To me, There never will be an actor as great as Marlon Brando. I loved all his films , but my favorites are : Mutiny on the Bounty, The Godfather, The Wild One, Sayonara, Superman, and One Eyed Jacks. Out of all these my number one favorite is : The Godfather !
My favorite Brando movies: 10. One Eyed Jack 9. Morituri 8. Sayonara 7. On the Waterfront 6. Streetcar Named Desire 5. Julius Cesar 4. A Dry White Season 3. Burn 2. Fugitive Kind 1. Guys and Dolls
Marlon Brando defined what actors now call acting. He wasn't afraid to bare his soul on camera and just let loose. His style of training albeit only a year, was the actor is in charge of his or her performance. He felt learning lines of dialogue was to redundant and hindered the actors ability to give a natural, realistic, performance. Unfortunately, his disdain for the show "business" side of it all ruined his desire for acting. He used & often abused the very system that he felt used & abused not only him, but that of how minorities are portrayed on film. He was woke decades before it was a thing. Like most in show business, he developed a "brat-like" attitude towards filmmakers, co-stars, & producers. He could have been an inspiration for generations to come but understand he didn't think of acting, or as he called it lying, as a respected trade for an adult male. He hated talking about his movies and felt the time should be spent discussing treatment of minorities in Hollywood.
He should have spent an equal amount of time righting the wrongs and for the huge debre he left behind him in his professional and personal life. His family's destruction has no equal. Including many sexual affairs with Male Hollywood stars.
I once heard a speech by Tippi Hedren in which she talked about how much of a jerk he was on the set of A Countess in Hong Kong. The director Charles Chaplin had to threaten him with legal action to shut him up.
You don't understand the times he started in film and if someone didn't speak up change wouldn't happen and a light wouldn't have been shown in that industry. He wasn't woke, as you call it, he was trying to achieve civil rights for his fellow actors that were not allowed to drink at the same water fountain as him or eat a meal with him. It was a time when Pima Indian stories in a film called 'The Outsider' were told by white actors in dark makeup such as Tony Curtis for just one example ( an excellent btw). Don't put today's thinking on history. Brando was a revolutionary in acting and as a humanitarian and of course his white co-workers would think he was a nuisance back then, he didn't follow his racial protocol and beliefs but because of him method acting is the standard and Hollywood has opened doors for minorities. There are no actors now who would do what he did.
I always loved Marlon Brando best in The Godfather (1972) which him an Academy Award for Best Actor. I also liked him in Julius Caesar (1953), On the Waterfront (1954; won an Oscar for Best Actor), Guys and Dolls (1955), Superman (1978) and The Score (2001).
Can't believe only one comment here mentioned "On The Waterfront"! This film is IMHO two things: Brando's greatest performance, and one of the greatest films ever made, period!
When I saw Brando in One-Eyed Jacks at 14 years old, I walked home from the theater almost in a trance. I had seen many movies and good actors before, but I had never seen a performance like he gave in that movie. I went to see all the movies he made before Jacks (which he also directed). I won't say much more except that your video left out other great movies and performances: his first time on film, The Men; Viva Zapata! should be in the top 10; Teahouse of the August Moon; The Young Lions, where he plays a WWII German officer, German accent accent and all, and Free Money, in which he uses a Swedish accent. The most brilliant American actor of all time!!! 🤣
Some of the obvious essential films are in the list…but Superman.? Guys and Dolls? The Score? No way….Dry White season ,Viva Zappata ,Burn to mention a few superior films
Brando’s Sky Masterson’s “Luck Be A Lady” in Guys and Dolls is a performing art of the highest caliber, arousing waves of contrasting pathos of hope and fear and vulnerability as he covered bets on the ground in the most mesmerizing masculine song-and-dance of controlled aggression. Never has there been anything like it on film, a tough guy’s heartbreaking fight for the love of his life, with heart and wallet laid on the line, riding on a single roll of the dice. That, and the fact that he’s the ultimate eye candy, singing and dancing and romancing the lovely Jean Simmons, should catapult “Guys and Dolls” to #1 of Brando’s greatest movies.
Funny how he looks so much younger in 1972’s Godfather than in 1944’s Don Juan DeMarco. Also, apparently Johnny Depp IS a vampire if he’s been alive that long…
I agree, neither that movie nor Apocalypse Now should have been included. They're good performances, but they don't show him exploring different parts of a character.
The last actor to revolutionize and truly change acting was Marlon Brando, you can literally divide the way people act in movies pre and post Brando, before him everyone out on these fake movie accents and nobody acted like a real person, Brando brought realism to the screen
Julius Ceasar Burn On the waterfront The Young Lions Teahouse of the August Moon Superman Streetcar Mutiny on the Bounty Reflections in a golden eye The Godfather
So many put “ The Godfather” on their list. There were others who auditioned for the role. The producers were skeptical with Brando. His age and his difficulty to work with certain directors. But Francis Ford Coppola insisted on Brando. He stated this : I don’t even have to Audition him. He IS the GODFATHER. Without him, I won’t direct to movie. Coppola got his Brando. Another conflict was James Caan who wanted the role of Michael. But after auditioning Al Pacino just once, the role went to Pacino and Caan came in second with the role of Sonny.
Many felt Michael and Brando should had been nominated for Best actor. Brando won of course but refused the Award. Pacino was nominated for Best actor in Godfather 2. He lost to Art Carney for some unknown movie. Which was a travesty. They gave it to Carney for sentimental reasons. He was old and probably would never be nominated again. He wasn’t. Pacino was young with other chances to win. He did with Scent of a Woman “. Which in my opinion was no where near the caliber of The Godfather status. ( been reading a lot about this film I never knew. Lots of books out there about it due to its 50th year Anniversary).
@@JmadiRN Coppola still made Marlon do a screen test for Vito Corleone but he didn't tell him that. He said it was just some test shots. He still had to convince the studio Brando would be on his best behavior and that he still had "it".
I like The Young Lions too. Very subtle performance, especially how he plays off of Maximillian Schell. The only thing I didn't like was his overly dramatic death at the end.
Creo que en la película el zalvage no actuo el era asi cuando joven rebelde i en la pelicula el último tango tanpico actuo el era asi a esa edad cuarentona en cuanto en el papel en superman i en el papel del padrino si actuo Marlon brando jejejeje
I think he's a tad overrated. His movies are rarely played on TV apart from the god father. A contemporary Paul newman made way better movies and the classics he made are always being played on TV. Those early movies brando made are very dated. Not a popular opinion but an honest one.
I think Marlon Brando is one of the most over rated actors ever. I just don't see why people think he's one of the best actors. he's just not believable in his roles IMO. Maybe bc he comes from an era where acting was "over acted" and overly dramatic, which is why i dont like old movies from anytime before the 70's, mainly the 80's. I just never saw what the big deal was with him, like, at all. I think he was pretty good in Apocalypse Now and The Godfather, thats mainly it for me.
@@radhebhai8997 Yeah don't watch marvel at all, but keep getting aggravated about someone on the internet who has an opinion different from yours. Pretty comical, and also there are WAAAYYY better actors out there. I also noticed u edited ur comment, must've took u a while to come up with that brilliant retort.

Agreed with the list. Mutiny on the Bounty was superb... Godfather too.. classic
My favorite movies are streetcar named desir, on the waterfront and the fugitive kind the young lions ,the wild ones
Brando's greatest role was The Wild One.
My favorite Brando movies:
10. One Eyed Jack
9. Morituri
8. Sayonara
7. On the Waterfront
6. Streetcar Named Desire
5. Julius Cesar
4. A Dry White Season
3. Burn
2. Fugitive Kind
1. Guys and Dolls
One-eyed Jacks is ALSO one of my favorite Marlon Brando flicks. A late 1950s classic western also starring Karl Malden.

Legendary actor all time❤
' The Wild One ' and ' The Men. ' Much, much better than some of the blockbusters he made later. And what about ' The Chase ? '
He is superman of acting
Father of Hollywood❤️💥
I had no idea "Don Juan DeMarco" was a period piece. Amazing how such a romantic film could come out in the middle of WWII.
And the cinematography was half a century ahead of it time.
The wild one her iconic character
The Wild One and The Men should be included
Besides being a great, charismatic actor, he's also eye candy, absolutely GORGEOUS xx
Agreed. Especially as Sky Masterson in "Guys and Dolls."
I always loved Marlon Brando best in The Godfather (1972) which him an Academy Award for Best Actor. I also liked him in Julius Caesar (1953), On the Waterfront (1954; won an Oscar for Best Actor), Guys and Dolls (1955), Superman (1978) and The Score (2001).

Wild one!!!
A tie between Guys and Dolls, A Streetcar Named Desire and The Godfather!
I'm a big fan of The Wild One
All my favourites
U missed the Wild one, The fugitive kind and.... The men. 💪🏻🎃
👍👍👍
Apalooza. Reflections in Golden eyes.
A streetcar named desire should have been number 1
Boy you will fall for him hard 💋
👍👍👍
Steercar The word is all rape
I mean another movie

Talented, and sooo handsome 😜😜
The godfather is the best
Hollywood Mr Marlon Brando
Indian film industry Mr Sivaji Ganesan
Both were great
Once in a blue moon
Thank you!
There's a little mistake in this video though... Don Juan DeMarco is for 1994 but you said it's for 1944.
Still. thank You!
I'm guessing The Godfather and Superman The Movie were his biggest box office draws.📽🎬💰💰
Awesome list! Just one correction, “Don Juan de Marco”, was not made in 1944. It is from 1995.
How is The Score in the 10 but not Zapata?
Funny how he looks so much younger in 1972’s Godfather than in 1944’s Don Juan DeMarco. Also, apparently Johnny Depp IS a vampire if he’s been alive that long…
Nah the wild one was the best one
9:50 well, he was quite old in 1944 :))
Speaking of The Godfather, could you also do the top 10 Talia Shire movies 🎥, please 🙏?
Apocalypse Now was a Great one
What the fuck does superman do in that list?
I agree, neither that movie nor Apocalypse Now should have been included. They're good performances, but they don't show him exploring different parts of a character.

Are you mad?? 9:50, this movie came in 1994.
LOL! Noticed the same thing.
Ya, it's written 1944
Don Juan De Marco was 1994 not 1944
I think we all guessed what number 1 would be.
The God Father
James Mason was much better in Julius Caesar. Brando's performance was mostly a novelty. Mason's performance was true acting.
Julius Ceasar
Burn
On the waterfront
The Young Lions
Teahouse of the August Moon
Superman
Streetcar
Mutiny on the Bounty
Reflections in a golden eye
The Godfather

According to the TCM Leading Men book, he was a real Johnny Appleseed.

I think 1999
Bedtime story
I only have watched The Godfather
You’ll really enjoy On The Waterfront.
@@pauldavies5611 ohh okay, thank for the reference.
@@linairawati8396 You’re welcome. I think you’ll really like it.
Almost Brad Pitt
What? Brad Pitt? You are comparing marlon brando to brad Pitt. Are you okay? Marlon is divine a piece of God.
Please show the actual actor when you say the actor's name not some random cast member.
Creo que en la película el zalvage no actuo el era asi cuando joven rebelde i en la pelicula el último tango tanpico actuo el era asi a esa edad cuarentona en cuanto en el papel en superman i en el papel del padrino si actuo Marlon brando jejejeje
Totally ruined by your audio being way off.
GF and Don Juan.
Was a very good actor, also was Jew, and that in rotten hollywood is a must to succes.
He didn’t believe in religion
He was German ..
He was also Bi-sexual. But who cares. He was still the greatest actor ever.
I think he's a tad overrated. His movies are rarely played on TV apart from the god father. A contemporary Paul newman made way better movies and the classics he made are always being played on TV. Those early movies brando made are very dated.
Not a popular opinion but an honest one.
