Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando, Karl Malden

Sony Pictures, 1998

A Richly Deserved Reputation
This is truly one of the American cinema's greatest films. A splendid cast, anchored by the breathtaking performance of Marlon Brando as Terry Malloy, gives it their passionate best with results that deserve accolades all around. A word about the political context of ...

Teahouse of the August Moon

Marlon Brando, Glenn Ford

MGM (Warner), 1998

Timeless, Wonderful Comedy
I don't think anyone who hasn't lived in Japan or Okinawa can truly 'get' this film. Having lived there for 3 1/2 years in the mid-80's, courtesy of the U.S. Navy, this is one of my all-time favorite fims, ever. It truly captures the warmth and intelligence of the ...

Missouri Breaks

Marlon Brando, Jack Nicholson

MGM (Video & DVD), 1997

underrated and sublime
saw this film the other night on cable, pan & scan sadly, and was utterly blown away. forget anything anyone has said about pacing, brando's over the top perf., the ending, just bask in the glow of one of the most literate and sophisticated scripts ever. the ...

Bedtime Story

Marlon Brando, David Niven

Universal Studios, 1994

Please movie studio, reissue this movie!
This movie, very unfortunately, is out of print. The only "brand new" DVD version of it that you can get is from some outfit out of England that made a pretty crappy copy of it, according to the reviews I read on Amazon UK. And by the way you can buy that version of ...

A Streetcar Named Desire

Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando

Warner Home Video, 1996

Vivien Leigh's performance among the 20th century's very best.
There is really not much one can add by way of commenting on the magnificence of Miss Leigh's performance here. Perhaps Mr. Williams said it best when he told her that she brought aspects of Blanche's character to the surface, that he, himself never imagined. That ...

Young Lions

Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift

20th Century Fox, 2002

A Fresh Look at WWII
All too often you watch a movie about WWII and it's a pretty one sided affair as we follow a group of angst ridden GI's as they fight the enemy and each other to save Democracy from the evil German fascists. But every now and again you get a film like the Young ...

Christopher Columbus: The Discovery (1992)

Marlon Brando, Tom Selleck

Warner Home Video, 1994

Watch for the Birds
C. Columbus: The Discovery DVD This movie is probably the most historically accurate film that I've seen, so far, on Christopher Columbus. Contrary to what you might have been taught in elementary school the intelligentsia did not think the world was flat. They ...

Appaloosa

Marlon Brando, Anjanette Comer

Universal Studios, 1996

Brando in Fury-And in a Furie.
Great Brando and from the director of 'The Ipcress file'. Thus more than the necessary 'Close ups' that we like so much. Why don't they make these movies anymore???

Guys & Dolls

Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons

20th Century Fox, 1993

BEGUILING !
This is the big, beautiful musical with the perfect casting. I didn't know that legendary Brando could do such wonderful performance in a movie such as this one--he really was a cinematic genius. Sinatra,equally talented, was not to be outstaged--he was hilarious! ...

Godfather 1 (Rmst Thx)

Marlon Brando, Al Pacino

Paramount, 1998

I'll make him an offer that he can't refuse
The GODFATHER DVD The God father is based upon Mario Puzo's novel of a Sicilian Family moved to the United States circa 1920's. Don Corleone goes into the olive oil business, what else would you expect? He soon learns that it is easier to make money on the wrong ...

Wild One

Marlon Brando, Mary Murphy

Sony Pictures, 1997

Classic
I bought this movie after reading that it depicts a moment in biker history when bikers got the bad boy image. It is a must see for anyone interested in the biker culture, and it is equally interesting to research the history that led to its making.

One-Eyed Jacks

Rodolfo Acosta, Philip Ahn

Edde Entertainment, 1994

One Eyed Jacks
I first saw this movie back in the early sixties and I still wonder why it was named "one eyed jacks"! There's no cards played in the whole movie! Other than that, it was still good and entertaining as it was back then. It was sort of the height of the western movie ...

Superman 1

Vass Anderson, Harry Andrews

Warner Home Video, 1992

R.I.P. Christopher Reeves.
Can there ever be another Superman. No. Reeves will always be the man of steel no matter how many times Hollywood tries to remake the movie. The acting is just so so. But we didn't see this movie for the acting. We saw it to see what Superman could do. What ...

Julius Caesar (1953)

Marlon Brando, James Mason

Warner Home Video, 2000

The spirit of the play brought to life
I have been raised on this play and saw many versions. I have had the real story pointed out to me and meaning behind many of the words explained. However it is this adaptation that brought it to life not just intellectually but emotionally. One of the first things ...

Here's Looking At You, Warner Bros.

Audrey Hepburn, Clint Eastwood

Warner Home Video, 1993

Wonderful look at Warners Brothers!
Great buy for any movie buff! Detailed and intersting look at the history of the studio that produced some of the most memorable movies in history! Personally, I bought it for BRANDO's early screen test - and it was worth it!!!! A must-have for every Brando fan! Also ...
