your thoughts on this man?
what movie would u refer with his CLASSIC AND BEST ACTING??

I love Al.
Dog Day Afternoon

Panic in Needle Park
Serpico
...And justice for all
Devil's Advocate
Cruisin'

...any... not just these.

Hall Of Fame Career.His 70's Stuff is where His Legend was Peak&Prime IMHO.in the 80's "Crusing"&Scarface".those 2 are His Main Moments of that Era IMHO.since then Hit&Alot of Miss.He is one of the Greatest Actors Ever but I also think folks are stuck in a time warp with Him as well because truth be told It's be a Really Long time since He has made a Great Film IMHO.also I get tired of His Over-Acting in almost every film he has done since the mid 80's til now.but having said that He is a First Tier Actor&One of the Greatest Ever IMHO.

WHOOOWAAA!

He is wonderful in every movie! Scarface was PERFECT! Scent of a Women was another favorite of mine. He's just goood!

I cringe seeing certain posts with your name but...

I love Al..all his shit. Especially And Justice For All...and I cant get enough of the old vet in Heat or Glengary Glenn Ross...all the others of course hes great in (that Corleone movie, Serpico, Dog Day Aft, Needle Park, Searching For Richard, all which that dingbat subyduby knows nothing about Im sure)

Pacino tends to over-act quite a bit... I still really like him, but the veins stand out on his forehead too often... he can be good, but he can be overbearing too.

The veins are a GOOD thing! What is with you!?

Too true--his angry, yelling stuff carried him in the nineties but it worked well in Heat and Glen Gary.

He's 2 sexy:) If I had n xtra 3 hours each day I would spend it watching Scarface...gladly.

Give me Deniro any day.

I love Al Pacino. I met him ,spoke to him and got his autograph. He's so nice. I think his best acting was in The Godfather series and also Scarface. I also like Al in Sea Of Love. He's a Great actor. As Tony Manaro says AL PACINO!

huh...I thought this thread was about that Madonna song

"Don't Cry For Me, Al Pacino"

whooops, my bad...

I love Al but that Cuban accent didn't sound natural at all in Scarface. It's the most affected thing he's ever done. The whole movie was overwrought and too over the top to convince me. It's an overblown, total testosterone/beer/guy thing. More power to y'all who dig it.

Serpico
Dog Day Afternoon
Godfather I & II


ps, that hair needs ... something.

SCARFACE

He DOES over-act! Especially in Devil's Advocate.

My fav's are the first Godfather, Scent of a Woman, Scarface, Heat and Serpico.

A lot of people don't like heat, but there were so many yummy men in there I can't help myself to watch it!

In Devil's Advocate, he was having fun with the role, but in Scent of a Woman he really overdid it. But he got that Oscar, and that's why we have scenes like in Any Given Sunday, where you spend the whole movie waiting for Al to break into speech.

Having said that, I'm a big fan, I'll buy his movies without seeing them first, because if it has Al, there's something worth seeing in it.

Faves: Serpico, Devil's Advocate, Godfather Part II, Insider. He was great in City Hall and Insomnia as well, but the movies weren't the best.

Just don't get him confused with Robert De Niro. I hate that.

Al Pacino will always stick in my memory for that part in Heat where he shouts "GREAT ASS" and pulls that face and does the whole hand motion...What a guy...He was taking the piss all the way through Heat, I'm sure
Glengary Glen Ross, what a film
Scarface - Perfect
Godfathers - Obviously
Scent Of A Women

This man IS acting - His only equal could be De Niro
IMO

Al is one of our greatest actors EVER! He can do anything. I can't believe he's in his 60's already. I hope he never gets too old to make movies. It's so hard when we loose great actors. I miss Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. You should check out Glengary Glenross. Great movie with Al and Jack.
