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.

My mom keeps telling me to watch Scent of a Woman. Gonna watch The Panic in Needle Park, Scent of a Woman then Donnie Brasco.

Scarface is still great.

No, it's not. It's pile of hot garbage.

By the way, they're making it again, so people are gonna be bitching and complaining about a re-make of a re-make.

Cruising was not what I expected.

Read they toned that movie down a lot which surprises me. Apparently it would have pretty much been a *** XXX murder mystery had the filmmaker had his way.

Well, its got a cult following and favorable reviews on every reputable site so I wouldnt call it hot garbage because you dont care for it.

Yah I liked his acting performance in Scent Of A Woman. Think it was slightly a showcase of his talents for that film. Story line wasn't mind blowing but Pacino def did it again with his performance. Its been a long time since I have seen it though. As far as I know it could have been a good film for its time and place. Haven't watched it recently so not sure if it stands the test of time.

People are probably just sick of scarface quotes and stuff. It's far from hot garbage. It's a great film.

I was hard pressed on my list between Scent of a Woman and Devils Advocate. Pacino as the Prince of Darkness won. It also won over Scarface as being a way over the top performance.

Scarface is a lot of fun at times, but is really a mess of a movie. The whole subtext with his little sister still does not sit well with me and a lot of white people playing Cubans.

Not total trash, but for sure does not crack my top ten in Pacino roles.

I saw that, who were the other eight?
Well...that makes two of us. The other seven must have been the interns working on the flick.

Too bad...it was pretty damn good.

My favorite teams
  1. Chicago Cubs
  1. Chicago Bulls
  1. Chicago Bears
  1. Illinois Fighting Illini
Pacino is one of my favorites. I'd say most memorable to me are Sea of Love, Scent of a Woman, Scarface, Devil's Advocate, Any Given Sunday in no particular order.

The first time Pacino and De Niro appeared on screen together.

Not the first movie they both appeared in though as Deniro played the young Vito Corleone in Godfather2
