I had the same problem and reading some of the other lists I have already changed my mind. Shawshank is probably my top film of all time and I'm amazed it didn't come to my mind when I was thinking about it!
He was well before his time One of the great stand ups ........and was totally ripped off by Denis Leary.
None better mate, can't believe that he's been dead for over 20 years, I can remember watching him at his best... I've read his biography 'American Scream' which was good, a very complex character.
