11. I hope this does better than _The Caine Mutiny_, or _Mr. Roberts_.
12. Who could be heartless enough to vote against Elwind P. Dowd, and his buddy?
13. Another great classic, and defining performance.
14. I sure hope _Bringing Up Baby_ doesn’t get more votes. I know there’d be few votes for my favorite Cary Grants: _Father Goose_, _People Will Talk_, or _I Was a Male War Bride_.
15. His first defining role.
16. Believe it or not, this is the only Gary Cooper film I can think of off the top of my head. And I won’t Google if I can think of a plausible answer for a question.
17. I’d have thought this would be his “other than” role.
18. It’s this, or _The Ten Commandments_. I know whichever one I choose will be wrong.
19. Somehow I doubt that _Donovan’s Reef_ would be getting many votes.

Hey, at least you’re not sitting here wondering, “How the Hell did I forget _Cape Fear_ and _Rear Window_?” 😃

Wow. (#1) Sam Spade is giving Phillip Marlowe a thorough butt-kicking. Naturally, I backed the wrong one.

I have to admit, I’m only the most shallow of film historians. I thought that OTW was Brando’s first really big role, that brought him major public attention.

Brando already had 3 Oscar nominations under his belt by the time _Waterfront_ came out. Essentially, _Streetcar_ put him on the map, and there he stayed for more than a decade.
