I've never seen The Godfather. I guess I should go watch it now. What I *have* seen of Brando though, he was great. An unfortunate circumstance. I'm curious to see what the cause of death is though - it does seem quite od that just a day or two ago it came out that he was millions in debt.

You *must* see it. Like others said, it is one of, if not THE greatest movie EVER made. I like the latter films in the trilogy even more--Michael's descent into darkness in II and his repentance in III. Such an incredible series of films.

brando was a great actor who turned into an unfornate joke later in his life. I prefer to think of him in his better roles than say... dr. moreau

to those of you who posted links to articles and ACTUALLY QUOTED THEM... thank you. Sometimes I wonder if some people will ever catch on...

once the best actor under the sun, my first movie was The Street Car named Desire, I was a literature major at the time, Brando was a awesome, Vivian Lee is seductive...

I am sorry to hear that he was not well near the end, just like the King, who still performed for 20,000 people several weeks before his death.

May the God Father rest in peace

I was sad to hear about his death...

I dunno, it seems to me that all the great actors are ones that are passing away as I grow older. How many years will it be until I will have to face the fact that Jack Nicholson is a mortal as well?

Is there an actor these days that's less than 40 years old that you could call a "great" actor? What, Ben Stiller? Adam Sandler? Jack Black?

Pffffft. Even Tom Cruise must be at least 40 by now, and although I like him I'd be far pushed to call him a great actor...

nope, not many left that would be considered great. Clint Eastwood, maybe-he's 75

I didn't quote the link I posted because I felt that it wasn't necessarily pertinent to the specific discussion of the thread - it was info about Brando but certainly not a tribute, and I didn't want it to seem disrespectful...
