Jack Nicholson's greatest performance: Jack Nicholson.
No bad thing, either. What a star.

Nicholson earned his first Academy Award for Best Actor for portraying Randall P. McMurphy in Ken Kesey's novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, directed by Miloš Forman in 1975. His Academy Award for Best Actor was matched with the Academy Award for Best Actress given to Louise Fletcher for her portrayal of Nurse Ratched.
Nicholson as The Joker in Batman (1989).Although he didn't garner any Oscar attention for Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining (1980), it remains one of Nicholson's most significant roles.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. It took 5 Academy Awards. I read the book in 1964 and thought then that it was the best book I ever read. Read it twice.
When the movie came out I also thought it the best movie I had ever seen and still do.
The movie did justice to the book. That doesn't happen often.
