Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Admired for his unraveling performance as Roy Neary, though his Oscar win for The Goodbye Girl is treated as odd.
About 24 minJaws (1975)
Praised for his eyes, comic timing, and the Hooper character's energy, though the hosts also mention he could be difficult.

Praised as excellent in the film and as having a strong late-career run, especially for the emotional 'trying not to cry' face.

Called a perfect political antagonist who feels like an early Dick Cheney-type figure.
About 16 minWhat About Bob? (1991)
