I didn't want to go off topic on the Donovan's Reef thread, so here's a new thread. Lee Marvin certainly put out lots of entertaining cinema moments. And there's far more of his movies I've never seen...

No love for his dumb cop in Gorilla at Large?

Thanks everybody for all the opinions and suggestions, lots of good stuff to choose from. I'd forgotten about Gorilla at Large & was thinking he never did any horror or sci-fi. That one is about...

This is a tough question. It's just about a toss up between The Dirty Dozen and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance for me. Both are memorable tough guy roles that no one else but Lee marvin could pull...

Oh, yeah! Don't mess with Marvin. Everything he said sounded like a threat with his low, growly "dont f*^! with me" voice. Check out HELL IN THE PACIFIC, a two man show with Marvin and Toshiro Mifune...

Lee Marvin is so tough he fought a robot and lived in The Twilight Zone.

It's not a huge role, but the physical and verbal sparing with John Wayne in The Comancheros always brings a smile to my face.

I think Marvin was good value in nearly all of his roles, but my favorite of his is as the hard-as-nails Rico Fardan in THE PROFESSIONALS. THE DIRTY DOZEN runs it a close second; also his charming...

I just watched EMPEROR OF THE NORTH today (I'd bought the DVD after reading great praise of the film when Ernest Borgnine passed away, but just got around to watching it now). Loved it.

Has anyone seen his performance as Hickey in The Iceman Cometh? I've read in the past that his performance runs hot and cold and is pretty much out-acted by Robert Ryan and Fredric March.
View ArticleRe: What's your favorite Lee Marvin movie?
I'd say that's true. The rest of the cast, led by Ryan and March, are superb. Even an impossibly-young Jeff Bridges. Marvin is good as Hickey, sometimes very good. But that massive, difficult role...

A shout-out to Marvin's Sgt. Mooney in EIGHT IRON MEN, a little known but terrific ensemble piece based on a play by the great Harry Brown (A WALK IN THE SUN). Marvin, the combat vet, always brought...

His other Twilight Zone episode "The Grave" is worth seeing, too.
View ArticleRe: What's your favorite Lee Marvin movie?
Yes, "The Grave" is one of the best horror episodes.

I saw yesterday The Big Heat again on Antenna. Great movie with Marvin and Gloria Grahame in top form, the latter better than she was in the Bad and the Beautiful where she won an Oscar.

I would have to say CAT BALLOU. I think Jane Fonda has maybe the best line in the whole thing, but even that line is all about reacting to something HE says - "Your brother??!!"
