Water



There are only a handfull of movies that I viewed without using the Fast Forward. Well, that is somewhat exaggerated. Of course I enjoyed many more movies. But these few left some eternal impression only after seeing them once on TV or so in my younger years. I'm not sure where, but I saw some impressive examples of Method Acting by Marlon Brando or James Dean. And it is probably also no coincidence that all these films are in black-and-white.

My top movies;
- Citizen Kane [1941, Orson Welles]
- Casablanca [1942, Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman]
- The Third Man [1949, Orson Welles]
- Rebel Without a Cause [1955, James Dean, Nathalie Wood]
- On the Waterfront [1954, Marlon Brando] is perhaps my earliest recollection of a great movie.

The Waterfront Crime Commission is about to hold public hearings on union crime and mob infiltration. As workers are turned against each other, Terry Malloy inadvertently participates in the murder of fellow man Joey Doyle. Union boss Johnny Friendly orchestrates the murder along with other illegal dockside activities, aided by Terry's brother Charley. Terry begins to feel his conscience. When Joey's sister Edie sees more in Terry than he sees in himself and Father Barry urges him on, Terry reviews his past and begins to regain responsibility for his actions.

And then I stumbled upon the links to this movie. All credits go to the original uploader.
