The Shining is poor, but I’m biased as I find horror a bit dull and I was also annoyed that it didn’t follow the book very well at all (I loved the book when I was a kid).
I’d add As Good as it Gets and About Schmidt to the list of great films of his. Chinatown and One Flew Overt he Cuckoos Nest are easily his best mind and two of the best films ever made.
I watched The Pledge again the other day and he’s excellent in that too.
Millsy Never seen it, it’s on the list.
Embarrassed to admit i only watched the shining in it’s entirety, for the first time, at the start of this year. I enjoyed it. He played that character and scenario really well i thought.
Going to watch chinatown this weekend.
-si- Chinatown is a fucking brilliant film. One of my all-time favourites.
He was good in The Departed too, with his crazy hair.
That Eddie Radmayne gives me the heebie jeebies. No way I’m leaving him with my kids. Ever.
Haven’t seen Chinatown in yonks. May have to dig it out this weekend.
All I remember is the ending fucking me up. It’s been a long time for me too.
I watched it recently, been going through some classic films with our youngest - he’s been loving it and it’s been great watching films like that you haven’t seen for a long time. French Connection up next - what a treat
Nicholson is such a great actor, and Chinatown is superb.
Imagine a night out on the lash with Nicholson!
He was still crushing it with the ladies not too long ago too. Love this clip.
Along_the_Wire Now you’re talking. The second part is class too. What a character Popeye is.
LT42 Yeah, love the second one - always underrated that one, but it’s great - Gene Hackman does some turn in that.
Love Hackman in his pomp too. Mississippi Burning might need a run out soon too. Quality
Watched “Enemy of the State” not too long ago. Held up quite well! Hackman is excellent in it as always.
Apocalypto - 4/10. Lots of action, and a sad story, but it was too long, and some of the plot just fell flat for me.
