Excellent matchup. Falcon for me.

Whoa, this is a tough one. Falcon is just so great. It's an excellent crime drama and no one does crime dramas like Bogart. Streetcar was just so controversial in its time. I mean that was way ahead of my time but I can still appreciate that. Brando is my favorite actor, and this is one of his best films. Streetcar, by a hair.

I found The Maltese Falcon to be far more enjoyable than the bland Streetcar Named Desire.

A Streetcar Named Desire has its moments, but The Maltese Falcon definitely stands out to me as the better film.

Brando was excellent, but I prefer watching the play live rather than the film. Plus Falcon is the better executed film.
