Jack Nicholson has played everything from axe-wielding maniacs to grumpy retirees, making basically every director in Hollywood drool over the chance to work with him. The guy's been in movies forever and nabbed three Oscars along the way. Out of all the big-shot directors fighting to work with Jack, who actually got him on camera the most?

Correct Answer: Bob Rafelson
Bob Rafelson partnered up with Nicholson for six different films, starting back when Jack was just a screenwriter working on Rafelson's wacky Monkees movie "Head" in 1968. Their partnership spawned classics like "Five Easy Pieces" and "The King of Marvin Gardens," with their final team-up being 1996's "Blood and Wine." Nicholson told Esquire back in 2019, "I may have thought I started his career but I think he started my career." Gotta appreciate that some of the coolest films of the '70s were thanks to a duo that got their start on a movie about a made-for-TV band.
