"The Ugly American." Who else would have had the courage to act in this movie when the stench of McCarthy was still floating around? An excellent performance in a most interesting movie---still pertinent for those who wonder why we're not loved in Iraq.
"Bedtime Story:" Brando could do comedy, quite brilliantly; and this while playing opposite the exquisite David Niven.
"One-eyed Jacks:" Still a most interesting Western, with Brando showing he could do "tough," without irony.
"The Chase:" a searing portrait (yes, it was an allegory) of a man standing up against an entire town.
"Mutiny on the Bounty:" a great and underappreciated blockbuster. His performance rests on his genius of portraying Mr. Fletcher as a fop who comes of age---thereby earning the respect of his men (compare this to Charlton Heston's leaden performances in "Ben Hur," or "El Cid").
Brando could portray bravery and honesty better than any actor of his generation because he embodied those traits.
The greatest screen actor of his generation, or any other.
