If it wasn't for the one and only Jack Nicholson that beat off tough competition like De Nior, Pacino and Barndon; then it would've been unbelievable!"Total Film" revealed its top 200 greatest movie performances of all time, and Jack Nicholson flew and landed on the top with his rebel hero performance in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Next" production of 1975. In this film directed by Milos Foreman, Nicholson plays the role of "McMurphy' who tried to escape labor duties in prison by pleading insanity, but then is submitted into a ward of the mentally unstable. McMurphy finds himself with his inmates under the oppression and degradation of the institution leaders, so he leads a rebellious stand against them. Winning five Oscars, including Best Actor, Director and Picture, it seems that the Nest is still doing Nicholson favours. As for his stiff competition that landed safe and sound in the 2nd place, it was Robert De Niro for his inspirational role as Jake La Motta in "Raging Bull" produced in 1980 and 3rd Place was for Daniel Day-Lewis for his role in the 2007 film "There will be Blood"."The God Father" saved the 4th spot for Al Pacino when he played Michael Corleone in the 2nd part in 1974. A female land on the 5th place for her role in "Breaking the Waves" production of 1996, that's Emily Watson and in 6th is the legendary Marlon Brandon for his role in the 1954 "On the Waterfront". Comes in at 7th, is Denzel Washington for his 1992 role in "Malcom X", 8th is Jane Fonda for the 1997 "Klut" and Paul Newman deceived the list but only got to no. 9 for his 1961 in "The Hustler". The top 10 list of the 200 ends with another list by Liam Neeson for his remarkable performance in the "Schindler's List" of 1993.To watch the full list of the 200 performances, please visit: http://www.totalfilm.com/features/the-200-greatest-movie-performances-of-all-time/
