# Wolf (1994)

Oct 26, 2026 | Rated 2 out of 5 | Dir. Mike Nichols

James Spader and Jack Nicholson fight under a full moon in slow motion while Ennio Morricone plays saxophone. Such a wildly unintentionally funny movie.

I never thought I’d see Jack Nicholson peon James Spader, but here we are.

It’s also Allison janney and David Schwimmer’s first roles ever, which is so funny
