don't appreciate him.
The Wild Ones: influenced an entire generation of men; you can be tough AND show some emotion was the message many caught.
Streetcar Named Desire: he burst to stardom from his performances in the play--- and the film!
The Men: he shows his range.
Waterfront: you don't appreciate this? Kind of like scoffing at the Sistine Chapel...one can only scratch one's head at such an opinion.
Last Tango: you're around the same age...you don't "get it?"
Missouri Breaks: he showed a sense of humor, while still making a vicious character odious.
Viva Zapata and One-Eyed Jacks: even in flawed films, he is memorable.
Godfather: who else could have commanded such presence?
Apocalypse: overrated film. His performance was the only outstanding component---"the horror..."
You could see him in "Bedtime Story" and realize his gift for comedy.
I know you won't appreciate "The Ugly American" for obvious reasons, but he is quite "polished" in it.
