In Reply to: My favorite Marlon roles. posted by tinear on July 03, 2004 at 05:59:07:
It's true that his last years were not spent resting on the laurels, and his virtual f.u. to Hollywood did not lend him on the pedestal that he deserved, but I can't think of any bad performances in his career, even though the movies he acted in since, say Apocalypse were not something to write home about.
So any Brando will go for me, but I won't be unique - Last Tango is perhaps my favorite.
His performance in that film is a pinnacle of the art form known as acting.If we drop all pretenses, he was the best American film actor, bar none.

preferable to watching most actors in their best roles.
Kind of like listening to Horowitz: sure, he was "better" with some kinds of composers, but even his "failures" were brilliant ones.
