Poll: When Life Gives You Lemons... Watch a Jack Lemmon Movie

A poll by rubyfruit76
Jack Lemmon's formidable talent and craft included his range: for example, the two time Oscar winner could do drama and comedy with equal success. Filmmakers took notice and cast him in so many different kinds of roles that Lemmon's great versatility became part of his appeal among audiences: when we're down and want to feel understood or gain insight, we can watch one of his dramas; when we're down and want to be distracted and laugh, we can cheer up with one of his comedies. No matter what life gives you, there's a Jack Lemmon film to help. Which of his performances have you most appreciated?
