You seriously think Nicholson can be cooler than Clint Eastwood in a movie?
Please think about it some more

I never said he can be cooler, I said beeing cool in a movie is easy compared to complex stuff like playing someone on the brink of madness like in Cuckoo´s Nest or Shining...thats why Jack is the superior actor.

Thats true, but considering Clint Eastwood has gone on to become one of the most celebrated directors of Hollywood, while Nicholson has gone on to... well ,anger management and departed, the comparison of them as talented personalities tips towards Mr. Eastwood

I don´t care what they did when (BTW old Jack acted fantastic in "As good as it gets") I adore both of them a lot but I think you have to mesure them by what they did in their prime, and Jacks acting skills in his prime are unmatched... Clint may be a great director but he´s not the best, Jack still sets the high mark for playing borderline insane charakters... so in my book he winns the talen competition... if you want to take into account the good and the bad (and the ugly) you need to consider coutless mediocre westerns Clint did as well...

Following that logic leads to:

Paris Hilton >>>>>>>>>>> Clint

and we don´t want that now do we ???



 

 

 

Clint's great in his movies but in real life he's a complete cunt but I don't know what Jack's like, so if Jack's nice I'll choose Jack, if Jack's also a cunt I'll choose Clint.

P.S. I was going to make a clit joke but that's childish an immature!!

I'm pretty sure I remember a story where Jack Nicholson smashed another driver's window. Just throwing that out in the open. Anyways, I'm giving the prize to Jack just for making me laugh so much. If the contest was between Jack Nicholson and Gregory Peck, on the other hand, it wouldn't have been such an easy decision.

 



 

 

I have to go with Clint, I love his westerns and he is a great director. Such a badass.

That quote alone make Jack a legendary person, I love his movies and i thought he was fantastic in the Departed(My favorite film BTW,) he actually improvised the moajority of his lines.

Clint has some memorable westerns but some crap ones too. I liked him in Million Dollar Baby and Unforgiven he is a good director but he always seems to play a stolid loner who lives by his own rules.

Jack all the way!
