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 -

Definitely USED CARS. But the sadly overlooked SO FINE should be mentioned and hasn't been in this thread yet. Nearly as many great, profane lines as he had in USED CARS: "I Used to ^&%$ like that!" "You're a mature woman, may I use a mature phrase? We call this cheap ^&%%!" and, of course, the great, great line while he observes the streets of Venice. Classic stuff!
SHAMPOO, THE VERDICT and AND JUSTICE FOR ALL also deserve mention, along with his great supporting part in MIGHTY APRHODITE. -

I know this might sound morbid but it's not intended to be "Things to do in Denver when your Dead"as Joe Heff the story teller in the malt shop,of course in "U.C's"&"D.W". and a memorable line that I've always remembered why? I don't know. playing Houston as his character in "Escape from Zahrain".Houston:"Yeah,I had a wife and two beautiful children".Laila:"Well, what happened to them?" Houston:"I uhh woke one morning and I ate em up"??!!
