I can't think of a major 'other' off the top of my head, but maybe you know some I'm missing.

The only one I have seen is Mary Poppins so I picked that....

Fitzwilly, and Never a Dull Moment were both worth watching.

I don't believe either is any longer available on hard media.......shame.

There was one DVD movie when he is being chased through like this department store like enviro, and he jumps up on this turnstile type rack, and it is spinning. He pulls out a zippo lighter and ties to set off a fire sprinkler in the ceiling above.

I think it may have been one of the two I mention above. Anybody remember?

I voted for Bert from Mary Poppins.

It's not a movie, but I love him as a villain from Columbo, Negative Reaction.

I enjoyed the Columbo episode you referenced, so did the production team, the person who was dissatisfied with it as it turned out was Dick Van Dyke. He felt his character had too little to do, he was asked back to do another episode but declined. I had a little problem with the conclusion of the episode, that entire interrogation in the basement of the police station would have been inadmissible in court, and without it I don't think the case wasn't that strong.

The episode has two great scenes one with Joyce Van Patten playing the nun who thinks Columbo is one of the street people visiting her soup kitchen, and of course Larry Storch playing the uptight driving examiner who gets a ride from Columbo back to his office.
