Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

That's a lot. I have Butterfly 8 and Treasure of the Sierra Madre on hold at HBO Max. I still haven't been in the mood to watch any classic movies since the last time I watched Rebel Without a Cause and East of Eden.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

those james dean movies 4 really good. i like east of eden a little better. i luv old movies.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

I really enjoyed East of Eden. I think his performance seemed more fresh than Rebel Without a Cause.

I loved the part where he faces off with his father. He's swinging in the tree swing and his father asks him where his brother is. And he says "I dunno. I'm not my brother's keeper."
The directing is amazing in that film.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

it really is. i think dean showed more depth in that than rebel and giant.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

I think he was type cast as the bad boy and then just chose more films playing characters with no depth. Mysterious and bad. East of Eden proved to me that James could actually act. And he reminds me so much of Brad Pitt too.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

that's an interesting view. yeah i see the brad pitt thing. i bet had dean lived he would have riveled brando. brando got to be 1 dimensional at 1 point but he did have some memorable performances.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

I can see the Brando similarities especially in their voices. But I'd have to watch Streetcar again to see if there are more similarities between Brando and Dean.

If Dean lived, I think he would have been more of an icon.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

i agree.

have u seen brando in reflections in a golden eye? elizabeth taylor was in it and so was julie harris and brian keith. it wasn't a better known brando movie but i think he was good in it.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

Yes I think I did with my mom. She watches a lot of classic Hollywood movies. I'm always impressed with Brando except in a few things he did like that movie remake he made with Val Kilmer. I think in that movie, he deliberately screwed it up out of spite.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

he was funny in the freshman doing a parody of don carleone.

Re: Nostalgia Movie Thread. What did you watch this week?

I never saw that one. But the movies I have seen Marlon Brando in, I'm usually in awe of the effort he puts into his craft and how easy and natural his acting appears.
