Jack Nicholson’s Greatest Singular Movie Scene?

It’s still raining out here in Deer Creek in this series of monsoonal rains. I have about 3.7 inches of precip in the official Deer Springs rain gauge so far.

Stanley Cup Finals don’t start till tomorrow night. I don’t watch non-major golf events… nor do I watch regular season major league baseball games. The Hawks host the Bucks, but that’s not until tonight.

I need something to kill about thirty minutes till I can get outside on the ranch with my chain saw and fell what’s left of a lacebark elm which was destroyed in the October ice storm. I was hoping the tree could be salvaged, but that’s not the case. Might as well do it today while it’s relatively cool outside.

So what is the greatest Jack Nicholson movie scene of all-time?

At my Aunt V’s recent 91st birthday dinner…my cousin Taylor and I narrowed it down to two selections. I nominated the diner scene from Five Easy Pieces and he nominated the restaurant scene from Terms of Endearment.

I’ve given quite some thought to this since the party two weeks ago and I’m still locked in internal debate.

Sometime later today…I feel as if I need to resolve this for my own inner peace. Maybe firing up the chain saw will bring me to terms with my choice.

#1 Terms of Endearment Restaurant Scene

#2 Five Easy Pieces Diner Scene
