Saturday Night at Market Chess Cinemas

One of the great Jack Nicholson's more overlooked films (these days) is Five Easy Pieces (1970), which delves into the notion of the divide between blue and white collar jobs, mindsets, and people. It is also a good story about chasing after places, things, and people, which often comes at the expense of inner peace.

I consider this some of Nicholson's best work, and is definitely worth a viewing some forty-five years after its release.
