Jack Nicholson's all time top role is as Jake Gittes in Polanski's "Chinatown".
Follow Ups:
Rico,What's your feeling on The Two Jakes? FWIW, I think it pales next to Chinatown (what doesn't in the mystery/noir genre?)...but it's not a bad film. Expectations were running a little high for this sequel, and Jack ending up directing after writer Robert Towne bailed on him.
My fave Nicholson part...Garret Breedlove, in Terms/Endearment. The lines he was given are so funny (I'd rather stick needile in my eyes...I was this close to a clean getaway" etc) are still some of the best imo...not a bad co-star, either!
Have a good w/e,
Gary
I was disapointed, let down, when I first saw this, but then again who wasn't? Over the years I have returned to it and now appreciate it for what is. There originally was supposed to be a third installment, I think involving road construction and which took place in the fifties. There are some nice touched in TTJ but I still have trouble with the pat ending. And I don't understand the "Green Parrot" sequence.
