"Used Cars" always comes to mind first but what was really memorable to me was when he played against the grain, quite serious and scary, in "The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing" - i last saw this about 15 years ago. He kills Bo Hopkins with his bare hands and then it took everything Burt Reynolds (in his prime) had to stop him; Jack was also a rapist in this one. Whatta villain. Hard to believe it's the same guy from "And Justice For All", "While You Were Sleeping", "Heaven Can Wait" etc.

Jackie in "The Champ." It was a brief role but he had a touching scene with a tearful Rick Schroeder in the end.

I love him in
While You Were Sleeping
too. I thought he and Sandra had such great comedic chemistry. I've seen him in so many things but that's my favorite.

I think it's Dr. Ludwig Bessner in Death on the nile.

Juror #7 IN ''12 Angry Men''not just for the inane reason he gives for voting ''not guilty'' but the totally indignant reaction his vote gets from juror #11. A great moment.

That was going to be my answer word for word, that helicopter scene is ridiculously funny.
Take it away, Leon!

There are so many to name just one. My favorites would be:
The Verdict- He was just perfect as Paul Newman's friend and former boss who teams with him to win his case.
Shampoo- I always thought he deserved the Oscar for his superlative performance as Julie Christie's lover and Warren Beatty's possible investor.
Used Cars - Just hilarious !
All the President's Men - He stole every scene he was in
There are so many more - He alone made Problem Child watchable.
One of the Greatest Charactor Actor's ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I gotta go with "Used Cars." He was great in a duel role in that particular film. Rest in peace, Jack Warden; I miss you already.

Pops in Dirty Work is my all time favorite Jack Warden role but I also liked him on Problem Child as Big Ben.
