3. Colonel Nathan R. Jessup — A Few Good Men
Ever screamed “You can’t handle the truth!” with OTT emphasis and wondered where you’d quoted it from? It was immortalised by Nicholson’s high-strung Colonel character in this film, which won him an Oscar.
2. Jack Torrance — The Shining
Jack Nicholson does terrifying and violent very well, and this was his masterpiece as far as that goes.
