A couple a wks ago I saw a movie that Andy Griffith starred in called A FACE IN THE CROWD. This was his first film. This 1957 film was directed by Elia Kazan. Andy's character,Lonesome Rhodes is so unlike his laid back Andy Taylor role from the Andy Griffith Show. He can really sing the blues! Keith Olbermann even compares the Lonesome Rhodes character to Glenn Beck. Personally I think the movie was ahead of its time.
TCM will re-air this film tomorrow night 9:45pm pst/12:45am est

And then there's his NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS. He plays a not to bright gullible private who's been taken advantage of from his sergeant. Think Gomer Pyle. A fun film to watch. You can watch it
on the computer but you need to install the veoh player first

He also had a few made for tv movies, a couple of them where he plays a psychotic.
And there's his Matlock, which I've never seen, except for bits & pieces.
