Al Pacino

Anidawehi · 01-21-2006, 04:18 PM

What is your favorite movie by him?

I'll give you a list of some of them so there's not a whole bunch of wannabe motherfuckers sayin, "Scarface" cause that is nowhere near his best work...

The Godfather Series
Serpico
Dog Day Afternoon
Scarface
Frankie & Johnny
Scent of A Woman
Carlito's Way
Two Bits
Heat
City Hall
Donnie Brasco
The Devil's Advocate
The Insider
Any Given Sunday
Insomnia
S1m0ne
People I Know
The Recruit
The Merchant Of Venice (I bet NOBODY on here has even seen it, but amazing work)

That's all I can think of...I'm sure there's others but yea.

Krighst · 01-21-2006, 05:30 PM

Scarface is automatically excluded.

My favorite is Heat and the Godfather III.

-Mac- · 01-21-2006, 07:26 PM

I liked Insomnia. Heat was dope as well. Speaking of Pacino I should have Two for the Money waiting in the mail. Haven't checked it today yet.

snipzer · 01-21-2006, 08:15 PM

heat is crazy. Pacino and De niro are legends!

MadVillain413 · 01-21-2006, 11:55 PM

I don't want to have to jump on the Heat bandwagon, but it is my favorite Pacino flick. He also owned in Devil's Advocate.

GenghisCon · 01-22-2006, 01:27 AM

1 heat
2 scarface
3 godfathers
4 donne brasco
5 the recruit

The Jeus · 01-22-2006, 02:00 AM

why would nobody have seen merchant of venice....good movie and performance

anyway, the answer is "dog day afternoon", followed by "...and justice for all"

menaz · 01-22-2006, 02:28 AM

i'm going to have to go with............................... ..........

Dog Day Afternoon! it's an excellent movie.

Krighst · 01-22-2006, 02:36 AM

How could I forget the Insider...great movie...

Crocodile · 01-22-2006, 11:25 AM

A.. your pseudo-intellectualism knows no bounds and needs to stop.. especially if seeing Merchant of fucking Venice gives you the notion you're somehow superior... i've seen it AND read it you pretentious prick...

oh yeah and my favorite Pacino performance is either Insider or Dog Day Afternoon.... im yet to see Scent of a Woman... i know he got an oscar for that piece

Congrats, you've read Shakespeare.

Most people haven't seen it. Especially at our age.
Ask around sometime if people our age even know what the "Merchant Of Venice" was and who wrote it.

Scent Of A Woman is a great movie.
Dog Day Afternoon was one of his great films though, also.

"Attica! Attica!" (Back before the smoking effected his voice)

My top 5 list though would go as follows:

1. Godfather Series (Masterpiece as a whole)
2. Scent Of A Woman
3. Dog Day Afternoon
4. Carlito's Way
5. Donnie Brasco

Wonk Saggin · 01-22-2006, 09:58 PM

Godfather series
Panic In Needle Park
Serpico

Wonk Saggin · 01-22-2006, 10:01 PM

...and scarface IS one of his very BEST performances, just because its been played out recently doesnt mean you can completely discredit it

Krighst · 01-22-2006, 10:28 PM

Indeed, but rappers and whoever have played that movie the fuck out.

pacino makes a nasty •••

Anidawehi · 01-23-2006, 10:20 AM

Pacino is the shit...

Went from an Italian Godfather to a Cuban Drug Kingpin to a Puerto Rican Hitman in Carlito's Way to a blind Ex-Officer to Satan in Devil's Advocate to a homosexual bank robber in Dog Day Afternoon and then played an Angry ••• in "Venice"

Guy is versatile as fuck

Nitsuj™ · 01-25-2006, 01:25 AM

It's a toss up... Carlito's Way, Scarface, and Heat.

Syza Koza · 01-25-2006, 10:19 AM

Heat.

emotions. · 01-27-2006, 11:47 AM

Donnie Brasco was the shit, and Scarface is very overrated.
