Al Pacino

[Mitchapalooza]

I've been on a BINGE of Al Pacino movies lately. He's one of my favorite actors. What Al Pacino movies do you like the best?

I just recently watched the godfather trilogy, dog day afternoon (he was awesome in that), carlitos way, and serpico. I prefer his movies from the 70s-80s. Younger Al Pacino is his best performances imo. I'm gonna watch panic in needle park either today or tomorrow. It was his first starring role and it got him noticed for Godfather.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

The Graduate

Cruising was not what I expected.

Don't forget the Marathon man and Tootsie.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

His take on Smee in 'Hook' was fantastic.

 

[Unannounced Fart]

I can't believe Scarface hasn't been mentioned.

I saw that, who were the other eight?

I can't believe Scarface hasn't been mentioned.

Because Scarface is overrated and dated. I watched it a couple years ago and I was laughing.
Please, Hollywood-- bring back gangster synth.

I thought his performance in You Don't Know Jack was very good.

Scarface is still great. Anyone who downplays a man sticking his whole face in a pile of cocaine is just a hater. I even liked him in "Any Given Sunday". Devils Advocate was the tits. Really, there are very few Pacino or DeNiro movies I do not like.

Never bought into the tough guy roles. What is he 5 feet tall? Never heard Clint yelling at everybody.

Eh, Stallone is short as **** and he plays boosy bad ass in everything.

 

[Urblock]

He looks the part.

HGH and eating aborted fetuses help. :snoop:

Not really in Copland. He was sort of the meek dude.

 

[Mitchapalooza]

Godfather is on AMC right now

Dog Day Afternoon is by far my fav of his.

You know Scent Of A Woman was pretty fucking good also as a depart from his more aggressive character roles. But yah Donnie Brasco, Carlitos Way also a couple of my favs. Scarface was good but I dont like it as much as I used to.
