Definitely one of the best and most influential actors of all time, but I'd say Al Pacino is the greatest. It'd be fair to say Pacino and De Niro surpassed Brando.
Nicholson as well Marlon inspired the other greatest actors of all time Jack Nicholson Al Pacino Robert De Niro Dustin Hoffman Etc Marlon is the goat of acting
@@LesnarBuiltThePyramids Which is why he's the most influential actor of all time and one of the best ever. But Al Pacino is the greatest, both him and De Niro surpassed Brando.
Before him , no one was remotely like him. Since him, everyone is effected by his influence. Like Caruso and Miles Davis, he changed the direction of his entire profession. He said "I coulda been SOMEbody" (most would say I coulda BEEN somebody) turning it from a throwaway line to one of the most iconic in film history. Genius.
There are talented actors and there is genius. Talent needs to work, practice a lot, where genius just needs a little time to picture it in his mind. Marlon Brando was genius!
How can he be both ridiculously over the top and totally believable? That , and his unique capacity to go from 0 to 100 in a half second, is why we cant take our eyes off him. There is always the sensation that he is ABOUT to do something. Waiting....waiting.....BANG- always just below the surface. Fascinating
The best? Really? He could not even memorize his lines. The lines had to be written out in huge letters on cards, so that he could read them. You call that a great actor? No! That is one of the most basic skills an actor must master, memorizing their lines!
@@thomaspick4123 Thats how you know he is the best. Imagine not remembering your lines and delivering legendary scenes like in apocalypse now. He was natural my personal favourite is al pacino but brando is the greatest without a doubt. Btw you rypled to a 5 year old comment.
@@thomaspick4123 that says more for his talent in film. To read a line off of a card or paper and nobody not even notice it until it was made known to the public. You can name any actor but they can't surpass brando. Not even Daniel day lewis who people throw out there and say he is more real. No he just lives like the character longer. And brando made the method what it is known as anyway. He was the best thing that happened to Lee Strasburg and gave him hoffman, pacino, Hackman, duvall, de Niro, rourke, whoever else. He changed acting there will never be anyone more influential because he made all after him possible
Brando is the greatest actor because of his unmatched acting range. From 1950-60 he played a paraplegic in THE MEN, Stanley Kowalski in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, a Mexican revolutionary in VIVA ZAPATA, Mark Anthony, a Hell's Angel. Terry Malloy in ON THE WATERFRONT, Napoleon in DESIREE, sang and danced in GUYS AND DOLLS, Japanese man in TEAHOUSE OF THE AUGUST MOON, a contrite nazi in YOUNG LIONS then directed ONE EYED JACKS.
In terms of acting ability alone, One Eyed Jacks was one of Brando’ s best films. He depicted multiple levels and kinds of emotional intensity from one scene to the next.One character,always intense , but in subtly shaded differentiations.Seriously fine edged acting.
One of Brando's best roles and one that he does not get enough credit for is in the Fugitive kind. Second to last scene in this clip.. Against all of the others here, it definitely shines as the best.
Brando is my favorite, but I have to say Jack Nicholson in his prime is a very close second. Check out Missouri Breaks, Nicholson holds his own quite well with Brando. I think his performances in Chinatown, Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining are as good and as iconic as anything Brando did.
The Last Detail, was a great one Nicholson did. The Pledge. The Passenger. Really great. The ones that you mentioned. I think Jack, and a few others like Pacino, De Niro, are truly great. I just believe that Brando was the original, the masterful inspiration, for all whom came after him. From Dean, to Depp. Great range. A genius. And I don't throw that term around.
@@waynej2608 I greatly admire all the actors mentioned, but don't forget Daniel Day Lewis - the man can play any role. And the Pledge...what an underrated film, and it contains one of Jack's finest performances.
I think Nicholson between 1967 and 1974 (or even 1976) was exceptional, but his best or anyone else's best does not match up to Brando's best works in 'Last Tango in Paris' and 'A Streetcar Named Desire'.
The cab scene with Stieger is still the best and most relatable, meaningful scene in movie history...it touches on the entirety of the human tragedy more completely than any other...a thousand philosophy and religious texts are contained in that simple, Cain and Abel interplay...woe unto you, if you understand it, but if if you don't, you can feel it...the way Brando ignores the gun alone, like getting shot would be a mercy rather than to feel what he's feeling, Stieger's look of final understanding, that he's damned them both...all underplayed, which makes it even more real and overwhelming. Nothing has or will ever top it-it's why the lines are iconic, still remembered 60+ years later and the movie still resonates
thisthingofours I Totally agree with you on that. Especially when Tony was Raging, it had Brando written all over it. Tony Saprano (sp?) was an amazing character and James Galdonfini was an awesome actor. He had an amazing range of emotion and he made the most interesting transitions. I especially appreciated the scenes he did with Carmela. Sometimes I actually thought I was watching Brando. I think he would have done an excellent job if he did the play “Streetcar Named Desire”!!!! He would have been Great as Stanley Kowalski!!! RIP to two wonderful Actors.
I watched a streetcar named desire for the first time only yesterday and my first thought was that James caan definitely was doing a brando as Stanley impression for sonny. He has it right down to the stance and walk
Elba Ponce dicen que momentos antes de su muerte dijo que más haya de toda tragedia, el no se arrepintió de nada, celebró su vida orgullosamente y pego su último suspiró
que nadie lo tome a mal, y aclaro que soy fanático del histrionismo virtuoso-técnico de brando, pero en la escena que comparte con nicholson -de la película "missouri"- el viejo jack se lo morfa crudo y sin alardes... brando está descolocado por completo; pero, gran actor, noble ser humano, lo reconoce con una media sonrisa espontánea y genial que, por lo menos, hace tablas al final del envite... dos animalitos de dios inspirados...
Was he had weight problem? I mean his finest looks was in a streetcar named desire. Handsome as hell and in the wild one he still thin and on the waterfront he gained weight. Maybe because of the role he played. He looked older in that movie and It was only 4 years after the a streetcar named desire.
joeyxl3456 Totally acting on that one, it was supposed to be a sexual movie. That girl just blame Brando for his stupid addictive behavior, which is stupid because she coulda get good roles but she was in drugs too deeply way before Marlon and mixing every part of it she found out she was "outraged", disgusting thoughts. Even that scene is not in this video.
He made acting feel more realistic than anyone else.
Victor Liedholm not just that he made you feel something
Marlon Brando, pound for pound he's still the greatest actor ever.
@NMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI i know about him but brando is the greatest and much better
Definitely one of the best and most influential actors of all time, but I'd say Al Pacino is the greatest.
It'd be fair to say Pacino and De Niro surpassed Brando.
He looks like my dad
@@princesmith8008 Marlon Brando is still the most influential.
You would not have pacino,de niro,hoffman without the innovation of Brando,
1970chileno Well said..totally agree
Nicholson as well Marlon inspired the other greatest actors of all time
Jack Nicholson
Al Pacino
Robert De Niro
Dustin Hoffman Etc
Marlon is the goat of acting
@@LesnarBuiltThePyramids Which is why he's the most influential actor of all time and one of the best ever.
But Al Pacino is the greatest, both him and De Niro surpassed Brando.
And certainly all younger method actors after Marlon Brando such as Christian Bale, Bobby Downey Jr etc
@@stevenwongso66 Downey isn't a method actor
Before him , no one was remotely like him. Since him, everyone is effected by his influence. Like Caruso and Miles Davis, he changed the direction of his entire profession. He said "I coulda been SOMEbody" (most would say I coulda BEEN somebody) turning it from a throwaway line to one of the most iconic in film history. Genius.
His voice is different in every film. Most actors can do the emotion and the gestures, but they always sound the same.
Nero I think the only other one who can do it well is Daniel day Lewis
@AMA 55 NIDHIN JOBI 🤣🤣🤣
There are talented actors and there is genius. Talent needs to work, practice a lot, where genius just needs a little time to picture it in his mind. Marlon Brando was genius!
He's not just a different character for each film, he's really a different person
How can he be both ridiculously over the top and totally believable? That , and his unique capacity to go from 0 to 100 in a half second, is why we cant take our eyes off him. There is always the sensation that he is ABOUT to do something. Waiting....waiting.....BANG- always just below the surface. Fascinating
Jimmy Stewart and a few others could bring it also but Brando had every component. What aya Got!! Absolutely great.
brando was the best-period,and the most creative of all actors.
The best? Really? He could not even memorize his lines. The lines had to be written out in huge letters on cards, so that he could read them. You call that a great actor? No! That is one of the most basic skills an actor must master, memorizing their lines!

One Eyed Jacks and The Chase are ones that deserve more credit. Brando's acting in those is sublime. Oh, and The Fugitive Kind, as well. Brilliant.
Wayne J Agree.
Burn is also one of his best
One of Brando's best roles and one that he does not get enough credit for is in the Fugitive kind. Second to last scene in this clip.. Against all of the others here, it definitely shines as the best.
A beautiful collection! Truly, I love it. So many scenes I'd never saw. Great!!!
BRANDO, PACINO, NICHOLSON....the best of all time.
you can't see california without marlon brando's eyes
It's all in your head, it's all in my head
Ive watched so many movies with so many great actors. Ive never seen such pure acting in my life. Ive watched this scene so many times.
Brando is my favorite, but I have to say Jack Nicholson in his prime is a very close second. Check out Missouri Breaks, Nicholson holds his own quite well with Brando. I think his performances in Chinatown, Cuckoo's Nest and The Shining are as good and as iconic as anything Brando did.

"I cudda been-a contenda" One of the best lines ever.
I can watch MB all day long..Cant get enough off him-

and he played a great variety of roles. More than any other actor, that I can recall.
He was so handsome
One of my All-Time-Favorite-Scenes: Marlon Brando and Al Pacino in the garden just talking.

Aplausos por sus interpretaciones.Estamis en el 2017 y busco su filmografia!!.Que importante que fue.

That movies is entitled "The Missouri Breaks" with Jack Nicholson; it's one of my favourite Westerns.
Thank you
Forget just choosing one. Brando, Pacino, Harrison Ford, and De Niro are the best of all time.
I love you Marlon Brendon
The best ever Rip Don Vito
dude, the man could play batman at the age of 70! Marlon Brando is that amazing :)
Greatest actor,greatest movie lead actor that’s Marlon
Pound for Pound, our finest American Actor.
The G.O.A.T.
@ 6:45 i can hear his influence on James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano.
Nice bro, look at this scene then remind me to James in The Sopranos, same exactly.

Fuck u and ur family

Looking at this if godfather was made in 50s Brando could have been sonny 😂😂😂

Anyone else thinks that Brando and Christopher Lambert look alike?
For Justice...we Must go to Don Corleone!
The goat
El mejor actor de la historia, el lo cambio todo.
Richard Schickel called Brando's acting an "Act of God"
love the vid, but a bit to many adds come.
i think daniel day-lweis is the best now
Not anymore
Inesquecível Marlon Brando!
i like him and anthony hopkins...i can't separate the two
The biker black leather jacket Brando wore it before Dean.
the fugitive kind
James Dean a strong contender,even if he was only ever in three major films.
I 'll make these 9 dislikers an offer they can't refuse!

que nadie lo tome a mal, y aclaro que soy fanático del histrionismo virtuoso-técnico de brando, pero en la escena que comparte con nicholson -de la película "missouri"- el viejo jack se lo morfa crudo y sin alardes... brando está descolocado por completo; pero, gran actor, noble ser humano, lo reconoce con una media sonrisa espontánea y genial que, por lo menos, hace tablas al final del envite... dos animalitos de dios inspirados...
I think his ancestry, at least his name, is French...Brandeau. Anyway, he.s the best!
German Dutch. Irish.
ArseneWenger French and Irish blood not a single piece of German dna.
"His ancestry included English, Irish, German, Dutch, French Huguenot, Welsh, and Scottish" - IMDB.
google so hard durrr
German .
Now I understand why johny deep is so succesful actor Its sound like johny deep voice
02:00 - 02:11
Was he had weight problem? I mean his finest looks was in a streetcar named desire. Handsome as hell and in the wild one he still thin and on the waterfront he gained weight. Maybe because of the role he played. He looked older in that movie and It was only 4 years after the a streetcar named desire.
Oh man.................you forgot Jor-el. At the time the highest paid role of all time.
nobody as realistic
He got better looking as he aged, yeah!
I do like Mr. Duvall as well. As Boo!
Tom Hardy is the modern Brando!
He is indeed the best right now
No doubt he is THE FUGITIVE KIND.
5:16 maronna mia look at how hot Al Pacino was .... he undresses ya with the eyes ....
versatile actor ever like johny depp
He ain't Italian. His roots are from Dutch, German, English and Irish.
the part in The Last Tango wasnt acting. i couldnt watch it. too painful.
joeyxl3456 Totally acting on that one, it was supposed to be a sexual movie.

I hate the movie, but that scene is devastating. I can watch it , but not often. I cry when he fumbles with the chair!
I can't look away.
You're welcome. Make sure you check out my compilations of other movie icons such as Burt Lancaster, Jack Nicholson, Toshiro Mifune and Paul Newman!
Ohh wow good looking men
i didn't know he played marc antony
What is the movie called, the clip right after Godfather?
well he is the godfather of jonny fontane
