From Chinatown and A Few Good Men to Easy Rider and The Shining, we ranked the seven best movies starring Jack Nicholson.
For about 35 years, Jack Nicholson had a strong claim for being the best actor in Hollywood. After his breakthrough in 1969’s Easy Rider, it was clear that Nicholson would become a star. With a contagious smile, signature laugh, and irresistible charm, Nicholson had the looks and the talent that made him a Hollywood leading man. Yet, Nicholson also loved to steal the show as a supporting actor, as you’ll see in the rankings below.
Related 7. Batman Out of all the entries on the list, I’d bet a lot of money that The Batman is the one that leads to the most angry comments in my inbox. What’s not up for debate is Nicholson’s profound impact on the superhero genre, something I’d imagine he never considered when he took the role. In Tim Burton’s Batman, Nicholson plays Jack Napier, a mobster who transforms into the Joker after falling into a vat of chemicals.
Mixed in with the sadness are moments of hilarity and laughter thanks to Jack Nicholson’s Garrett Breedlove, the retired astronaut who lives next door to Aurora. Thanks to his abilirty to be sleazily charming, Garrett’s presence provides a lovely rom-com detour from the heaviness of the family drama. Nicholson’s memorable performance resulted in his second Oscar victory, his first for Supporting Actor.4.
