Little Hawk:

Ernest Borgnine in Marty. Want to expand his list to two? How about Ernest Borgnine in Bad Day at Black Rock? Howzabout Three. Or Ernest Borgnine in a lousy movie I like to watch... Escape From New York. Just the premise of escaping from New York is entertaining on it's own part. How about From Here To Eternity? Even Flight of the Phoenix was a good movie. He wasn't the leading man in all of these, to second your comment, but he sure was in Marty.
