Anything with Jack Nicholson in it, apart from his appearances in Head and The Raven. I can just about tolerate The Shining as it was made by Kubrick, but I can't think of another film he's been in that I've enjoyed.

As Good As It Gets is a horrible, mean spirited film.

It's bloody funny and one of his best. I only watched it a few weeks ago and love it. Jack is like a good bottle of port, gets better with age.

I find he's always worth watching. He's like a force of nature, you just buckle up and enjoy the ride

After his first major role where he was easily the best thing in Easy Rider (1969), a few others worth watching, even if you only watch them for Jack, are:
Five Easy Pieces (1970)
Chinatown (1974)
Tommy (1975)
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)
The Shining (1980)
The Witches of Eastwick (1987)
Hoffa (1992)
Mars Attacks! (1996)
and of course, The Departed (2006)

I love Jack, I just hate this film! I found all the characters thoroughly unpleasant and could not empathise with any of them. I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing it after hearing so many good things about it (and Helen Hunt is cute too). The performances are superb, I just couldn't find it in me to laugh with those horrible people.

If you haven't seen it, I can highly recommend The Pledge.

Not Greg ... his character, and it's got nothing to do with the fact that Mrs Bat fancies him!

Mrs Bat is clearly a woman of taste.
