Jack Nicholson didn't make a lot of Westerns , which, for a movie star who has maintained his standing as one of the greats since the 1960s, is somewhat surprising. That said, the man did manage to make one Western that went down as a critical hit and still enjoys a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score to this day: 1966's "The Shooting." Even better, the movie is now streaming for free over on Pluto TV.
Though he worked steadily for five decades before he disappeared from Hollywood, Nicholson only ever made five westerns, and most of them came during the early days of his career when he was still trying to break away from B-movies. His Western debut came with 1962's "The Broken Land," in which he co-starred with Robert Sampson and which sort of came and went without much fanfare. Monte Hellman
