I've been watching lots of early Brando films and was just wondering what is everyone's favourite Brando film?

My favorite and what I think is his best work of his early films is in "A Streetcar Named Desire" as Stanley Kowalski. The greatest acting performance ever in film. The most raw, realistic, yet sensitive and intense performance.

Ebert pointed out a little detail of Brando, notice when Stanley is telling Stella about Blanche's involvement w/ a student...while he is bad-mouthing Stella's sister...he still shows his gentle side and picks a lint ball off of her sweater and throws it to the side.

I love his attention to detail at Blanche's b-day dinner. Where Stanley smashes and throws the plate...while going off at the women, he is still chewing his chicken. And, in a close up, you can see the chicken bits on his lips while speaking. Fabulou!

It was the first performance of its kind in film. It brought Method acting to the forefront. The one that inspired and paved the way for De Niro, Pacino, etc.

Brando was brilliant in "On the Waterfront," "the Men", "Viva Zapata," and "Julius Caesar." His role as Marc Anthony was the hardest for him.

-A Streetcar Named Desire-

Stanley: You want a shot? (offers liquor)
Blanche: No, I rarely touch it.
Stanley: There's some people that rarely touch it, but it touches them often.

On The Waterfront... Definately his best after The Godfather.

if you're the kindof person who can take a lot of death. It shows the horrors of the Vietnam War pretty much.

waterfront and last Tango in Paris

I thought A. Now was a great movie. But i don't think Brando was instrumental in making it a great movie. Brando's was so-so because his screen time was very brief and he seems to be mumbling about stupid things.

Brando was at the top of his game with Waterfront, Godfather and Last Tango in Paris.

I voted for "Apocalypse Now". First of all, because it was an excellent movie made by the man who made my favorite movie (No, not "The Cotton Club" ). Second, even though he didn't have a lot of screen time, his role was very important to the film and very well acted.

How am I not myself?

I voted The Freshman 'cause I thought he was funnuy playing the Godfather in the Freshman.

Did anybody vote for Superman? Man, Marlon Brando looked ridiculous in that movie.

I definetly feel that Apocalypse Now ! is the best, it portrays Viet Nam so well.

I am not that sort of person who trusts his friendship to those who do not value it- on those who think me of little account. Don Vito Corleone to Amerigo Bonasera.

SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!!
