After about a decade of scraping by in drive-in level flicks for the likes of Roger Corman, Jack Nicholson became an instant star-on-the-rise after his film-stealing supporting role in the phenomenal hit Easy Rider (1969). Over the next six years he exploded in a series of starring roles, culminating with being named Oscar's Best Actor for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which was already his fifth nomination (he has eleven to date, and three statues).
Of those impressive years, 1970-1975, which Nicholson performance do you think is the best of the bunch, and why?
