One of the greatest actors to grace the silver screen is the irreplaceable Jack Nicholson who turns 77 today. With a career spanning over 50 years, Nicholson is arguably the most recognisable cinematic presence and certainly one of the most quoted. Here are eleven of his greatest moments, both on and off the screen…
1. Batman
I like him already…
2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Want some gum?
3. Chinatown
“Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown…”
4. THAT incident with Jennifer Lawrence
“I’ll be waiting…”
5. The Shining
You were expecting the “Here’s Johnny” scene weren’t you, but no… This is a lot better.
6. A Few Good Men
Hands up who uses this quote on a daily basis! (Note, if you’re a lawyer, multiple uses are acceptable)
7. Mars Attacks!
“Why can’t we work things out?”
8. Easy Rider
Possibly one of his most important films, Easy Rider is firmly within the category of cult classic…
9. The Departed
“I got this rat…”
10. About Schmidt
Perhaps one of the slowest films we have ever witnessed, but one of the most heartbreaking…
11. This Golden Globes Speech
That comment about Dermot Mulrooney’s hair… Priceless.
12. As Good As It Gets
You make me want to be a better man… And the entire world swoons…
