Answer: As Good as it Gets

Melvin Udall is a romance writer and the neighbour from hell. As the film unfolds we see that he has a heart of gold. John Travolta was the original first choice to play Melvin.
2. "All work and no play make Jack a dull boy."

Answer: The Shining

Directed by Stanley Kubrick, this is based on a novel by Stephen King and sees Nicholson play a family man entrusted to be the caretaker of a lonely hotel over the winter. Various taglines were used for this film, including "He came as the caretaker, but this hotel had its own guardians".

4. "A man went looking for America and couldn't find it anywhere!"

Answer: Easy Rider

Two bikers, played by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, set off for New Orleans to 'find America'. On the way they encounter Nicholson at a hippie commune.

7. "Nice planet. We'll take it!"

Answer: Mars Attacks!

Nicholson's intergalactic rhetoric as US President falls on deaf ears as he tries to negotiate a truce with Martians in this film. Warren Beatty was originally cast as the president. Are we seeing a trend here?

Oh yes and by the way - his role was originally written for Burt Reynolds!
