It's been quite some time since I watched his performances (besides the recent experience with I Confess!), but my memory is that of involving screen presence... which is to say I love his acting and soft manners, but beyond Judgement at Nuremberg and From Here to Eternity I don't have clear recollection at the moment. I think I also recall Stazine Termini, but should probably do a refresh at this time.
Follow Ups:
"Red River "was the best I can recall of. He was an " acting " actor.
How about Kazan´s "Wild River", Huston´s "The Misfits" (ah, Marilyn...), Mankiewicz´s "Suddenly Last Summer", Dmytryk´s "The Young Lions", Zinnemann´s "From Here to Eternity"...?He was in good company in those films, too.

Well I cited the one I like the most.
As for kazan, I have a big problem...I considere him not very hightly and you know why.
wanted him to bash Shirley Winters. What a brave actress to play that role and the Mom in "Lolita."
Are you talking about the George Stevens film with Clift and Winters?That would be "A Place in the Sun".
I remember reading a review that said, "George Stevens found that there was something in Shelley Winters that made every man that met her want to choke her to death, and succeeded in bringing that up to the surface."
And the 17-year-old (at the time of filming) Elizabeth Taylor!
"Tell Mama. Tell Mama all."
Oh my goodness!
And of course, Clift was very good in "Suddenly Last Summer", based on the Tennessee Williams play, with Katharine Hepburn and again, Elizabeth Taylor.
If you have not read Patricia Bosworth's 1978 biography of "Montgomery Clift" I suggest you take a look at it. He was an actor who enjoyed putting himself deep into the warp and woof of the material. His work in "The Misfits" is a fine example of that.
