    We read A Streetcar Named Desire in 11th grade, and then our teacher showed us the film. The second young Marlon showed up onscreen, there was a collective “OH” from *everyone* in the class.

    Diva Alert! Vivien Leigh was BOTD 11/5/13. Imagine creating TWO of the most iconic performances in film history! And winning Oscars for both! Scarlett O'Hara in GONE WITH THE WIND (39) Blanche DuBois in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (51). Lots of great films, but this two-fer is legendary. #filmsky 📽

    Did you know Jonathan Demme directed a film starring Christopher Walken and Susan Sarandon, based on a Kurt Vonnegut story, about a community theater production of A Streetcar Named Desire? It’s 50 minutes long and it aired on PBS’s American Playhouse in 1984.

    44. A Streetcar Named Desire (dir. Kazan, 1951). It's fascinating to watch this as a kind of... transitionary period film, where Brando embodied the newer school of acting while Leigh very much still practiced old Hollywood stagecraft, and the film leans into it for its drama and it's brilliant!

    It’s weird to rewatch a film like Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, one that I’ve known my entire life, and feel like it’s modern because I associate it with my youth. It is 37 years old. In 1988, the movie from 37 years prior everyone remembered was A Streetcar Named Desire.

    Hard not to say Apocalypse Now, because it’s incredible, but he’s also not in it for a huge amount of time (though he is great). So if I’m recommending a film purely because of Brando, I’m going to say A Streetcar Named Desire.

    A Streetcar Named Desire film came out a few years before and barely holds back a frame of the sexuality that Picnic is tangled up in.
