To think what The Godfather is and what could have been had the Paramount "geniuses" had their way... But they had Francis Ford Coppola, a true artist, fighting for his vision. And that vision gave us Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, John Cazale, James Caan...Can there be a more perfect cast? I doubt it. What a movie.
Agreed, the cast and characters are perfect, as well as the story and direction. The novel is also really worth reading, whether you have the seen film or not
Fer Abra I thought the novel explained the scenes and both the theme and conflicts of the story more in-depth, as well as describing the characters with wonderful details
It still blows my mind that he made The Godfather and Tango in Paris within a year. Totally opposite characters. How he so naturally portrayed the age difference is a complete mystery to me.
+Thomas Reilly Laurence Olivier excelled in an acting approach that was already well-established; Brando helped establishing an entirely new acting approach to film acting that influenced multiple actors for years to come. And if you want to talk about one of the greatest actors in history, then I'm certain most theatre historians will mention David Garrick
1) The Godfather 2) A Streetcar Named Desire 3) On the Waterfront 4) Apocalypse Now 5) The Wild One 6) Viva Zapata! 7) Julius Caesar 8) Last Tango In Paris 9) Sayonara 10) One-Eyed Jacks
Brando had it all. Intelligence, strength, sensitivity, extreme sensuality and under the cool exterior there was anger and passion. He brought it all to the screen. He makes it so real, you forget who he is and become totally immersed in the character and the story. He was pure genius, There are other great actors, but I don't think anyone gets close to Brando.

One of my favourites. He behaves so naturally on screen. You can really see how his emotions switches and bubbles inside of him, he is really living the character. There are many great actors but he had something special, whenever he walked into a scene, all eyes were on him. Of course his unique attractive looks helped but it's a brutal and painful honesty in his eyes that really shined through at his best moments.
Last Tango in Paris, is not only Brando's best performance as an actor, it's also the best film he's ever been involved with. Not only is it superbly directed, it also show's Brando as who he was a person. There is loneliness hidden under impatience in his performance. He is not acting, he is performing as his emotions say he is. Absolute perfection.
I completely agree with you, and yet Brando hated doing that movie, and so did Maria Schneider too. However, I would probably have felt the same way if I was going to act in that movie; it may be beautiful, dramatic, and artistic, but the sexual scenes were so realistic that Maria felt they were completely real, almost like she felt she was really being raped. Quote from Brando regarding the movie: "Never again will I make a film like this one. For the first time, I have felt a violation of my innermost self. It should be the last time" It's nevertheless one of my favorite movies with him, and I actually like that performance much better than The Godfather.
MortyBoy15 it's strange that you said that because in one documentary, it is said Brando felt the two greatest directors he has ever been able to work with were Francis Ford Coppola and Bernardo Bertolucci. It also should be noted that although Maria Schnieder wasn't able to reconcile with the director, Brando and Bertolucci were able to be friends again in a few years. But yeah, agreed. The Godfather was a great performance and all, but Last Tango in Paris was such a realistic and painful and heartbreaking performance that it literally put me to tears.
arthousefanatic Really? I've always thought Elia Kazan and Francis Ford Coppola were his favorite directors, and that he never wanted to act in a movie like "Last Tango in Paris" again. But again, there are constantly rumors about Brando, so it's possible that you're right
Ryzen RX II when he was old he looked like a fat teddy bear and looked pretty cute, but in his 20s, 30s & 40s he looked like the sexiest man that ever lived I can say this as a straight man
+Remy I ohh but how wrong you are... im sure in general publics eye that could be the case!! :) but any movie freak, or really anyone with adequate knowledge of movies and movie history, will remember him as the greatest cinema actor of all time who would make everything he touched magical and that his part in godfather was just one of many incredible performances he brought to the public ! :)
+Joose Pajunen I find him very fascinating and can relate to some of his views and thoughts on things. But I have only seen a handfull of films. Would you as a fan of Brando (and you seem to have knowledge about his career) give me an ultimate "must watch" list from his early days till his late career? I would appreciate it a lot!
+Filip - (Aren Bi) well the movies named here are all good (meaby add viva zapata and a few others like the fugitive kid, the young lions and you can watch his film debut the men). you get the essential ones. i would say those are good to start with !
"The Wild One" is probably the most impressive. Not because it's a great film, it really isn't, but Brando is so good that he singlehandedly elevates it to high art.
"Dinner With Marlon" is a film exploring the real life encounter between Marlon Brando and Truman Capote. You can view it here: ua-cam.com/video/hDA6q_l6bGo/v-deo.html
One of his most excellent performances that were not mentioned here was his first motion picture role in 1950 The men, he was just perfect in that role.
Aside from Vito Corleone, it's certainly the one that modern audiences remember the most. Did you know that Josh Brolin took influence from Brando's portrayal of Kurtz when he played Thanos? You can see it in the way Thanos carries himself.
Brando was poetry in motion... beautiful poetry. He had it all - looks, talent, humor, intelligence, sensuality, vulnerability - he was a beautiful soul, inside and out.
Marlon, the number one actor and the greatest of all Times.He influenced generations of actors still today.The first to act the Stanyslawsky acting method; The only one
Favorite Brando performance: Apocalypse Now! Such a gritty, almost surreal performance speaking on how cultures die, it was and continues to be a nigh prophetic crescendo that doesn't let you go until it chooses to. Unsettlingly brilliant!
@Kelly Angel Burn I haven't seen the whole of Apocalypse Now but I have seen Kurtz's speech about horror. It's similar to the uncanny valley. In some ways Brando's TOO natural, to the point where it paradoxically makes Kurtz seem unnatural, which adds to his godlike presence. I've also seen the deleted scene where he's surrounded by children and they seem completely comfortable around him, even though he's murdered members of their tribe. To quote Heart of Darkness, which is the source material for Apocalypse Now, "No, they were not inhuman. Well, you know, that was the worst of it - this suspicion of their not being inhuman".
Thank you for not putting The Godfather as #1. People always seem to associate Marlon Brando with that movie and forget that he had a plethora of great performances
Way to make Brando look like a self-absorbed Prima Donna instead of an empathetic soul towards the Native Americans by not accepting his Oscar for Don Corleone. Well done. (Slow clap) -.-
First of all this isn't about me also you haven't proved to me that what he done changed anything and seeing as you don't know me how would u know what I done for charity
I can remember my mom talking about how she had such a big crush on Marlon Brando, and I had only ever seen The Godfather so I wasn’t really aware of what he looked like when he was younger. After seeing clips from A Streetcar Named Desire, I completely understand.😍 I mean DAYUM!!!
i have a strong connection with marlon brando though we don't know each other. i admire him as much as myself. a great human being he was and still forever.
Marlon Brando is the most gorgeous guy I've♥️♥️♥️ ever seen. He changed acting forever. He is the greatest actor in cinema history! There will never be another Marlon Brando in this lifetime.🙏💔🙏💔🙏
yeah just recently watched that and I love musicals. He didn't have the strongest voice but man oh man that doesn't even matter because he just oozes sensuality and charisma all over the screen. He is magnetic. I couldn't stop staring at him. "luck be a lady tooonight"
Marlon was not just a professional, he created much of the styles and themes of acting, he's a legend who blessed the profession of acting and took it to another level , immortal ..
With Brando you can't choose. The tiniest role but when he comes on you are glued to the screen and pray that it never ends As jack Nicholson said when Brando goes everyone moves up one but till movies last no one moves up. There aren't any Brandos. He is a class act, a class apart an inexplicable class by himself. He is indescribable.. Oh god the languages don't have words for gods chosen oone.
//He was one of the most talented and temperamental actors in history//.YOU ARE WRONG....!!! HE WAS ,IS & WILL BE THE NO:1 IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND...!! LOVE YOU MARLON LOVE FROM INDIA...!!!
@@shaungreen4756 Not a bad actor? Dumbfuck, he's the greatest actor to ever live, his acting skills are unparalleled. Probably De Niro or Pacino came close, but thats about it. Nobody's on his level.
Correction: Francis Coppola the director himself said in the Godfather reunion (45yrslater) that Brando did not give him problems at all. It was the studio execs who did!
Brando's top 5 performances are some of the best acting performances of all time. I don't see very many people playing a Paul or a Vito or a Stanley better than the GOAT himself.
You forget “ The Men “ (1950)where he plays a bitter, paralyzed war-veteran. From director Fred Zinneman who later directed classics like High Noon and The Day Of The Jackal (adapted from Frederic Forsyth’s classic novel). Marlon does a great perfomance in what is, if i’m right, his first feature in film.
I am so happy i read this comment! Most people say Streetcar was his first feature, but they often over look The Men, and his performance is amazing there too.
"Now we got here In the state of Louisiana what's known as the Napoleonic code. Now according to that, what belongs to the wife belongs to the husband and vice versa"
Great list.... completely agree with it. Waterfront, Godfather and Streetcar could have been ranked 1A, 1B and 1C. To me they are all equally excellent.
sai srinivas I know him. I’m cinephile man and I have watched thousands of movies. I've watched movies in many countries, especially from India, Germany, Italy and France, Greece,etc. Yeah he is good but he can’t touch the greatest Americans / English actors. He’s not even the greatest actor in India's history man. It’s a blaspheme to compare him to Brando and de Niro. 😛
sai srinivas I have watched many,it’s not even close. He can’t touch Brando’s performances. Okay, you are from India, but clam down dude. You can’t compare Brando who changed the cinema with mohanlal. Jesus. Yeah and his roles was different but he acts similar...
Though its popular to refer to Brando and De Niro as Method actors. Method acting is associated with Lee Strasberg. Brando, however, was Stella Adler's protege and even lived with her and her husband Harold Clurman to work on his craft. She was strongly opposed to Lee Strasberg's method, which was based heavily on emotional memory. Her technique was more directly influenced by Stanislavski, whom she studied with in Paris. Stanislavski had experimented with emotional memory, but then rejected it. De Niro also studied with Stella, though not as her protege. By contrast, Al Pacino studied with Strasberg and obviously used his Method to great success. Strasberg too was a fine actor as can be seen in Godfather 2.
His performance in ‘On The Waterfront’ is the high watermark in acting in motion picture history. He’s the greatest actor, Male or female in the history of cinema, silent and talkies. No one will ever surpass him. He’s the greatest there ever was, is or will ever be
He was amazing in guys and dolls, no matter what people will say about him not being a singer. For a non singer he does a great job and he is just so attractive and classy in it!
@Teringventje He was considered to be too good to play 007,so someone suggested putting him in a movie as either 008 or 001-they put those 2 numbers forward because they weren't sure which of them would be seen by the general public as the number most superior to the number 007.
I saw the first film Brando made, The Men and thought he was good but it was Brando's performance in a Streetcar Named Desire that blew me away. Phenomenal performance. You look at his landmark films: Streetcar, Zapata, Waterfront, Godfather, Tango, etc...it's easy to see why he's regarded as the greatest actor to have ever lived. I just wish he took acting seriously as he aged. So many great roles he passed on. I guess everyone has to carve out their own path in life. Still a great body of work by a great actor.
luv him! Marlon's one of my favorite actors now! he was soo beautiful and talented! the first one I saw with him was Guys and Dolls just recently saw a streetcar named desire and my oh my I fell in love with him in that one! he was just like DROP DEAD GORGEOUS he was one of the most attractive men I've ever seen in my life 😏🔥🥵 I'm gonna watch the wild one soon!
When I was up in NYC just a few days ago I was going through Hell's Kitchen and walked by the old Actor's Studio building and the first thing I thought of was Brando in 'Streetcar', If I had a time machine I'd want to to see that premier with him in it on stage more than anything else. I just can't imagine the New York theatre and Broadway scene without him and the impact that he had on it.
"When Brando dies, everybody moves up one." - Jack Nicholson
Grim Reaper what does this mean?
@@randywhite3947 it means Brando is the best. He is at number 1 of all the actors of the all the time. This is what Nicholson meant.
Mik bad at what?
@Divine_D Without Brando there would be no Pacino
Brilliant actor until he got nutty..
To think what The Godfather is and what could have been had the Paramount "geniuses" had their way... But they had Francis Ford Coppola, a true artist, fighting for his vision.

Agreed, the cast and characters are perfect, as well as the story and direction. The novel is also really worth reading, whether you have the seen film or not
StrasbergProtégé I read the novel. The film is better. Much more focused,
Fer Abra I thought the novel explained the scenes and both the theme and conflicts of the story more in-depth, as well as describing the characters with wonderful details
StrasbergProtégé Don't get me wrong, it is a good novel, I enjoyed it. But the movie is art. It takes the story to another level in my opinion.
Fer Abra Yes, I also like the movie better, but it was easier to understand it and enjoy it after reading the novel
He is one of the best actors of all time. Not to mention one of the SEXIEST.
His grandson is also sexy like Marlon
KiKi really lol.. marlon only one
In every role he is sexy?
Malcolm McDowell is the sexiest actor of all time. In his 20s.
Boy u like 7
It still blows my mind that he made The Godfather and Tango in Paris within a year. Totally opposite characters. How he so naturally portrayed the age difference is a complete mystery to me.
Tango in Paris 😈😁😬🥴🥵
Godfather was the first Brando movie I saw and when I saw how he acts in real life I thought it was different person.
The greatest actor to walk this planet.
Laurence Olivier is the greatest actor in history. Brando was undisciplined, lazy,
+Thomas Reilly Olivier was overrated and a pompous arsehole, and as great as he was on stage, he never made it on screen.
+Thomas Reilly
Laurence Olivier excelled in an acting approach that was already well-established; Brando helped establishing an entirely new acting approach to film acting that influenced multiple actors for years to come.
And if you want to talk about one of the greatest actors in history, then I'm certain most theatre historians will mention David Garrick

1) The Godfather
2) A Streetcar Named Desire

I was too, but my name is Brandon. Thankfully it wasn’t Brando
Oh shit!
That's awful
I’m sure he would not have supported this act of cruelty to a child and would have implored your parents to name you John.
One fine actor!! Stanley is my favourite, but all these characters are so memorable because of his inmense talent
Stanley Kowalski 😏🔥😳 is one of my very FAVORITE characters by Brando as well! 😱😍🥵
that's why they say that in terms of movie acting, there's before Brando and after Brando
Brando had the best voice ever
Nah Morgan Freeman's voice is better
James Coburn for mine.
I think his voice sounds really effeminate actually. Best voice I think would be Richard Burton.
Marlon Brando
Jeremy iron
Al pacino
Morgan freeman
4 iconic voice
No
One of his most excellent performances that were not mentioned here was his first motion picture role in 1950 The men, he was just perfect in that role.
I'm proud to be named after this man.
I think Kurtz might be Brando's most artistically profound role.

My thought exactly. But people with no hearts dont understand
yes I agree with u
What was the point of him no accepting the Oscar and it did nothing it was just him getting the spotlight back on him in a controversial way

Greatest Actor Of All Time Ever In Movie History
I miss 'Reflections in a Golden Ee' He was incredibly brilliant and touching in this movie! Way ahead of his time...

Temperamental yes but this man was a damn good actor and an inspiration for so many men during his time.
He has got a very nice sound of voice...
no one can even compare to him, NO ONE.
De Niro
@@Gma00001 Nope, but at least you said De Niro and not DaNiEl DaY-LeWiS.
@@positional_play
Day Lewis is overrated and he can't touch de Niro lol
O! Marlon Brando...He was so handsome... He was talented and very charming. Real MAN.
OH! And he was fantastic as Fletcher Christian in Mutiny on the Bounty!!
Most amazing actor ever! And he was gorgeous!❤️❤️❤️
His role in The Men (1950) should have been on the list instead of the Score.
Yes!
Marlon was one of the most iconic actor. RIP Marlon thank you so many roles.
My all time favorite actor! He is the greatest At The Waterfront and Streetcar Named Desire are my favorites
Great list.... completely agree with it. Waterfront, Godfather and Streetcar could have been ranked 1A, 1B and 1C. To me they are all equally excellent.
BRANDO was the greatest actor of all time....period! I LOVE HIM.....Viva BRANDO!!
Franco Brando DDL?
The Protaganist
Not even close ... De Niro and Brando are by far better than him

Who ?

I know him. I’m cinephile man and I have watched thousands of movies.
I've watched movies in many countries, especially from India, Germany, Italy and France, Greece,etc.
Yeah he is good but he can’t touch the greatest Americans / English actors. He’s not even the greatest actor in India's history man. It’s a blaspheme to compare him to Brando and de Niro. 😛
sai srinivas
I have watched many,it’s not even close. He can’t touch Brando’s performances. Okay, you are from India, but clam down dude. You can’t compare Brando who changed the cinema with mohanlal. Jesus. Yeah and his roles was different but he acts similar...
Though its popular to refer to Brando and De Niro as Method actors. Method acting is associated with Lee Strasberg. Brando, however, was Stella Adler's protege and even lived with her and her husband Harold Clurman to work on his craft. She was strongly opposed to Lee Strasberg's method, which was based heavily on emotional memory. Her technique was more directly influenced by Stanislavski, whom she studied with in Paris. Stanislavski had experimented with emotional memory, but then rejected it. De Niro also studied with Stella, though not as her protege. By contrast, Al Pacino studied with Strasberg and obviously used his Method to great success. Strasberg too was a fine actor as can be seen in Godfather 2.
The world's greatest actor!!! Forever be remember..... Thank u godfather
Agreed! Marlon Brando is a talented man with a sophisticated accent and voice and forever shall be the Godfather!!!!!!!!!!!!
His performance in ‘On The Waterfront’ is the high watermark in acting in motion picture history.
He’s the greatest actor, Male or female in the history of cinema, silent and talkies.
No one will ever surpass him.
He’s the greatest there ever was, is or will ever be
He couldn't top stanly...
@@glenndrexler1677 who is stanley?
What the fuck? No The Waterfront #3?Should be #1.
*On
+Sheperd Egg56 I agree
Happy Birthday, Mr. Brando!Great genius of an actor!
He was amazing in guys and dolls, no matter what people will say about him not being a singer. For a non singer he does a great job and he is just so attractive and classy in it!
I love him for his role in Guys and Dolls.
Me, too. It's his greatest role.
i wish marlon brando could have play 007.He got the looks,style,charisma
@Teringventje He was considered to be too good to play 007,so someone suggested putting him in a movie as either 008 or 001-they put those 2 numbers forward because they weren't sure which of them would be seen by the general public as the number most superior to the number 007.
He was amazing and represented a type of man that you cannot find anymore, that certain style.
I loved him in "guys and dolls" it's my favourite movie. And the guy had some great singing chops ❤️
that's my mom's favorite too! 👍 of the one musical Marlon starred in 😁 *swoons* Sky Masterson 😍🔥🥵
I saw the first film Brando made, The Men and thought he was good but it was Brando's performance in a Streetcar Named Desire that blew me away. Phenomenal performance. You look at his landmark films: Streetcar, Zapata, Waterfront, Godfather, Tango, etc...it's easy to see why he's regarded as the greatest actor to have ever lived. I just wish he took acting seriously as he aged. So many great roles he passed on. I guess everyone has to carve out their own path in life. Still a great body of work by a great actor.
Yes, in other words, he showed how lazy and fat and self-consumed he was. Oh, and a rapist too.
TheWitchOvAgnesi you're pathetic
An incredible actor. A streetcar named desire and On The Waterfront are my favourites.
Guys and Dolls should definitely have been on there. He was amazing in that. My favourite actor of all time has to be Marlon Brando.
I'm embarrassed to say I've never watched Streetcar named Desire. Shame on me.
dandanaka don...please shut up...pretty sure you haven't seen a lot of films either..
avarmauk...definite recommend only for Brando's acting, the film in general wasn't really that great...Kazan's East of Eden is the best from him...IMO
avarmauk I hope you watch it, it's a great movie and he is ridiculously electrifying in it! :)
Me neither
It's been a year. So, have you seen it yet?
He's not one of the best. He's the best. His acting is still relevant today and looks wonderful and realistic on screen!!
He is great but after godfather didn't make a good movie.
dry white season should have been in the list.
he was nominated for Oscar for the role.
What I’ve Realized Is, If Marlon Brando Says Something, Or Wants Something, You Give It To Him, No Questions.
RIP Marlon Brando.
"The Men" (1950) should be on the list!
the greatest actor forever
The God Of Hollywood
luv him! Marlon's one of my favorite actors now! he was soo beautiful and talented! the first one I saw with him was Guys and Dolls just recently saw a streetcar named desire and my oh my I fell in love with him in that one! he was just like DROP DEAD GORGEOUS he was one of the most attractive men I've ever seen in my life 😏🔥🥵 I'm gonna watch the wild one soon!
Brando popularised biker jackets. He's a legend
When I was up in NYC just a few days ago I was going through Hell's Kitchen and walked by the old Actor's Studio building and the first thing I thought of was Brando in 'Streetcar', If I had a time machine I'd want to to see that premier with him in it on stage more than anything else. I just can't imagine the New York theatre and Broadway scene without him and the impact that he had on it.
I would DIE if I saw Marlon play Stanley on Broadway 😍🔥😱🥵 I 💖 him SOO much!
My fav Brando movie is The Appaloosa. A great performance by John Saxon too.
I will a;ways remember Brando in n best performance in On the Waterfront.
on the waterfront - timeless classic
