GREAT actor...great dramatic guy...but then in a role like Four Christmases...he killed it! Funniest actor in that film...of a lot of funny actors! Wow...95? Would not have guessed that!
7 time Oscar nominee with 1 win for Tender Mercies. He was an all timer.

Apocolypse Now
80s:
Tender Mercies
The Natural
Colors
90s:
Days of Thunder
Falling Down
The Paper
Sling Blade
The Apostle
Deep Impact
A Civil Action
00s:
Open Range
Gods and Generals
Thank You For Smoking
The Road
Crazy Heart
10s:
The Judge
Jack Reacher

You can add Lonesome Dove to the 80s
One of the greats. His performances in Open Range and The Paper aren't as well known but were so nuanced and brilliant.
Also don't forget M*A*S*H the movie as the original Frank Burns.
I thought I caught a wiff of Napalm in the air, "Son, nothing else in the world quite smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning." LTC Kilgore ( Robert Duvall)
Really good in this underrated film
It ain't dyin' I'm talking about, Woodrow. It's livin'.
"Charlie don't surf!"
A line which was hysterical and horrifying at the same time.

The line I keep laughing at since I read this thread is from Four Christmases: "Your grandmother's boyfriend is a first-class ass-sniffer! And you can tell him that I said so."
I admit...I laugh at immature things...but to see/hear Robert Duvall drop that line just made me laugh so hard it brought tears to my eyes!

Gus McCrae is the greatest character in the American literary canon, and Duvall played him perfectly.

RIP to a true legend. Never an A-lister but maybe the greatest character actor of all-time.
