The Taking of Pelham 123 is probably my favorite Matthau film. The role is SO Matthau, the film SO New York. It has humorous wisecracks, plenty of suspense and patient police work by Matthau's transit cop character as he chases baddie Robert Shaw who's holding a subway car full of hostages. Many good, New Yorkish supporting actors too.
I can hear the theme music in my head right now...
