If you like him and Nicholson and westerns, you really need to see "The Missouri Breaks"
Missouri Breaks is OK but far from his best movie.
It was not O.K. It was much better than that. Superb casting, acting and cinematography. The only weak link was the same problem with any Hollywood production, they didn’t need Kathleen Lloyd or her character in that movie. Many a good movie would have been better without a leading lady.
Nicholson was great and Brando did a good job as Clayton, but Harry Dean Stanton who is often overlooked as a character actor was outstanding. A great movie that could have been greater but for the want of a woman in a movie best left to men...

Oh, best movie? My bad. I clearly misunderstood or misinterpreted your OP then. On the Waterfront was probably his best, purely from one person's perspective and opinion. And, as much disdain as you may have for the movie, The Missouri Breaks, his performance in it was excellent, in my opinion.

FiekldGrade: He (Marlon Brando) was indeed amongst the top best actors of all time! He turned arrogant and difficult later in life - so be that. But the fact he became a "rump Elk" later on diminishes him greatly, as a human, in my eyes. Among others he same sex diddled was Richard Pryor! That is sad. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy P.S.: I loved "Missouri Breaks" - but his greatest acting role was in "The Godfather".
