'L.A. Story' is tremendous. I like 'The Jerk' a lot, and 'All of Me' has some of Martin's best acting and physical comedy. 'Three Amigos' was one of my favourite movies as a kid; and it's fun to see him in 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels' and 'Planes, Trains and Automobiles' (he can play both sides of the "buffoon and straight man" pairing equally well). Ooh, and I love 'Roxanne'-------modern retelling of 'Cyrano', heck yeah I'm into that.

I also liked Three Amigos quite a bit a kid. Looking at his filmography, I guess he was in Little Shop of Horrors, which, unsurprisingly, horrified me as a kid (guess I'll list that as a favorite).

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles is great. Sgt. Bilko is okay too. Apparently he was a voice actor for Prince of Egypt? That's a top tier animated film.

Hm... There's probably others that are good I can't think of. I like Steve Martin, really funny guy.

I forgot he was in 'Prince of Egypt'. I now seem to recall he was one of Pharaoh's magicians who tried to duplicate Moses' 'tricks' to discredit him.

...I like the movie and much of the score, but that scene and song are pretty weak.

Weirdly, I've only seen a few of his movies; most of what I've seen from him has been TV or standup.
The Muppet Movie
The Jerk
The Prince of Egypt
Cheaper By the Dozen

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
