Once at an award ceremony , a journalist asked him to take his sunglasses off. Jack replied " you must be new here"
lol
HAHAHAH
Well that's Jack Nicholson 😎😎
Persol 69218s, one doesn’t take those off for anybody.
Hilarious...silly journalist
"'With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60."Jack Nicholson
xwhat a twattish thing to think,let alone tell the world.go flush yourself away.
Love it ❤
he has the most badass voice ever
Yup👍
Hes a Chad
Liam Gallagher Manchester !!!!!! ✊🏻
And breath
you can have one too if you call your local Marlboro man
Nicholson is one of the best actors in history...
I believe is the king of hollywood
He's not as good Fred Rogers
Imo the greatest with Marlon Brando
He didnt fly over the cuckoos nest, he shit his pants, thats what he did! Piss off Jackie!
Stephen King thought you sucked in the shining buddy! You didnt follow the character in the novel at all boy! Fuck you Dickolson!
Jack's performance in Cuckoo's Nest is one of the five best I've ever seen.
Agreed. I mean oh my GODDDD!!
I agree. Closely followed by "Chinatown."
5 best of his performances, or of all performances ever?
Clearly number 4 will be Louise Fletcher.
I honestly would put it at number 1
This is gold. He doesn't hold back, he says what he thinks, he isn't giving a studio approved speech . . . Excellent.
Jack "I don't make movies, I make classics" Nicholson, ladies and gentlemen
Hes a real humble asshole
Easy Rider
Five Easy Pieces
Chinatown
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Shinning
Batman
A Few Good Men
As Good as it Gets
About Schmidt
The Departed
I think that sounds about right.
He’s not wrong
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 He's also made some real turkeys. (caugh, hell's angels on wheels, cough).
He's really kind of overrated in my book. A lot of other actors would have been better as R P MacMurphy. He made the roll too much Jack Nicholson and not enough Ken Kesey's character. INHO, of course.
The Last Detail?
This is the most I’ve ever heard him talk outside of a movie.
Me too, actually….!🤔
Of all the actors I ever wanted to meet, Jack Nicholson was top of the list. Still can’t believe I got the chance to talk to him briefly and he was so incredibly humble and courteous.
In where did you talk to him?
@@yavuzkestane9952 It's hard to believe, but in 1996 he'd been playing a round of golf in my hometown in Scotland with Michael Douglas. I walked into a local fast food place (we call it a chippy or a kebab House here) and there he was ordering pizza for himself and MD! It was a brief chat but he was very polite and happy to sign an autograph, which I still have, plus a newspaper clipping from the local newspaper who interviewed me about his visit.
@@awc5uk that’s wonderful! I know he really didn’t want to ever do interviews & really guarded his privacy! I’m glad you got to meet him & that he was kind & gave you his autograph! Great memories! Thanks for sharing them! 🙏🏼
I saw this film at cinema as a very young man in the 70's, it gripped me in a way I couldn't quite fathom at the time, as I got older I went back to the film time and time again I understood more what I felt the first time I saw it, now as a 53 year old stuck in hospital for months it makes more sense than ever to me, OFOTCN is a lot more than a film, it is life.
Happy holidays to you I hope you're healed up best wishes from Buckeye AZ 🌵🤠🐎🇺🇸🎅🏻🦃
@@DouglasRichardson-er4ky all good sir, may all your wishes come true and dreams realised, cheers from a freezing Scotland.🥃🥃🥃🥃

Mr. Nicholson talking about one of the best films EVER made. EVER.
One of the last of the old skool actors. Magnetic personality, a hellraiser but a character, a lovable rogue.
Just great!
Did you see the speech he gave at the Academy Awards where he said, "I know I need to be reigned in sometimes, but I'm easy t reign in..." It was just so cool......John McEnroe says in his book that he met Jack at a party when he was at the height of his Brat stage on court. He said Jack gave him a big handshake and smile, pulled him close and said into his ear, "Don't ever change, Johnny Mac!" How cool is that?
Nah, there's several still around. Betty White, Cloris leachman, louise Fletcher is still around
@@joemarshall4226 Back when people could be interesting love them or hate them. Now personalities are rubbed out.
@@orangejuicejones6075 they’re rubbed out by the ‘Outrage Mob offended by everything
@@Cabbage_math To be more specific, they're being 'rubbed out' by the reason the "Outrage Mob" exists. That and other unfortunate existential realities of the times.
This man's a living legend. One of the greatest actors on this planet. Big hand for you, Jack!
The entire cast was dead on. Cannot imagine anyone else starring in this classic ❤
Greatest movie ever made, top to bottom. Read the book...even more emotional, told through the Chief's point of view.
@@JeffreyGlover65 the film is one of the great adaptations but that book is, as Colonel Kurtz would say, a diamond bullet through the forehead.
@@RayDickulous80 Colonel Kurtz...great reference!
@@JeffreyGlover65 such a great book/film deserves no less aye?
@@RayDickulous80 couldnt agree with you more my man...your taste in films and books is impeccable.😎
One of the greatest actors ever reminiscing about one of the greatest films ever made 👌🏼
One flew is an absolute masterpiece. Truly brought out all emotions possible.
Absolutely my favorite film for life. Everything about it is TIMELESS.
Thank you for this remarkable insight from Randall McMurphy himself!
Thanks for your love and support, I really do appreciate. 💙💙💙
I could listen to him ramble all day. One of the greats. Legendary actor.
'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' is probably my favorite movie. It's not a movie about people. It's a parable for culture. R.P. McMurphy is a timeless character, as are many of the supporting characters in both the book and on screen.
It's about conformity and nonconformity. Jack is the alpha male in a herd of conformists. It looks like a movie about breaking out of the system, but actually it shows that it's enough if outstanding characters like Jack are trying to break out of the system. So all the rest can quietly adore him for doing so and stay put.
Ever read the poem "The Bronco that would not be broken"? That bronco was RP McMurphy.
While what you said is quite true, Ken Kesey said he wrote the book as a statement about the poor condition of the mental health industry.
Jack Nicholson, one of the greatest, funniest, entertaining actor of our time. When you went to the movies you got your moneys worth. Thank you Jack for a wonderful career you gave us.
Ever notice how Jack made other actors in scenes with him that much better almost to the point that they hardly ever reproduced the brilliance any where else? I can think of so many that just never were as good ever again. Shirley McLaine and Faye Dunaway right off the bat.
Jack, I will listen to you ramble anytime, anyday. Cuckoo's nest is one of 3 films that I can quote in its entirety. It is an absolute timeless classic!❤
I'm the same way with knowing the lines!
I love actors like Jack Nicholson. We just love to hear them talk even if they are rambling.
100% 9mins felt like 2 mins.
Not so much.
Ramblin' Jack can say more 15 seconds than most mortals can absorb in a lifetime.
👍 👍 👍 👍
I don't think we are ever going to see a calibre of actors such as Jack Nicholson again in our lifetime. What a heavyweight performer.
i agree nicholson maybe the greatest it will ever be
Leonardo dicaprio
With younger/middle aged actors, the ones that seem to have the most promise are JOAQUIN PHOENIX, Daniel Day-Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jim Carrey, Denzel Washington, Jaime Foxx, Hugh Grant, Will Poulter, Keanu Reeves, Matt Damon, Jason Statham, CILLIAN MURPHY, MADS MIKKELSEN, David Tennant, Jack Black, Henry Cavill, Daniel Radcliffe, Woody Harrelson, Jeremy Renner (he can make a comeback), Christian Bale, Benedict Cumberbatch, Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Cam Gigandet, Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, Jude Law, Ewan McGregor, well, you get the idea. At least with the dudes. Cillian Murphy is just BEYOND AMAZING, btw, and Joaquin Phoenix is a DEEP, DEEP guy…. Mads Mikkelsen is gonna be one of the greats, if he isn’t already. Ewan McGregor is definitely, DEFINITELY a rising star. Will Poulter = OUTSTANDING actor, very “iconic” kind of face…. 👍👍👍👍
I forgot Daniel Craig. 👍
Hes so charismatic, Half way through the video I saw the reflection of my teeth in the black behind Jack. I must have been grinning like a fool through the whole speech haha
Ffff hby gf
Its drugs man
#YAY 🤭✌️😋👍
Man, even today, Jack Nicholson is still a great actor, even if he's retired. If he's reading this comment, I want him to know that he is one of my favorite movie stars.
Has to be one of the best classics ever made...Jack Nicholson, one of the best!
There are many films that truly legendary. But Cuckoo’s Nest is my all time favorite. It’s a miracle of a screenplay, filled with a cast who couldn’t have been more perfect. And of course the perfect director; the brilliant Milos. This film is a gift that keeps on giving some 40 years after I first saw it.
This guy is in a different league as a actor!!! “AS GOOD AS IT GETS “ ...
One of the best movies ever. I thought so when I was 13, and still do.
That movie affected me profoundly, maybe more than any other.
Just want to watch the world series Ms Ratchet
Mental defective league, in formation. (Absolutely priceless is the hand gesture Jack does when he says in formation)
Jack Nicholson is THE greatest actor to exist in my lifetime...and brother that's 61 years! It isn't just his acting but his true character that is one of a kind, that face, his voice and his humor. He's not exactly a good-looking man yet he exudes a masculinity that is undeniable. The women literally adore him...go figure. He's humble amidst the fact he is Legendary. He loves his children, has an incredible heart and eye for true art and it's said his one true love was Anjelica Houston. She too was not a beautiful woman per se yet she had cajones! She was one tough lady and she put ole' Jackie under her thumb and kept him there! Definitely a Bogie and McCall love affair! They are classics and sadly there will never be another generation like them again...God bless you Jackie my man you are one of a kind...always and forever!
You have a excellent perspective of him. He definitely is one of my heroes. You can not help but identify with the person that he plays in the great movies he stared in.
It's called Charisma and he has it with bells on... You write well.
Plenty of people find Jack and Angelica beautiful, so please keep your comments about peoples'' looks to yourself. No one is the decider on looks. No one. And you are certainly not a decider on looks. And no one can ever say there will never be great actors in the future---of course there will be. That, too, was a dumb comment. Please don't post rude comments.
Jack reminds me of my gruff grandfather on my father's side who was muscle for the Chicago outfit lol 😄👍🏻
@@thefrontpage... you should switch to decaf and indica 🤔
A classic. One of those movies you can watch again and again. Love Jack.
I have watched this movie more number of times than the grains of sand on an average sized beach.
You know, as great as this movie was, I still absolutely loved Jack in "Chinatown". . .I love that screenplay, and I really don't think anyone but Jack would have played Jake better. . .But he's an actor I can really appreciate in any kind of story or role. . .Wouldn't you just love to spend an evening with him, listening to all the stories he could tell. . .Like another of my favorites, Robert Mitchum, Jack is just "forever cool". . .
I disagree. He's having a lot of fun here, and the audience is enjoying the hell out of it. He's very charasmatic, even when he's nervous.
He's one of those actors where even if you don't know what the movie is about you want to see it because he's in it and you know it will be good..
You can tell, Jack had the entire crowd mesmerized, eating out of the palm of his hand.
Jack is a treasure! What a treat it must have been to view such a masterpiece of Cinema with the star of the show! How he reminisced of his keen interest of the story from when originally published and the contributions of the the insanely talented cast was great!
What a very special Actor clearly he loves what he does.
If I ever had a chance to have an actor for dinner......well that one will be easier choice.
Jack Nicholson, I can ever imagine how entertainment he can always be.
The Oscar goes to you because you are one of kind.
I went to see Cuckoo's Nest just after it started playing in Melbourne, Australia. The one and only time I can remember an audience giving a standing ovation to a screen when the film ended.
By far one of the best movies I've ever seen! One of the few I went back and watched at least twice.
LOL...I've seen it at least once a year for decades...sometimes twice.
Love how he recounts not just the cast, but also the crews behind the team (even his stuntman). We know making this movie must feel really special to him by how much he still enjoy talking about it.
He doesn't mention Brad Dourif, who played Billy. Shame. Very underrated actor. Mississippi Burning, Deadwood, etc.
And chucky!
I wouldn't even say he's underrated. He's top tier genre acting pedigree and I think he's always catered to the audience that accepted him. It is a shame Nicholson didn't mention him, but they're two different worlds. Don't think I've ever seen Dourif walk the Hollywood red carpet.
Yes he did
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Yes, great actor, dont know of any other films he was in.
Now I want to watch "As good as it gets" followed by "The Departed". Two of my favorite Jack Nicholson movies
About Schmidt is great, too.
Also, The Postman Always Rings Twice, with Jessica Lange. Their sex scene on the kitchen table is memorable not because it's about sex but because of how Jack and Jessica blow the roof off the house without holding back for a moment.
As good as it gets has so many moments that Jack pulls off and makes his own, no other actor could have pulled these off except maybe Christopher Walken.
And The Passenger, Chinatown, The Last Detail, The Pledge...
@@waynej2608 carnal knowledge, the last detail, prizzis honor, somethings gotta give....
JACk NICHOLSON......the man......only a hand full of actors could walk away with a small role & steal the film.....EASY RIDER !
+MAXeMO MAXeMO Why was Easy rider so much better than Colors? Hopper directed Colors and you wouldn`t expect him to write in good gangsters he didn`t grow up around but the police in the film are crap as well, I suppose he could inject more coolness into Easy R. because of the nature of the film?!
Jack was great. Easy Rider? Was not great, but it brought Jack into the national consciousness. That was great.
Easy rider was only great bc Jack was in it. It wudve bin barely mediocre if he wasnt...
@@deanthomas5371 I never really thought about it until now, and you're right.
One of my favorites parts ill never forget is when they are playing cards for cigarettes and Danny Devito keeps messing with them and theyre torn in half..and billy babbit play a fantastic part.thanks for the videol
I bet a dime.
For all his shenanigans off set and his rep for being a wild man, I’ve ever once read or heard of any story where Jack was anything less than a complete professional and generous with everyone around him.
He brings ideas but doesn’t force them on people, he goes with the flow of the set. He never steps on anyone else’s moment.
He is an actor you trust. See a film of his and you and you trust that you are in good hands. Yeah, there may be bad films here and there, but he is never less than mesmerizing in any role.
Hands down without even a second place close finish this is my all-time favorite movie ever Jack is the man what an All-Star cast of characters great movie
An actor needs material. The main reason this movie is so amazing is that Ken Kesey wrote one of the best novels in history. If you dig the movie I strongly suggest reading the novel. A lot of it is told from the point of view of The Chief. It is well known that Kesey used a lot of psychedelics. I have read that he specifically used some type of psychedelic ( maybe mescaline?) while writing the parts from The Chief's point of view to give to the reader a more deeply expressive experience of his style of thinking, and the haze of the meds, and the basis of The Chief's values of Life. While in the "hospital" The Chief was being given large amounts of psycho-active drugs daily. He might have had some ceremonial use of psychedelics before his time in the "hospital" also. This is an "iceberg" type of story. You only visually see about 10% of the story. The other 90% is hidden from view under the water-line, but still has an impact on your sub-conscious.
Good observations. To me, it's all about masculinity. The patients have all been emasculated by their mothers, the system, whatever. The Big Nurse continues to do the same, not realizing she is doing it...she's one of those people who thinks her "professionalism" is real, and that it gives her the power to heal.....but Mc Murphy is very comfortable with his masculinity, and is a natural leader of men....all the guys love his camaraderie. McMurphy dies in the end, but because of his courage, the Chief is set free, and discovers his own masculinity....running off into the woods in the end.....so powerfully and such a healing film....
I've met Ken Kesey ; unfortunately I was only 10 and don't remember it .
He gave me a Signed Copy Of Sometimes a great notion.
Rob Sampson, Man that is an important example of American literature. You are quite fortunate. Hang on to that, it’s an heirloom.
@@Claytone-Records I also have a hat which belonged to Tim Leary...It has a secret pocket inside for ...hash ..
Rob Sampson, Oh man, is that a hoot. Sounds like you have a regular collection of...collections going.
That unmistakeable voice!
Jim Breuer was getting out of an elevator at SNL when Nicholson was getting in. It was about 2 in the morning. Nicholson looks at Breuer and goes "You LOOK how I FEEL." and smiled.
He had the “it” factor like few others in history. Charm and charisma coming out of his ears!! And his crazy hair.
Geez. I would've listened regardless of his time running over. I'd take a whole show of Jack.
There's a movie in just the coming together of the picture. Jack is still feeling the moments when the characters were coming together. He can't keep from smiling. Such young actors at the time that were working there craft. I think I'll see it now.
HE COULD JUST SAY, " HI", AND THESE PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH HYSTERICALLY.
His performance in The Shining was unfathomable too.
"A temporary loss of muscular coordination!!"
@Biruk Tebase lol
"And it was THREE Goddamn YEARS ago!!!!"
And in batman he has too many good movies man
Nah was really over the top which diminishes the film but having said that The Shinning is massively overrated anyway so may as well continue it into the performances.
The interplay between Nicholson and Louise Fletcher in that film was a joy to behold.
There will never be another Jack Nicholson. One of the most interesting people on the planet. Kind and dangerous at the same time. You always get Jack. The only movie where he didn't play himself was 'About Schmidt' 2002. It was an interesting movie, but I had to wait most of the movie until "Jack" came out in the bathroom scene. That was worth the wait.
his performances in the fortune and cuccoos nest both 1975 hard to believe it the same actor amazing
Cuckoo's Nest is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest actors of all time, but boy does he ramble. But at least he's rambling about interesting shit =)
Wrong. Dishonored the book. Wasted Jacks talent. If they did it right he would have been awesome.
if you want to hear a wonderful ramble from nicholson, find his intro to bob dylan’s award.. riveting
Ramblin' Jack can say more 15 seconds than most mortals can absorb in a lifetime.
Oh, Jack is a legend.
I really can't think of any other Actor so great. I enjoyed the video~great speech and love his voice, mannerisms, and there are, to die for, gorgeous eyes behind those shades~ So
handsome with or without them.
He's Jack and most special.
Great Actor, such incredible man. Aside this film,my favorite Two, is China Town, and Witches off East Wood...Meet this actor WIP at Warner's for one off his other films. Never sat in on screening, sat outside with us. We left him in peace, no fuss. Before he took off gave us an untire box off Champagne....!! Amazing Jack Nickolson!!!.🇺🇲🇩🇰😎📬
One of the many things I like about Jack Nicholson is that no matter how old he gets he's still so full of energy when he's in front of the camera.
50 years of career and he's still nothing less than a great actor.
My favorite for many years. I recently showed to my teenage kids and they were mesmerized! They laughed and cried as did I.👍
You don't get to hear Jack speak as Jack very often, so this is pretty cool. He seems kind of nervous here, which is kind of funny because he always plays badass characters with no fear.
Jack Nicholson is probably the best actor since Spencer Tracy and
that is pretty good. Hats off to Mr. Nicholson & Mr. Tracy, the best
in American acting.
One line I remember from the book, during the basketball game (Martini is the Danny DeVito character): "...and Martini kept passing the ball to people only he could see."
That guy is a total one of a kind character. So cool.
Jack Nicolson - the hombre everyone want to be a friend with.
Si
it's pretty obvious jack is one the best actors who ever came around. What's even more staggering is he's pretty old here, and it's 2023, and he's still around.
R.P. McMurphy is a role Nicholson was destined to portray.
It's one of the greatest if not the greatest movie ever, in more ways than one.
Jack never fails to captivate.
i hate reading, but i read one flew over the cuckoos nest by ken kesy for an english assignment. The movie is amazing, but the book is orgasmic.
Ken Kesy after leaving college was asked by a friend to take his place on a medical trial, he agreed, but of course the medical trial was just a front to aid recruitment, it was actually a CIA black op to investigate the effects of LSD on people, scary shit.
@@kevinbaird7277 ???
@@abderrahimabderrahim6659????????
@@kevinbaird7277 As it turns out he was dosed with lsd every day for 11 years. Well in that case, he looks terrific!!
Kesey hated the movie.
That would have been fantastic being there. One thing I have noticed, after reading the book "Hollywood Hellraisers" and reading/seeing interviews from Jack - he has such an unmitigated adoration for the craft of filmmaking. Just listening to him reminisce about Louise Fletcher, Milos, even the young woman who had the bit part of the girl on the boat - he just loves actors and acting and making whatever film he's in better.
This film had such a profound impact on one of my best friends and I at the time. We both still can't say enough good things about it.
A lot of peeps on here mention the book which is also quite a good read. Found it similar in a way to American Psycho (also a good film).
In Cuckoo's Nest Kesey writes through the eyes of the Indian character who hasn't had the most stellar education and so it takes a little while to get in to it I found.
In American Psycho Ellis' protagonist goes off into very long rants about Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis et al. This also in a similar kind of way took a bit of getting to grips with. Both good books though and a joy to be able to compare them with the films.
Thanks for your love and support, I really do appreciate. 💙💙💙
I think the casting on that film was perfect
I miss seeing him on film, such a brilliant actor, an inspiration and testament to what talent, training and work ethic can bring about. Love me some Jack Nicholson...oh and a nice man, met him once.
jack is the coolest guy in the universe
Don't know about that... but he's odds on favorite to be the hippest.
Jack is The Man!!! he is simply the finest actor ever, his role in Cukoo's Nest remains superb and one of the finest performances ever in films.
None cooler than Jack. He is on my Mount Rushmore of Actors!
WHERES THE WOMEN? WHERES THE PEOPLE OF COLOR??
Look at these retarded replies. The world is full of dumbasses..

My favourite Jack character .... Mr. Udall .... still cracks me up.
Jack Nicholson and Danny DeVito became friends before they became famous.
So...?
Who cares! They were probably more than friends, probably queer for each other!
I can definitely picture Jack liking both men and women.
What strange comment thread haha
I love both of theese actors, why the hate ?
No, It was Michael Douglas who was friends with DeVito long before the film.
Damn only Jack Nicholson can make wearing sunglasses on stage AND sitting down in an audience look cool
There’s a razor edginess to Jack, luv him!! One of the last great ones still here!! ❤️❤️❤️
😎😎😎😁😁
6:27 “Have I been three minutes?” Thank God for Jack!
Having been put in one of those places at age 15 in 1971 for drug abuse where I spent 3 years, I could have showed him how to escape. I was quite good at it. His escape in the movie was the tree-to-the-wall "hiding in plain sight" version which works if the security is relaxed and you get lucky. Bolting out the only unlocked door in the place across the grounds in the dead of winter and over the 12 foot ivy wall before they know what the fuck is going on is good too, unless you're 15 and the police pick up the chase after you're out. In that case you better have an apartment in town lined up to hide until the heat dies down and you can head down to the train station, or, the Greyhound > Woodshole, Mass > Nantucket Island.
He's a great actor and a madman.
The GREATEST actor of his generation. What else can you say........NOTHING
I saw Art Garfunkel in concert recently. He co-starred in the film Carnal Knowledge with Jack. He described how Jack had to throw a wild, violent tantrum in a bedroom scene, furious at his girlfriend, throwing things. Jack did it PERFECTLY...take after take...for a half a day!.....Art, amazed, said to him, "Jack, how can you do that so well, so many times?" To which Jack responded, "I don't know, Art. Ever since I was a kid, I just loved to act." Then Art said that this was exactly how he felt about singing. He did everything he could to maintain his voice, and improve it.....and he still sounds as good as ever....at 76...
Met Jack while he was filming Witches if Eastwick. My husband and I were taking a car ride down the coast and saw all the huge trucks pulled into a parking lot, so we pulled over. And there he was with his ponytail and lime green pants, he had just come off the beach from playing football with the guys. Asked for his autograph and he was most gracious in signing a pamphlet of antique shops in the area, as was only piece of paper I could muster up. He said, is this the best thing you have for an autograph, I managed to eke out, sorry it is.
He was interested in Cuckoo's Nest since it came out!? God this guy just gets better and better. He's got a good eye for picking great characters!
Just think Burt Reynolds turned this role down!He also rejected Terms of Endearment!Resurrected Jack's career!Jerk.
amazing actor one of the best ever
Great to hear some Jack background.
Thanks to all involved with this movie.
I personally loved it very much.
What a beauty, and I know it was a long time ago but I am in awe of his vitality.
Jack Nicholson is one of the best actors around. Another one of my favorite actors is Jimmy Stewart.
Thanks for your love and support, I really do appreciate. 💙💙💙
@@jacknicholson5863 Thanks for your love and support, I really do appreciate. 💜💜💜
Did Jack retire? I heard we was having trouble remembering lines these days.
He is going to be so missed when he's gone man.
His memory is probably fine,he's just old and wants to rest after like 50 years of work. Shoutouts to him for pretty much ending his career like this and not becoming a "comedy" movie buffon like De Niro.
Jack gave us his best years. He's wise to not foolishly attempt to stay in the limelight long after the party is over. So many have made this mistake. We will always have his movies.
Hello! I'm Google. Get to know me!
My absolute favorite Jack Nicholson film.
Absolutely brilliant film, new upcoming stars, great performances all round and took over the Oscars!!
Ann Bancroft! I like to imagine other people in certain parts, but I never thought about Ann Bancroft as Nurse Ratched. I can just imagine her in that role. Wow! That being said, Louise Fletcher was perfect for the part.
Jack was so high during this thing...he`s the best
Amazing film and ending cheering through the tears .
What a film
Talk about a GEM !! So glad I found this by accident !
