Layla Halfhill at \/Film posted Jack Nicholson’s 15 Most Iconic Roles Ranked<\/a>.  Her list is a good one.  Truth be told, I think when you’re talking about Jack Nicholson’s most iconic roles, they can be boiled down to three. Before you click over to Halfhill’s article, here are my picks and rationale for my choices…<\/p>\n

3.  Randal McMurphy, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest<\/em> – This is the movie that made people sit up and take notice of Nicholson’s acting.  For the longest time it was his most iconic role.<\/p>\n

2.  Colonel Nathan Jessup, A Few Good Men<\/em> – I chose this as Nicholson’s second most iconic role and it all boils down to the “You can’t handle the truth” scene.  While the role is not as iconic as my choice for #1, I’ll bet that the A Few Good Men<\/em> line is quoted more often than “Here’s Johnny!”<\/p>\n

1.  Jack Torrance, The Shining<\/em> – Most people think of this role whenever Nicholson’s name is mentioned. Although Stephen King would argue, he was great in the role for Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
