Jack Nicholson is turning 87 next week. Among male actors, he holds the record for the greatest number of Academy Award nominations for acting. What is your favorite movie of his?

I'm watching a very early movie of Jack Nicholson called Little Shop of Horrors (1960). He is in his early 20s in this film (see picture). Next week, he is turning 87. He retired from acting over a dozen years ago. Still, he has acted in over 70 movies and TV shows.

Jack Nicholson is a legend, and this is one of those rare times not a lot of people will disagree with me calling him that. I mean he has been nominated for acting Academy Awards 12 times, which is a record. If we include actresses as well, he is tied with Katharine Hepburn, with 12 nominations, behind Meryl Streep's whopping 21 nominations. He has won three of these, which again puts him in great company (e.g., Streep, Day-Lewis) and behind only Hepburn with four wins.

I thought it's a good time to ask what your favorite Nicholson movie is and anything else you like to discuss about him.
