    He always struck me as kind of a creep, although, these days he seems politically and socially very cool, Anyway, good luck finding a performance of his that is less than than great!

    To see him in a movie is different than in just one of these clips on youtube or somewhere. He really was very special.

    I think he gets overlooked a little because of the westerns, but before the westerns and in his westerns he really was a great actor.

    To fully appreciate her it helps to see her in a silent. Many silent actors overacted, something about playing to the back of the theatre and being from the stage, but she could be quite subtle and marvelous.

    Well, he was Garfield and they all stole from him, Brando, through Deniro. garfield was first and better. Also in his short life and career his changed it up, he did not do the same things over and over. (no offense deniro).

    She is too good for a bunch of her movies (you know, studio would be studios)). I think that is why she retired, but before that she did great work in, "Detective Story," and "Escape From Fort Bravo," to name just two.

    Worked mainly in, "Bs" partly by choice. He is underated now, but I do not think he was when he was making movies in the 30s and 40s.

    Always underated. Considered to play the Godfather, but thought to not be a big enough star by then. I like Brando, I just think Conte would have been a better choice because Brando played it a little like a cartoon charactor (now you hate me.
