Ranking the Montgomery Clift Films

Comments:  What's odd about the "Somewhat Enjoyable" movies is I didn't really enjoy them because of Clift. I thought Clift's character was the worst thing in the  Young Lions.  I enjoyed the Misfits primarily because of Monroe and Gable.  As for Raintree County  the main attractions were Liz Taylor, the Great photography and Lee Marvin.  Finally, Place in the Sun was only fun when Liz Taylor was onscreen.   While  Clift does an excellent acting job in all four movies, his characters didn't really excite me.
