1. Grumpy Old Men. Although anything with Jack Lemmon.

They worked beautifully together.

2. Other: "The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3"

One of his rare dramatic roles and he was great.

Is that Goss, or not?

4. "The Taking of Pelham One, Two, Three"

A wonderful, little-seen now caper flick about the hijacking of a New York subway train. Mattheu played the cop. Robert Shaw the villain.

For Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino lifted the idea of having the crooks known only as "Mr Blue," "Mr Green," etc.

5. First one that came to mind was "The Taking of Pelham 123"

He was pretty good in that and it was a serious role.

7. Other: "A New Leaf"

At once deliciously dark and sweet.

10. The Survivors - when I first saw it, I was too young to understand

how funny it was.

11. Hey, where's "I'm Not Rappaport"???

That's my favorite of his most recent ones.

13. Other: "Fail Safe"

A complete opposite of every other Walter Matthau movie. Serious contender for Most Horrifying Movie Ending Ever.
