There's a thousand comments we could all make about Jack Nicholson as to what makes him a fantastic actor,
a few not even preferring Nicholson.
I won't share my views about Nicholson other than to say the first time I ever saw him was in 5 Easy Pieces in 1970.
He was nominated for Best Actor. All I remember was his profound presence on screen
and the fact that he made everything seem so real. I thought, "I've never seen anybody like that!"
The best scene of all was in the famous diner scene
which typifies Nicholson's edgy, off the cuff presence.
It's awesome and I'd recommend viewing it as well as a great movie which about...

Summary, 5 Easy Pieces

Robert Dupea has given up his promising career as a concert pianist and is now working in oil fields.
He lives together with Rayette, who's a waitress in a diner.
When Robert hears from his sister that his father isn't well, he drives up to Washington to see him,
taking Rayette with him. There he gets confronted with his rich, cultured family that he had left behind.

See ya at the movies....
