Rollerball, Misery, and Honeymoon in Vegas come to mind for different reasons. He's done so much other great work.

"Misery" was quite the talk of the time when it came out.
In the video posted at the top, he gave Cathy Bates a node to her part in that movie's success.
This wack on the foot was most memorable.

RIP Mr. Caan
He was terrific in Thief as well. If only much of the rest of the movie didn't drag it down.
Only now with HDR/Dolby Theatre and proper equipment could a dim-lit movie like that look it's best.
Wish it and many like it would be re-released in 4K HDR like Blade Runner.Expect that there will be bumps in the road. Choose to not let them rattle you.

James Caan was a PRCA tie-down roper and team roper. Caan earned $2,404 in his PRCA career – all in team roping.
In 1980, Caan, a heeler, competing with 1974 PRCA Team Roping World Champion H.P. Evetts won money at the National Western Stock Show and Rodeo in Denver with a 7.3-second run.
"I think the reason the cowboys accept me is because I'm at a rodeo to win," Caan said in Jan. 14, 1980, PRCA press release. "I'm not some Hollywood guy who acts like a professional roper, I am one. As a matter of fact, my rodeo accomplishments mean more to me than my Oscar nomination for the "Godfather." There's something about rodeo dirt that makes me feel clean – it gets me away from the fakery of Hollywood, and back to the basics."
