On the Waterfront is one of the most important, influential films made. Because of what Marlon Brando did, the landscape of acting had been forever changed. There are many outstanding scenes, but the greatest of them all is the taxicab scene. It's as good as acting will ever be. A remarkable scene is when Brando played with Eva Marie Saint's glove after it was accidentally dropped, which happened for real, and just carried on with the conversation as if it's no big deal.

There's no The Godfather without Marlon Brando. After appearing in so many flops in a row, he made the greatest comeback of his career. But first, he had to screen test for it because the men in charge wouldn't allow any discussion of him appearing in the film. And the rest was history including a refused Oscar for Best Actor. Some of the lines by Brando's character are legendary such as "I'm gonna make him an offer that he can't refuse."

A Streetcar Named Desire is a landmark picture in terms of acting. Take a delicate, pretty flower. It's all about "oh, darling," "precious things," and the likes. Now, enter an animal with his greasy paws to tear it all up and smashes everything into pieces. That's precisely what happened between Blanche DuBois and Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire, a fast, furious film that would change acting forever.

"I love the smell of napalm in the morning." That's what Apocalypse Now is about: the exploration of insanity in the journey toward the heart of darkness. Sometimes, I think it's about the deterioration of Marlon Brando's mind. He has some of the best lines of the film such as "You're an errand boy, sent by grocery clerks, to collect a bill" and "The horror...the horror..."

Burn! finally brings out the best in Marlon Brando, and when he gives a superlative performance, the film is elevated to another level. Brando even admitted he did his best acting ever. It provides an excellent insight into colonialism and how a banana republic can be formed for a Central American country.

Move over, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels...this is the original: Bedtime Story. David Niven is Michael Caine, and Marlon Brando is Steve Martin. The story is the same except for the ending which is completely different. The script is genius, that's for sure. Far better than Steve Martin, Marlon Brando is funny while his acting is somewhere between On the Waterfront and The Godfather. Do you know why? It's because he mastered the art of comedic timing.

The Wild One is a historical movie because it was influential in starting the trend of outlaw biker gangs, black leather wear, and sideburns. Marlon Brando is very good-looking in his outfit. Unfortunately, he got so attached to Johnny Strabler's persona that he would demonstrate mightily for the rest of his life, marking the downfall of a supremely talented actor.

It took over ten hours of waiting to see Marlon Brando, and when it's time for him to speak, he's brilliant, hence the Emmy win for Best Supporting Actor. How Brando got cast is that, because of Roots' success, he simply made a phone call out of the blue and asked for a small yet memorable part. It's certainly right on the money for these two adjectives.

It's perhaps the most infamous film of Marlon Brando's oeuvre by having become infatuated with the island Tahiti, purchasing an atoll for himself, and taking one of the residents as his third wife: Tarita Teri'ipaia. It would take him ten years to restore his respectability when he appeared in The Godfather. What I love about Marlon Brando in Mutiny on the Bounty is his sensitivity.

Believe it or not, Marlon Brando is actually in top form as Peter Quint, the way he moves and looks. It's that there isn't much of screen time allocated for him. To be fair, it's hard to take eyes off Marlon Brando whenever he appears. The first hour goes well, and he's a good raconteur. The actor has one nice scene when he's seen running out the woods to catch up with the carriage for small talk.
