He's my favorite actor from the Golden Age of Films. I know he was in Dr. Strangelove, but what else did he star in that was better?

I don't think Wynn was in Snakes on a Plane since he died about 20 years ago.

Better than Dr Strangelove? As a movie, not many better than that. But I liked Keenan in the following:
Nashville (1975)
The War Wagon (1967)
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (1970) voice only
The Great Race (1965)
The AbsentMinded Professor (1961)

Keenan Wynn appeared in hundreds of movies and television shows between 1934 and 1986. Early notable Wynn performances can be seen in See Here Private Hargrove (1944), Under the Clock (1945), Week-End at the Waldorf (45), The Hucksters (1947) and Annie Get Your Gun (1950). He had a featured role in Kiss Me, Kate (1953) and The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956). Promoter Jerry Marks in Frank Capra's A Hole In The Head (1959). His best-known part was as Col. "Bat" Guano in Dr. Strangelove (1964), the same year he starred in the Jerry Lewis comedy, The Patsy. He appeared as the villainous Alonzo P. Hawk in the "flubber" movies, The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) and Son of Flubber (1963), in which his father appeared as well. Wynn took a dramatic turn as the tough as nails Yost in Point Blank (1967) with Lee Marvin. He was the voice of the Winter Warlock in the holiday classic Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town. He appeared with Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent in The Mechanic. He also appeared in other Disney films, including Herbie Rides Again (1974) (curiously, as Alonzo A. Hawk, although the character is virtually identical to the Flubber versions) and The Shaggy D.A. (1974). He had an uncredited role in Touch of Evil. He also appeared in such films as Finian's Rainbow, Laserblast, Joe Dante's Piranha, Robert Altman's Nashville, Dino De Laurentiis' Orca, and the cult favorite Parts: The Clonus Horror. He was a regular on Dallas from 1979-1980, playing the part of "Digger Barnes".

wow, when i thought about him, the first movie that came to mind was the Stagecoach remake where he played a very very bad guy.
i might remember his performance in this film because of the actors he played off of. this film highlighted some of the young actors of the day along with vets--i really liked the ensemble effort and Wynn effort made the film better.
