On top of everything else,he's part of what's become TV's longest running live action comedy (it's not Taxi).

Hard to choose. I loved Romancing The Stone when it came out at the movies but haven't seen it since. Maybe it just had a good cast overall and that's what made it work? DeVito's consistently good in everything he does.

In terms of 'serious acting' I want to say Cuckoo's Nest...but all of the stuff listed features enjoyable performances of his that I've liked. I haven't seen Dumbo or Hoffa but I've seen the rest and can't say I disliked any of them. I'll have to mull this one over a bit.

I've generally liked DeVito's work, but I can't think of anything that I'd really want to watch again at this point.

I might watch Taxi, but I was thinking movies. Even Taxi, though, I don't think I could watch it all.
A Best Of compilation would be best.

I through Twins and Romancing the Stone were both really funny movies, but LA Confidential is on another level of cinema.

I love Danny DeVito, but he is never the main draw for a movie (including all of these). Frank on Always Sunny is the funniest he's ever been. So I go outside the box to TV and pick Always Sunny. :)

Looking at that list, I realize that I feel similarly.

But I picked "Get Shorty," cause I love that movie.

Met director Barry Sonnenfeld a few months ago (Get Shorty) and the Chilli Palmer character was supposed to be Danny but he got busy directing Matilda so only does a smaller part in that movie. Danny is one of Hollywood’s best producers.
