His beauty was insolent and his talent opened the doors of glory to him! The New York Times describes a man as "intense and intensely handsome", an "international star" courted by the greatest filmmakers of his time. "The most handsome man in the history of cinema", sums up the New Yorker. Before the age of 30, he had already worked with legendary directors. When he arrived somewhere, he took up all the space. Refusing to be called an comedian, he defined himself as an "actor" and said: "An actor is a vocation, a profession that is learned, it is a life choice. An actor is a personality, generally strong, taken and put at the service of cinema by a combination of circumstances. All of this is extraordinary and miraculous. ". No one will ever be able to claim to be like him. He was unique, singular, desperately solitary, an intense and intensely handsome man. The feline, the cheetah, the actor with the steely gaze, of an insolent and wild beauty with a sweet and carnivorous smile is extinguished. Thank you Mr. Delon!
Mélodie en sous-sol, 1963, with Gabin. Les Félins, 1964, with Jane Fonda. Le Clan des Siciliens, 1969, with Gabin and Lino Ventura. Le Guépard, 1963, with Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale. La Piscine, 1968, with Romy Schneider and Maurice Ronet. Borsalino, 1970, with Belmondo. Scorpio, 1976, with Burt Lancaster.
I agree with Melodie and Le Clan, but I'd add Purple Noon, Samourai, and farewell friend instead. For the top 5 beginners. Mi like la piscine and Scorpio a lot too, and the leopard, but they're for a specific audience, not everyone will like them. I also like rocco but again, it may not appeal to a lot of people. Borsalino imo I did not like
my top 10 is 1. purple noon (also my favorite film of all time) 2. any number can win 3. le samourai 4. swimming pool 5. l'eclisse 6. rocco and his brothers 7. mr.klein 8. le cercle rouge 9. the last adventure 10. the leopard. there is also the sicilian clan, indian summer, borsalino, tony arzenta (aka the og john wick) and many others but i'm already having a hard time placing my top 10. i think i've seen 30 or 40 of his film.
Make it eight. La Piscine is one of the best psychological dramas / thrillers ever. The ultimate maffia movie is not The Godfather. Marlon Brando, Al Pacino and James Caan? Jean Gabin, Lino Ventura and Alain Delon in Le Clan des Siciliens. This movie teaches the true meaning of cool. Fun bonus: Borsalino.

Delon was Ripley. I walked out on Damon’s portrayal because he wasn’t Ripley. He had no charisma at all and did not resemble Jude Law. Maurice Ronet and Delon could pass for each other. Delon was as I imagined from the books. I just watched “Rocco” and Delon was wonderful, as was Renato Salvatori. I think Delon became more handsome as he aged.
Personally disagree. He was great as Ripley but the later cast was better, in my opinion. Though I'd say the later adaptation was miles better than Plein Soleil overall.
Encomendei o Dvd Samurai e assisti no sábado.Um filme bom do Delon do diretor Rene Clement foi O Sol por Testemunha.Delon com o seu estilo marcante formou um combo de beleza e talento a serviço da Sétima Arte.O belo sorriso do Alain era genuíno,e os seus dois lados de perfil parece ter sido esculpidos pelas mãos de Deuses Olímpicos.
@@ahoovah2 I thought Delon was so moving in the Professor or otherwise known as Indian Summer. He's more beautiful when he's moving and vulnerable. He has that side too not just the cold and hard.
Some one said Delon was the worst actor... They missed the whole piont of Delon - he wasn't acting in his big ones. He wasn't an actor in the normal sense - he was just Delon. The best ( actor) I ever saw.
Good selection. I think the best years of Delon were the 60s-70s. In the 80s, he began making cop flicks and remained a prisoner of this image for a long time (the solitary vigilante). And I think the producer side of him was a nuisance for the actor side of him, IMHO.
@@marcl2213 And excellent films where he is not the lead actor like Les seins de glace, traitement de choc... Le cinéma français "premium" était d'une très très grande qualité...
@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 The hitmen and mafioso roles are in the few films that made it also to the anglo-speaking world (USA, UK, ...) He made so many films in french that had also an impact around the world except for the USA and UK "markets" which are only centered on english speaking productions. The films he did in english for Hollywood in the 60s are not good. It was such a clever good move from him to come back to french cinema.
A different type of Masculinity for the 60s he fitted those roles of the amoral loner type with his break through Purple Sun 1960 and French Ripley introversion. Hollywood couldn't do anything with him ( Yellow Rolls Royce)
Un Flic 1973 the final part of his Melville trilogy was my all time greatest no 1 film for 8 years. Replacing Goddard's Weekend 1967. Two great anti humanist directors who gave us proper cinema of the black pill during all that mini skirt nonsense!
Jessau's Armaguedon 1976 an absurd black drama sees Jean Yann ( the most p... off face in French cinema) seeking impossible revenge and celebrity against the world for a pathetic losers life. Delon plays the hackneyed middle class psychiatrist who profiles him a venal self parody of himself and his more glamorous roles its subtle total mockery of professional class mediocrity is a rarity in the Delon canon. Delon being Mr average is a laugh 😂

Borsalino
La piscine
Le samouraï
Le cercle rouge
Le guépard
Plein soleil
Masterpiece❤❤❤❤❤
Good selection, but I would add La Piscine 1968, Le Guepard 1963
He was so handsome.omg. R.I.P sir Love from Vietnam
most beautiful man ever walked in this planet
Totally agree
These 6 films made him a cinematic icon: his mesmeric looks and acting were in a special amalgam.
Le clan des Siciliens. A must watch too.
Delon played Delon in all his movies but with his look and his minimal dialogue he is one of the best looking actors ever. RIP

I still have a soft spot for Borslino
Yes, yes, yes!!!!
One of the best gangster and revenge films ever!!!
@@vitoscaletta3886 Absolutely!
Haven’t seen it for God knows how many years. Just ordered the Blu-ray and don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about getting a film.
@@johnradovich8809 Let me know if it still holds up for you.

To compare Matt Damon s ' version to Delon's is laughable. Delon's Purple Moon is a Masterpiece.
Alain Delon forever!
🇺🇦 ❤❤❤
He is extremely famous here in France but until now I didn’t realize how popular he was worldwide, that is crazy
VIVE ALAIN DELON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big Gun and Big Knives Action movies of Alain Delon !
These movies are amazing they should English dub them!
It also the Beginner's Guide of Handsomeness.
good selection!
I loved Plein Soleil.
La Piscine should have been included
So many more should have been included...... La veuve Couderc, Le clan des Siciliens etc.........
La piscina e il Gattopardo ❤??

thank you. someone who finally gets it. the great actors do not act. they just are.
Il manque pour moi un septième film : Les félins de René Clément avec Jane Fonda.
et Deux hommes dans la ville.
@@delphinel4984 Pas encore vu.
Mr. Kline!
Parole de flic! Ne réveillez pas un flic qui dort! Un flic! Flic story! Soleil Rouge, super cult!
I enjoyed the older grey haired more weatheref Delon.
Me too.

In the 70s he produced good and excellent films... Le gang, le gitan, Attention les enfants regardent, etc
@@jandron94 True. If I had to see films I missed I think I would select them before 1980.
@@marcl2213 And excellent films where he is not the lead actor like Les seins de glace, traitement de choc...
Le cinéma français "premium" était d'une très très grande qualité...
I agree. Too many hitmen and mafioso films, although some were masterpieces.

It's pronounced "Luquino" Viscont with a "k" as in cold. What a faux pas!
If France got Alain Delon,US had Don Johnson!
Can't possibly compare them.
He should’ve played Jaimès LeBonde
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

God-awful AI commentary. Write your own, it would be so much better and less pretentious, and also less prone to errors.
