In honour of his passing
1) Love Story - schmaltz, yes, but done with freshness, and he and Ali have genuine chemistry... he should've done The Champ
2) What's Up Doc? - channelling Cary Grant very well, he should've done it more often (Rob Lowe in Illegally Yours channelled Ryan in this)
3) Paper Moon - probably his best film and performance
4) Barry Lyndon - not an easy role, his contribution is often forgotten but at least the film has had a long tail
5) The Driver - nothing wrong with his performance at all I think audiences just didn't like him in these sort of roles
6) Irreconciliably Yours - he's an absolute delight playing Peter Bogdanovich
7) The Main Event - very funny, he teamed marvellously well with Babs
8) Chances Are - a self effacing lovely support performance in a sweet film
9) The Thief Who Came to Dinner -the film isn't as pretty as it needed to be but O'Neal's work as fine
10) So Fine - as with The Driver his performance is actually fine, I think he was just miscast
