I would argue with you...Brando in the Godfather was better.

Duvall is one of my favorites, too!

He is very good in a variety of roles. He has been a standout cowboy. Almost as good as Tom Selleck.

We all have our favorites, and I wouldn't try to disabuse you of yours. But to me James Stewart was the best ever.

When the American Film Institute published it's list of the 100 best actors of the 20th Century, they had Humphrey Bogart first, Cary Grant second, and James Stewart third. I would have reversed Stewart and Bogart. In fact, being a huge fan of John Wayne, I wouldn't have put Bogart in the top three. Duvall was on the list, but I don't remember at what spot.

He owns every movie he's in. You just can't not watch him.

Ditto that. There were many very great movies in which he played integral roles that many don't relize was him.

Ned Pepper in True Grit, Frank Burns in MASH etc. He was in Apocalypse Now for maybe 10 minutes but it is his performace that everybody remembers.

I love Duvall. I don't remember him ever making a bad movie. He was on O'Reilly last week and I got the impression he is definitely not a Hollywood liberal.

BTW, Broken Trail was a great movie.

Go rent the movie"Second hand lions" with Michael Caine and Robert Duvall in the staring roles. One of the best Family Movies of all times! Enjoy!

I agree Robert Duvall is the greatest. Glad to hear he is a Presidential pal. I have never heard a political word out of his mouth and if anyone has heard him spout liberal cr@p, don't tell me.

He reminds me of my dear departed Father in law. We will go to see any movie he has anything to do with.
