Don't trust you mind -- this is the age of the internet.
Pick a star, find them in IMDB, and look at their film credits sorted by
rating. If you assume (like I do) that anything rated 8 or above is a truly
great film, I think you will be surprised at what you find.

I have long held to the idea that if a big-name actor has 3 truly great films
to his/her credit, then he/she is doing very well. I know, it doesn’t sound
like much but if you play this game, pick at random a big star(not your
favorite though, because then you’re not objective) and go over in yo

You are so right about the "softness" of most of Brando's paper, sadly
however, this is true for most of the big names of the 40's and 50's. Who

Todd,
I wouldn’t pay the appraiser’s estimate of $3-4K simply because this kind of
price tag is out of my league. However, I’d bet that if this piece was
auctioned off by, say Heritage, it would fetch a MUCH higher figure than Rudy
Franchi’s appraisal.

I wouldn't be surprised if some other films get more votes than DI,
like Some Like it Hot, spoiling that matchup
But I will have a final round where the two top vote getters of each
director face off, and I imagine Double Indemnity and Sunset
Boulevard will have their show
I bow to Dave on this. This is absolutely true. It very well could be about

how many collectors want it and how far they are willing to go to get it.
Yes, this poster is goofy-looking. Yes, the market for Brando material outside
of Waterfront and Streetcar is a little soft. However, that asi

I have never seen this 40x60 before, and is very cool, much better art than the R-30x40. Zeev, I guess the question to the Brando collectors would be, would YOU pay what the appraiser estimated? I guess if it came to auction we would all find out if it would reach that estimate. I am usually surp
