Sorry to hear this.
My favorite was him in 'The In-Laws' with Peter falk. I don't think I laughed so hard in a movie theatre.

"Serpentine, Serpentine"
 
I think his best movie is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter (1968).
When a deaf-mute Singer moves to a new town to be near his hospitalized friend, he makes an indelible impression on the lives of those around him as well as the audience. It is a heartfelt movie that carries a strong message about the disabled. It was nominated for 11 major awards and won 3. Rotten Tomatoes gave it 100% with an 85% audience rating.

If you like this kind of movie, give it a try. I don't think it is avail free anywhere, so it will cost about $3 to watch it.
 
A lesser known but entertaining film with Arkin:
