Your fav Al Pacino performance ?

Insomnia. Christopher Nolans best film as well imo. No lame ass M. Shyamalan plot twist or overlong terrible pacing. Robin Williams is also really good in it.

Let me just say that I love Pacino he is probably my favorite actor of all time. In chronological order:

• The Godfather: 10/10
• Serpico: 8/10
• The Godfather 2: 10/10
• Dog Day Afternoon: 7/10
• ...And Justice for All.: 7/10
• Scarface: 8/10
• Dick Tracy: 7/10
• The Godfather 3: 10/10
• Glengarry Glen Ross: 6/10
• Scent of a Woman: 8/10
• Carlito's Way: 8/10
• Heat: 10/10
• Donnie Brasco: 8/10
• The Devil's Advocate: 7/10
• The Insider: 8/10
• Any Given Sunday: 5/10
• Insomnia: 7/10
• The Recruit: 7/10
• Two for the Money: 6/10
• 88 Minutes: 6/10
• Phil Spector: 5/10

My favorite Al Pacino performance is as Michael Corleone in The Godfather: Part 2. After that his performances in Serpico, Godfather 1, Dick Tracy, Heat and Donnie Brasco are my favorites.

The devil's advocate

Insomnia.

"All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break them for no one."

Scarface. He literally made that movie.

Donnie Brasco, loved the movie and his performance was a huge part of that.

Thought Scarface was a bit over the top and campy. Which is great, but it's much easier to do than something like the subtle and nuanced internal conflict in Insomnia,

This. How could you leave this off?!

Scarface

i'd say Insomnia.

Impossible to decide. I can't think of a role that Al Pacino did not excel in. Nevertheless if I were made to choose I'd sat Insomnia.

Hmm...looks like Al in Insomnia is loved by many.Honestly I thought Robin Williams was showing off the shining performance in that movie, but ,well ,that don't mean Al wasn't great in it !

You ain't seen The Panic and Scarecrow ? Shame , I'd like to know how you'd rate Al in them.And 7/10 for Al in Justice For All is pretty goddamn unfair , he was ten itself in that movie.

C'mon guys , tell me what you think of him in The Panic ,Scarecrow and And Justice.Those are my very favorite ones.

I can't answer that, it's too hard. It would have to be between Godfather, Scarface & Heat. Him & De Niro in Heat were masterful though man.

@elkoldo: And justice ran a close second to me. Scarface showed the most transformation of character, but And Justice was passionate, after his client hung himself, that last closing argument turnaround killed it.

"you're out of order! you're out of order!"

Fuckit. Its a tie tween And justice For All and Scarface. That ending...daaaammn.

It is polite when people use the spoiler block feature whenever possible to avoid spoiling a movie for fellow forumites.

Apparently he was offered to do the voice of two face in TAS.

Would have been quite cool.

Scarface, one of the first DVD's I ever bought. Classic movie, I've still got a giant Scarface poster somewhere too.

Yeah I got a poster of Al Pacino in Scarface ,too.I got it with my version of the game ,Scarface; The World Is Yours ,back in the good ol' 2005.

Probably Dog Day Afternoon

Good score, mine is about a metre in length... and the posters pretty long too! XD

Got the giant poster laminated years ago.

For some reason I was reminded of this video, someone uses an Al Pacino soundboard and prank calls a white gangsta wannabe. A lot of it is from Glengary Glen Ross, funny stuff.

Just how many times the holy word "****" was used in this conversation ?

@elkoldo Your favorite Al Pacino performances are the ones where he wears a trench coat, right? (Sorry, couldn't resist =P)

@korvus: Maybe,I haven't noticed, but I'm pretty sure he wears a suit or at least a shirt under his trench coat, it's not like he wears nothing under it ! =P

@elkoldo: Pshh...more pockets = more porn storage space...that's all...

Haha...another Lol

He's great in just about anything he does BUT my favorite scene is in Godfather 72 where he tells Sonny rather chillingly "it's not personal. It's just business." and his face sort of "hardens" and he turns into "scary/business" Michael that he'll be in 2 and 3. WHEW!

lol at people that say scarface, Such a terrible movie. Though for some reason is really popular amongst ghetto trash. AKA the same folks wearing yankees hats despite knowing nothing about baseball.

Amen bro. Indeed, without his performance Scarface would not be the iconic movie it is today.

Scarface

Hey today's Al Pacino's birthday.Happy birthday good ol' Al.

Heat.. his best performance and movie

The Godfather !

I don't even need to look at the poll results to know that Scarface is probably the winner, but my favorite is Scent of a Woman. That ending speech stands up there as one of the all-time cinema greats.
