Dir: Elia Kazan
Genre: Drama
Year: 1951

The only straight-up play-turned-into-a-movie in the Top 250, Streetcar really earns its spot here. I'm normally not a fan of such literal interpretations, but this film is Brando, Brando, Brando. Taking from his legendary Broadway breakthrough, he explodes onto the screen and quite literally changes acting forever. Vivien Leigh is also fantastic and the whole thing is just magical to watch.

That's really all I have to say about this one. The entire selling point is witnessing perhaps the finest performances ever put to screen.
