It's Jack, baby. Y'dig? Remember: I'm referring to the film, not Nicholson's performance. Personally, I like "Five Easy Pieces." Peace & take care  |

| "Chinatown" is a landmark film, imo, but it's awfully hard to choose, because I really like "The Shining" a lot too (as well as "Five Easy Pieces", "Carnal Knowledge" "Marvin Gardens" "Cuckoo's Nest" "Postman" and on and on... |

Stop! No more! Isn't it bad enough I have to decide between three pairs of shoes in the morning? But if you put a gun to my head, I'd have to say I've seen the Shining more times than all of the other choices combined. And I LOVE Easy Rider, Chinatown, and Cuckoo's Nest. Jack even made Terms of Endearment worth watching (once). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

One more for The Shining! Its not just Jack that makes it, it's Kubricks brilliant direction. Stephen King didn't like it, though. His own re-make was utter rubbish IMO. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

| Five Easy Pieces. The title of the film refers to piano pieces. Jack's character plays the piano. |

Not a great JN fan but I found About Schmidt deeply moving.Wonderfully understated acting performance that deserved more plaudits. He also did an equally brilliant film 4 years ago that was directed by Sean Penn called ''The Pledge''.Very dark stuff but JN is superb in it. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0237572/ - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0237572/

"The Pledge" was great- good call, rh. It had very little of what one expects from a typical JN role, but he was outstanding...further proof that he's one of the greatest screen actors of our time. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Reed, posting pictures like that will just lead me deeper into temptation. I even thought she was hot as late as Grumpy Old Men!
