Someone told me yesterday that he died... but I thought it was just a rumor.

 

He was great. Certainly a unique individual.

I thought he died when Krypton blew up...

 

Seriously though...the guy was the actors actor...I enjoyed many of his movies over the years....

[OldGuy]

I loved him in Apocalypse Now. RIP

[Red Hook]

The horror.....the horror!

 

I salute you Marlon! Sorry to see you go!

Although his career was not as notable as it was earlier in his career, he is still worthy of being recognized as a great actor.

 

Sad to hear of his passing.

RIP Marlon Brando. Long live The Godfather. I'm having a Godfather Trilogy movie get together this weekend to pay homage to one of the greatest actors to grace the silver screen. This is truly a sad day for us all.

[Red Hook]

I'm watching Apocolypse Now in the corner of my computer screen. The Godfather will be broken out this weekend.

Ap. Now is one of the greatest movies ever made. Brando was brilliant (despite being a major pain in FFC's [!@#%^&^] during the production). He nailed the essence of the Kurtz character from the Conrad book.

 

Of course, the Godfather is a classic as well.

 

My favorite Brando performance though, was his turn as Stanley K. in "A Streetcar Named Desire". It's like Williams wrote that role specifically for him.

 

RIP Marlon Brando.

He was a contender...

[Red Hook]

As a kind of later gracenote to his career I liked the parody he did of his role in Godfather in "The Freshman". To me it showed a great sense of humor and playfulness, just in his willingness to reprise one of his greatest roles and poke a little fun at himself.

I'm only familiar with his latter performances, but its sad to see him go.

[COI]

On the Waterfront, The Godfather, and Apocalypse Now are 3 of the greatest movies to ever come out of Hollywood. It's a shame that, in the last 20 years, he seems to have been largely forgotten. He was also one of the last of a generation of great actors, and he will be missed.

And THE WILD ONE. I first saw that as a pre-teenager on television and it impressed me even at that age.

And THE WILD ONE

 

That was on AMC a few weeks ago and I was lucky enough to catch it!

"STELLA!!!"

Well I'm glad they let this OT remain. I learned that Ray Charles and now Marlon Brando died from this comic board.

Marlon Brando, James Dean and Montgomery Cliff - three actors who set the film world on it's ear. now, all gone - sad...........and for those who only knew Brando as a tubby in later life, grab a copy of Streetcar Named Desire and see what a Stud he was in his younger years.......

[supapimp]

He was a contender...

 

instead of a bum

[s-man]

He was made an offer, he couldnt refuse....RIP
