 | Fortune, The [Read More ...] Description: It sounded like such an obviously successful combination: director Mike Nichols, stars Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson, and a highly touted newcomer named Stockard Channing.

 | Tommy [Read More ...] Description: If you've ever wanted to hear Jack Nicholson sing (or try to) or marvel at the sight of Ann-Margret drunkenly cavorting in a cascade of baked beans, Tommy is the movie you've been waiting for.
