    What about
    Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood? (imo the greatest performance of all time)
    Al Pacino in The Godfather?
    Robert De Niro in Goodfellas?
    Ben Kingsley in Gandhi?
    Tom Hulce in Amadeus?
    Christoph Waltz in Inglourious Basterds?
    Tom Cruise in Magnolia?
    Denzel Washington in Malcolm X?
    Ralph Fiennes in Schindler's List?
    Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver?
    Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs?
    Philip Seymour Hoffman in The Master?
    Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon?
    Robert De Niro in The King of Comedy?

      Most of those you list are great performances. Nicholson as Randall Macmurphy was significantly better though.

          He was absolutely captivating. His expressions, his delivery he nailed the character he portrayed. Every scene you focused on him, his reactions to what really was happening. Everything he did was so believable he won audiences over world wide when this movie was realesed. The sutulties of every expression and line formed the movie and drew you deeper into the plot. The role required he hold the audience, there where no gimmicks, stunts, etc. Just pure dialog and raw emotion.
          Watch the movie if you so desire and maybe you see what I do. And then again you may not. Even the greatest acting characteristics can be subjective from individual to individual.

            I think DDL in There Will Be Blood and Al Pacino as Michael Corleone completely blow away Nicholson's performance. Not saying that it wasn't good, it is one of the greatest acting performances of all time, but it doesn't hold a candle to Pacino or Day-Lewis.

                Also, I think Nicholson's performance in The Shining is better than this one- now that is a top contender for the greatest performance in history.

                  No. Billy Bob Thornton in "Sling Blade" is best of all time to me.

                      He's right up there with Al Pacino from Godfather II
