Don't forget the galactic emperor in Starcrash. Truly an unforgettable role.

Not one of his truly best roles, but any Plummer fan should check out "Silent Partner". He plays against type as a psychotic bank-robber/murderer in a late-70s Canadian thriller that's as good as almost anything by Hitchcock.

I agree that his fans should check it out but disagree that it’s not one of his best roles — I think he is superb in this chilling film. His performance is truly scary but also rather funny - an ingenious character and a brilliant performance.
