Jack Nicholson's Finest Acting Performances In Recent Memory

Jack Nicholson is without a doubt of the greatest actors of his generation, if not ever. There are so many movies that the man has starred in which have achieved iconic status, either from audiences, critics, the Academy or all of the above. When discussing the best Nicholson films, it is important to cite several films which help to showcase Jack's versatility.
The following movies are my favorite films starring the great Jack Nicholson.
The first movie I will mention is his most recently awesome movie, which was The Departed. It is hard to believe that director Martin Scorsese had never won an Academy Award for Best Director prior to this film.
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest is simply put, one of the greatest pieces of American cinema ever created. Jack plays a mental patient that leads a coup against an evil nurse at an insane asylum and the scenes are memorable, to say the least.
Steven King's The Shining showed audiences just how terrifying a role Mr Nicholson is capable of playing. This movie further showcased his versatility, playing a completely different role than anything he had attempted before.
It would be a shame to make a list of Jack Nicholson films without giving mention to the original Batman film. The Joker was one of the most iconic characters and Jack set a high standard for comic book villains for years to come.
Jack Nicholson's second Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role came for his portrayal of Melvin Udall in As Good As It Gets. This is as good as acting gets.
Hopefully there are one or more films on this list of Jack Nicholson films which you have yet to see.
