Single GREATEST movie of all time

Probably because, like most others here, you dont know about acting.
And you´re viewing The Godafther in such a way because, hey, it´s a guy-movie´.
Its got mobstas in it. And lots of quotable shit.

The truth is, his portryal in that movie is ridiculously sloppy and lazy when compared to his role as Paul in ´Last Tango In Paris´:

That is true acting - letting out the whole range of emotions.
Fucking insane piece of acting.



And, he conspired with director Bernado Bertolucci to ´rape´ his co-star actress, Maria Schneider.

Well done, Marlon! :bears:

 

You're confusing a more volatile, insecure character with better acting

 

Aye

 

No Im not, Im stating that he got the Oscar for The Godfather because it had a lot to do with his ´comeback´.
He was utterly at ease with himself, a blase lack of concern or artistic integrity.
Brando was an amazing actor when he actually cared or was bothered about the material and tried: with Last Tango In Paris, he had a great script, great Director, and delivered great acting.

More movies better than The Godfather:

Chinatown
The Excorcist
A Clockwork Orange
Apocalypse Now

 

Sorry, no. The fucking Excorcist???? You're just engaging in contrarian masturbation at this point

 

Okay, but its still a great movie.

Actually, Id say The Conversation probably edges The Godfather, too.

 

Last Tango is a tragic bore.

......and the "rape" part was taken out of context by lookie loos and ne'er-do-wells..........................................................but you knew that already. :nono:

 

Yeah, I know.

On both your points.

 

Anyway, its a toss-up between:

 

Beethoven.

Raiders of The Lost Ark!!

How could I forget. Up there for sure and I don't give a fuuuuuuuck who doesn't agree.

 

A great old fashioned action/adventure movie for sure...just a shame the others were shit.

 

Yeah the others were not up to par at all. That first one was great from start to finish.

 

I like temple of doom best by far. Magic indian underground temples and crocodiles and monkey brains. Whole thing is 5 star. It's like nightmare but you not wake up from nightmare. I pray to shiva let me die

 

...and the utterly irritating screaming little Jap throughout.

 

Temple of Doom was entertaining for sure....but the first film was pure class.

 

Another movie that hasnt been mentioned - JFK - a staggering piece of cinema.

 

Hes the best!

 

:: :: That film was the shit, the evil vet was an underrated movie villain ::

 

Haven't seen it since I was about 6 but 'music magpie' always deliver promptly. :bears:

 

Okay, it was well-made and keeps you into it throughout.....regardless of how you feel Stone gives off his theories....

 

JFK was a well-made movie even if it really alters facts for entertainment.

He was a little annoying, not too bad for me, but Kate Capshaw was one of the most annoying characters ever.

 

thin red line is great. but not goat.

 

The Thin Red Line vs Saving Private Ryan

 

Enter The Dragon!! Another one I forgot. Damn...I may need to revise my top 10 list

 

true, but I think it serves a good purpose- having the pampered, spoiled damsel in distress amplifies how fucked up the situations are....she's a good foil for indy and the setting

 

TTRL, obviously.

 

I prefer Thin Red Line for re-watchability, but have no problem with anybody who says Saving Private Ryan. They're both great movies.
