Jack Nicholson

The other night, I saw the beginning of a Saturday Night Live re-run on the E! network, hosted by Helen Hunt. Everyone in the cast (this was in the Cheri Oteri days) came out during the monologue to do their Nicholson impressions, and then Jack himslef popped out. It took the crowd a full minute to calm down enough to get out a few cameo lines - and this, from a jaded New York audience. Few actors have had the kind of amazing career Jack Nicholson has enjoyed.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

List Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $7.50

Description
A nice rest in a state mental hospital beats a stretch in the pen, right? Randle P. McMurphy (Jack Nicholson), a free-spirited con with lightning in his veins and glib on his tongue, fakes insanity and moves in with what he calls the "nuts." Immediately, his contagious sense of disorder runs up against numbing routine. No way should guys pickled on sedatives shuffle around in bathrobes when the World Series is on. This means war! On one side is McMurphy. On the other is soft-spoken Nurse Ratched (Louise Fletcher), among the most coldly monstrous villains in film history. At stake is the fate of every patient on the ward. Based on Ken Kesey's acclaimed bestseller, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest swept all five major 1975 Academy Awards: Best Picture (produced by Saul Zaentz and Michael Douglas), Actor (Nicholson), Actress (Fletcher), Director (Milos Forman) and Adapted Screenplay (Lawrence Hauben and Bo Goldman). Raucous, searing and with a superb cast that includes Brad Dourif, Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd in his film debut, this one soars.

The Border
By:
List Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $6.73

Amazon.com
This is one of Jack Nicholson's most underrated performances and director Tony Richardson's most overlooked films. Nicholson is a member of the U.S. Border Patrol who moves with his materialistic wife (Valerie Perrine) to a small Texas town. There, his new colleagues try to pull him into the web of corruption that runs through the local department and he's tempted, because the illicit cash will help pay the bills that his charge-happy wife is running up. But his conscience gets the better of him when he gets involved in a case of a young Mexican woman whose baby is stolen to be sold for adoption. Nicholson simmers, stews, and eventually explodes. The superior cast includes Perrine, Harvey Keitel, and Warren Oates. --Marshall Fine

• James Bond, Jimmy Stewart and the greatest voices of all time
Pierce Brosnan had the looks and the attitude, but as James Bond he always came up a bit lacking. The problem, I finally decided, was his soft, whispery voice. His ?Bond, James Bond? came out like a caress, not a punch. His successor, Daniel Craig, was initially derided for lacking some essential hunky or dashing qualities, yet when he hit the screen as Bond, he dominated. His musculature got much of the attention, and his steely blue eyes didn?t hurt, but the key, again, was the voice: low, • Jack Torrance's first novel finally published
The official description:Jack Torrance's first novel, finally published after his untimely death at the Overlook Hotel."All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Boy is nothing short of a complete rethinking of what a novel can and should be. It's true that, taken on its own, All Work is plotless. But like the best of Beckett, the lack of forward momentum is precisely the point. If it's nearly impossible to read, let us take a moment to consider how difficult it must have been to write. One is forc • 80?s and 90?s Batman Flicks Arrive on Blu-Ray
80?s and 90?s Batman Flicks Arrive on Blu-Ray January 8th, 2009--by Stephen Schleicher Warner Home Video has announced the complete ?pre-Nolan? Batman films will be released on Blu-Ray on March 10, 2009. This is really close to the Watchmen movie release date, and may be a further snub to 20th Century Fox and its desire to release the Adam West Batman movie on DVD. The collection inlcudes Batman (1989) - Jack Nicholson is The Joker, who emerged from a horrible accident as a maniacal crimina • My Own Horrorfest
I need to recharge my batteries after the long holiday. I've been thinking and thinking on how to do that. Then inspiration hit from an unexpected source. MLB Collector is in the middle of a Horrorfest, so I've decided to borrow the idea and throw one of my own.Out of my 1,000+ DVDs, I selected fifteen titles that run the gamut of horror. I've left out a lot of familiar titles that I've seen countless times. I decided it would be fun to focus on movies that I like (in some cases love), but don't • JACK NICHOLSON WAS THERE WHEN ANJELICA HUSTON NEEDED HIM
Jack Nicholson showed up for his ex-girlfriend Anjelica Huston at the funeral for her husband of 16 years, Robert Graham. Graham was a world famous sculptor responsible for the statue at the Roosevelt memorial in Washington and the Duke Ellington memorial in New York's Central Park. Jack and Anjelica were together from 1973 to 1989. Among numerous other works, Graham also created the Great Bronze Doors at the Cathedral of Our Lady of Angels in Los Angeles, and that's where the funeral was held
