Jack Nicholson As Good As It Gets scene

par Yuna: Jack Nicholson

There is something strangely comforting about watching Jack Nicholson stare Greg Kinnear down while he cries. The line where Melvin tells Nelly you're a disgrace to depression has become one of the most rewatched and quoted moments in cinema history. It feels like tough love, even though it was just emotional violence delivered by Melvin. As Good As It Gets manages to make that specific kind of harshness feel iconic.
