If he&#x27;s half as healthy as he seems, I can&#x27;t imagine we&#x27;ve seen the last of him. &#xD;&#xA;He was hitting on Jennifer Lawrence at one of the awards shows. She seemed receptive. Dude still has it.

Villemure30 · Answer

Those are my top 3Although I think I would rank " A Few Good Men " over " As Good As It Gets "

Jack Nicholson as Signalman 1st Class "Badass" Buddusky in The Last Detail (1973). he and Randy Quaid in his first movie as Seaman Meadows should have BOTH won Oscars for their rolls &#xD;&#xA;the bar scene &#x2B; "I Want To Drink A Toast To Batman, Superman and The Human Torch" &gt;&gt;&gt; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1pdy4MFlq4

I bet you would have said him in Batman had he played  Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot rather than Jack Napier.

nothing after 1989--he became a caricature of himself after his &#x27;joker&#x27; persona

nyt, nyt, nyt...INDIANS.

BWS77 · Answer

I went with on-screen time for the ranking.  He really only had the 2 long scenes in A Few Good Men.

THEMUGG · Answer

these plus "The Last Detail".................&amp; even though it&#x27;s not my fav part, his work in "The Shining" was stellar

LeRinkRat · Answer

&#xD;&#xA;Randle McMurphy in The One Who Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest will probably always be the consensus Jack Nicholson #1 roll in his career BUT I think that Navy Signalman 1st Class Billy "Badass" Buddusky in The Last Detail is a close 2nd

Pecador · Answer

I&#x27;m not drinking the Kool Aid on this retiring business.  If it&#x27;s true that&#x27;s sad but actors love any press and if I were a betting man I would say this man will come off the death bed and play again. He may be frustrated now and depressed but acting and the glory is all he knows. I say he is back unless this retiring business is a excuse for a some severe illness and he can&#x27;t physically do it.Gl,   Doc
