Thank you

Incredible performances by Barrymore and Lombard. Both should have got oscars for Twentieth Century.

Yes. Thank you.

Yes, a great movie. Thank you.

Had he received Oscar-nominations for COUNSELOR AT LAW (1933) and TWENTIETH CENTURY (1934) they certainly wouldn't have been undeserved.

making my way through all of his movies right now

Super Natural

HANDS DOWN THERE IS WAS NO ONE EVEN CLOSE TO JOHN WATCH SILENT OR TALKING MOVIES GREATEST ACTOR EVER 👍💥

All three Barrymores appeared together in only one movie, Rasputin and the Empress. While not a particularly accurate history in part due to a law suit from the assassin prince, Prince Felix Yusupov. it is an impressive movie. It was partially based on the Prince's 1928 memoir but more so on the novel by Alfred Klabund in 1927 Rasputin. The three Barrymores also were caricatured in the Mickey Mouse cartoon Mickey's Gala Premiere (1933) as they appeared in the movie.

I agree he was the greatest. The picture at about 2:40 looks more like it is of Fredric March, not the Great Barrymore. ua-cam.com/video/cH-58zw2iGc/v-deo.html

BRAVO!

To me, none finer has ever existed. Hugely talented; a natural-?; or, extremely extensive training-? Tragically, far too self destructive; &, unwilling to arrest his fatal ailment: severe alcoholism.

I love him and I always will! Barrymore was full of live, he was a man full of contradictions (intelligent, subtle, athletic, wise, passionate, witty, talented, handsome but irresponsible, weak, brutal, melancholic, vulgar, addicted, pitiful, untidy) and that's why he was a brilliant actor. Tempest and Don Juan - he was great in these movies too.

Lee Tracy read him to FILTH! Too real!

It's interesting that the comments favorable are mostly from men who seem to really appreciate his talents.

He moved his eyebrows way too much and his facial expressions were annoying.

Yeah, and on another site they don't even list him in top 50! Contemporary film fans don't even know what acting is they think its being cast in action roles.

Chris Plummer is having a drink and a laugh with Barrymore at this very moment...........

Awesome compilation. His techniques are dated but the depth of his craft is clear cut. Too bad there was no footage of Maurice

Thank you for not talking for three hours first and just showing the performances. Well done mate.

I couldn’t stand to watch more than 10 minutes of Twentieth Century. All they did was yell at each other at the top of their lungs. Not funny just annoying. John always seemed overrated to me while brother Lionel was underrated.

I love, love the Barrymores. So damn interesting! I knew nothing about Ethel. I had seen DINNER AT EIGHT a few times. I watched GRAND HOTEL finally. So good. What a fun motion picture. Check out my episode on John....it links to his brother and sister at the end if you want to go whole hog! ua-cam.com/video/0QORFxgKri8/v-deo.html

In the poster of Dr. Jekkyll & Mister Hyde it looks like John Barrymore and John Lennon....together again for the first time! Finally saw a Bill of Divorcement. They are all so over the top BUT the script is so over the top. They are all fantastic! Everyone is so good in Dinner at Eight....that Motion Picture seems so much more natural compared to Bill of Divorcement! Love this film. Love the play...I love the film GRAND HOTEL but understand why you didn't include it. Great job!!! ua-cam.com/video/WXsV8HIWcTE/v-deo.html&start_radio=1

What a badass

The Legend John Barrymore

Caprio ,Pitt eat your heart out this guy was a great actor

Does he not remind anyone of Salvador Dali? I bet he could have pulled it off.

So what was #7?

🙏

His Svengali is evil, disgusting and pathetic. A real rival for Lugosi's Dracula

Thrilling actor. Tragic fellow.

I asked famed Producer Alfred de Liagre what he thought of Barrymores Shakespeare. He thought his Hamlet was rather overdone, but his Richard was thrilling

Is this drew Barrymore's grandad

Everyone should read biography Goodnight Sweet Prince. Great actor, and a full life. Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic. Thanks for making this.

Joan Crawford and the Barrymore brothers carried this great pic!

Svengali was my favorite I seen it tonight

the poster of this video forgot the critical words "To me" - "To me - the greatest actor" - that would blunt the arrogant tone when stating that HE KNOWS who the greatest is - especially in matters of taste - but there is no objective way of rating acting - it comes down to what each of us prefers in a performance - and that will differ

I've never seen one of his films, but looking this he looks to me something like between Michael Caine and Gene Wilder...

I loved him in Svengali he did some of the best acting I’ve ever seen within that film.

The most movies Barrymore was completely drunk and seems as he sits and stumbles over his words

Twentieth Century should be number 1. He's brilliant in it.

Absolutely loved John Barrymore! And his brother Lionel and Sister Ethyl! What a great family tree! John's voice, body language, and those eyes could carry such emotion! Could not stop drinking the wine of BarrymoreBarrymoreBarrymore!! His Sherlock Holmes (1922) was delightful also (with a very young William Powell and Roland Young!)

What about Counsellor At Law? Do you know it? I think it's my favorite of all his performances, along with Larry Renault in Dinner At Eight.

Good survey. Especially like the inclusion of “A Bill of Divorcement.” But where is “Counsellor at Law”?

There has never been a more perfect blend of a trained actor and a natural actor. He also had an uncanny understanding of comedy. He was born to perform. You cannot take tour eyes off of him.

John was the greatest actor of all time . Thank you!

I have great respect for the talent of Mr. Barrymore after reading his biography. Like many great talents his demons overcame him. He is someone to be forever be watched . Thank you.

Jack Barrymore was the greatest Shakespearean actor of the 20th century. He added the psychological emphasis to Hamlet and Richard III. Even today no one varies from his interpretation. I would include "Grand Hotel", "Midnight", "Topaze" and "The Great Man Votes to the list. He was incredble as an actor and a tragedy as a man.

Thiers more famous actors/people who will say Olivier or Brando is the greatest of all time.Barrymore was great in his day but Brando /Olivier surpassed him
