Which is his best performance?

Streetcar wouldn't be what it is today if Brando hadn't brought his Stanley Kowalski performance from Broadway to the silver screen.

Superman

I voted for The Godfather (1972), but he has other great films like:

A streetcar named desire
Apocalypse Now
Last Tango in Paris
On the Waterfront

etc...

Definitely On The Waterfront.

The Island of Dr. Moreau

On the Waterfront followed closely by The Godfather.

Never saw Streetcar.

This is difficult. On the Waterfront and The Godfather are two of my favorites.

I choose......

I voted for Streetcar Named Desire

to his amazing career

RIP Marlon Brando

sadly, the only thing i have seen him is is superman and godfather 1 (haven't watched either in a while), so i was thinking of what are his best performances?

The Freshman.

You know, I understand this is subjective and all, but there is NO WAY that Don Corleone stands up to Kowalski or Terry Malloy.

I voted Malloy (cause it's my favorite Brando film), but in retrospect, it is assuredly Kowalski!

DeNiro was better than Brando in The Godfather saga (no mean feat, but still....)

In all honesty, I believe The Godfather was not in the top 5, which all were filmed before 1962. (Waterfront, Streetcar, Wild One, Young Lions, Mutiny)

but he was just reprising his role as the Godfather.

"..I could of been a contender"

On The Waterfront

For me it's Streetcar Simply an amazing performance.

Has to be "Streetcar." His performance in that really revolutionized screen acting from that moment on. Even though the focus of the story is on Vivien Leigh's Blanche character (she won Best Actress!), every time Brando's Stanley Kowalski appears on screen, the film becomes even more electric. A performance so ahead of its time. Hard to believe it was a performance that conveyed such sexuality, animal magnetism and raw, naked emotional power.......and, it came out in 1951! I just watched the film last night in tribute, and Brando's performance is even more amazing than I remember. He should have won the Oscar for this role. He lost,btw, to Humphrey Bogart in "The African Queen" (good, solid acting, but not in this same league).

Last Tango in Paris

Guys And Dolls

Last Tango in Paris, the scene at his wife's casket alone is enough.

On the Waterfront was my fave...closely second is Godfather, of course.

The Godfather

Last Tango in Paris

The Godfather.

On the Waterfront, my favorite movie of his, and one of my favorite movies ever.
