Your favorite Charles Grodin movie?
I was watching "Clifford" the other night and thought Charles Grodin was great in it. "Midnight Run" is another favorite Grodin performance of mine.
I checked IMDB and noticed he's only made one film in the last 16 years. What's up with that? He should be in more movies.

I know it's awful but Clifford has some great moments in between the awfulness, specifically the diner party. The way Grodin goes nuts at the end, perfect.

I voted "other" since when I think of Grodin, the first film that comes to mind is The Incredible Shrinking Woman, even though I haven't seen that one since I was a kid.

Even though it's a small supporting role, the best movie on that list is Rosemary's Baby and he's perfect in it.
So that gets my vote.

I picked Seems Like Old Times since it had a better impression on me than Beethoven when I was a child. The way he handles himself in that movie makes it note-perfect in terms of his performance. Both of those movies still hold up splendidly, but Seems Like Old Times is a lot funnier and his reactions to everything in the film are uproarious.

He was best in Midnight Run.
I really enjoyed Seems Like Old Times and The Great Muppet Caper as a kid, but I wonder how they've held up. He was also pretty funny in Dave.
Guilty pleasure: King Kong

Love him in Midnight Run, Real Life, Seems Like Old Times, & The Lonely Guy. Saw The Heartbreak Kid a couple weeks ago for the first time. Strange but fascinating movie, and he plays against type. Probably his best "acting" role, though I like the others I listed more.

even though MR gets the nod, i really liked Taking Care of Business and surprised it didn't make the poll.
