The greatest actor that ever lived. I am watching To Kill a Mockingbird right now and ever line he gives is chilling. Such a legend.

He's good, maybe even top 5 of all time, but he's no Brando, Newman, or DeNiro. smile wink

It's my favorite book of all time. I try to read it at least once a year. You should see my old copy, I finally had to replace it. tongue

i agree that he's better than brando. that film is the best adaptation of a book i have ever seen. peck encompasses everything that makes up atticus finch. everything about that movie is perfect.

Certainly TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD was his best film; but "no DeNiro - Brando ..."
Dude, you have to check out his range: a smarmy racist rapist in DUEL IN THE SUN to a man one totally wishes one were in MOCKINGBIRD - Brando et. al should have had such a career. tongue

To Kill A Mockingbird
Roman Holiday
Omen, The
Guns of Navarone
Spellbound
Cape Fear
Boys from Brazil
How the West Was Won

- hes a the quinitincential hero but did a pretty good job playing a nazi trying to clone hitler's youth

Sorry, I have to agree with Niobe... Peck outshines Brando by far in my opinion!

Gregory Peck is surely a great actor. An actor whom I respect very much, Jack Nicholson, said in an article he wrote for Rolling Stone, actors don't discuss who the best is, because its obvious its Brando. Last Tango in Paris, The Godfather, On the Waterfront, Apocalypse Now, A Streetcar Named Desire, to name a few, he just has too many great performances to not be recognized as the best. That being said, Paul Newman is my favorite, but thats beside the point.

OK, I forgot about Spellbound. That was an awesome movie, but don't forget about On the Waterfront, The Wild One, and The Godfather. He had some of the most memorable performances of any actor. Shit, he was Vito Corleone. wink

I seriously think that his performance as Atticus Finch totally out weighs anything that Brando ever did. But that is just me.

but Brando has many more un-awesome movies to account for
these detract from his many a great role



i'll agree that brando could have been the greatest actor of all time (in theory, approach, and raw talent) - but he really picked some shitty roles
katherine hepburn and gregory peck arrely picked a $hitty movie

I think his performance in that movie just holds so much emotional value to you that it's always going to be above everything else, and that's fine. I felt the same way the first time I saw Citizen Kane my sophmore year of film school. The closing scene of that movie just kicks ass. But, I still have to say Brando as Vito Corleone is the shit.

DAMN, I thought everyone forgot about the Island of Dr. Moreau. Ok, that movie sucked. But, to his credit he was the first to start using method acting to get closer to his characters. And Katherine Hepburn did that shitty movie On Golden Pond, I know it won an Oscar but, hey other shitty movies have to. For example, Shakespeare In Love and Erin Brokovich. wink biggrin
