1 for me. But just going through his filmography, there aren't nearly as many movies of his that I really like than I thought there was.

I’d have to debate on whether or not he makes the top 10 of top 10’s
