The actor recently shared his condolences following the death of his collaborator Rob Reiner. In honour of his career, here is a list of the star’s top five films.
5. Throw Momma from the Train (1987)
Crystal made his directorial debut while starring opposite Danny DeVito in this dark Hitchcock-inspired comedy. The film showed his range beyond traditional comedy and earned cult status for its offbeat tone.
4. Analyze This (1999)
Paired with Robert De Niro, Crystal played a neurotic therapist whose life is turned upside down by a mafia boss seeking help. The odd-couple chemistry powered the film’s success and spawned a sequel.
3. Monsters, Inc. (2001)
As the voice of Mike Wazowski, Crystal brought manic energy and warmth to Pixar’s animated classic. The role introduced him to a new generation and remains one of his most beloved performances.
2. City Slickers (1991)
Crystal won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his heartfelt, hilarious turn as Mitch Robbins, a man facing a midlife crisis on a cattle drive. The film blended comedy with surprising emotional depth and became a massive box-office hit.
1. When Harry Met Sally… (1989)
Crystal’s neurotic, fast-talking performance as Harry Burns became one of the most iconic roles in romantic comedy history. His chemistry with Meg Ryan—and the film’s sharp, observational humour—helped redefine the modern rom-com.
