batshit crazy acting methods that would produce something that people would talk about.

If you limit it to one I’d say Streetcar, because he was cast in several similar roles at the time and that’s the one I remember. But it could just as easily be On the Waterfront or Wild Ones

I wouldn’t pick Godfather because while it’s the role I most associate with Brando, he didn’t do anything else like the role again except in bad movies like The Score and the Freshman, neither of which I’ve seen.

    - It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I don't think he was a fully-formed character in that movie? -- nm - Roger More May 24, 13:20 1
      - Some say he was the preview of Han Solo. But he was wearing a hat, which leads more to Indiana Jones. - Spawn May 24, 13:22
  - He could also have 2 as well. - JaxSean May 24, 11:52 1
    - I think it's more about their star persona and how that gets them cast in more movies. - Roger More May 24, 12:12
The Freshman is great -- nm - decline May 24, 10:43 4
- Godfather great, or Weekend at Bernie’s great? -- nm - Roger More May 24, 10:50 3
  - I'm not really seeing a difference here. A+! -- nm - Beryllium May 24, 10:50 1
    - I stand corrected - I just remembered it bombed. (Looking it up, it made less than Ghost Dad!) -- nm - Roger More May 24, 11:24
