I don't why he chose to play the character with a lisp, though. Seemed out of place in a war movie.

Dog Day Afternoon and it's not remotely close for me. I guess Scent is alright. Scarface: no.

Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon. If we're talking the last ten years the answer is easily Donnie Brasco.

09-28-2005, 11:21 PM

Best movie he was in was Goodfellas, best performance was Carlito's Way.

People need to work on their Baconology (six degrees of separation). Pacino was not in Goodfellas, Robert DeNiro was.

Am I in the twilight zone? wtf are you people talking about? If Al Pacino was in Apocalypse Now, it was some uncredited role where he was on-screen for about two seconds, which I doubt is what OP was looking for with his question.

My top ten Pacino performances:

1: The Godfather: Part 2
2: The Godfather
3: Serpico
4: A Dog Day Afternoon
5: Donnie Brasco
6: Scarface
7: The Insider
8: Scent of a Woman
9: Heat
10: Carlito's Way

Come on now. You are seriously saying Sea of Love, Insomnia, and Dick Tracy are better than Scent of a Woman? The movie was good and his performance was great. He won the Oscar for a reason. Sure, part of the reason might have been to make up for him getting screwed over in the past, but mostly it was because he played the role great.

Why didnt you just say that Any Given Sunday was the best, followed closely by Simone?

Okay, I forgot Any Given Sunday, so move Stench of a Woman one more spot down the list.

Sea of Love and Insomnia are infinitely better than Smell of a Cooze.

LOL Dom.

Sea of Love. (Goodman was good in that as well, Ellen Barkin at her milf-like peak)

Well...

The two main characters and situation they are put in together are ridiculous.

The movie is about an HOUR too long.

Pairing Chris "Wonderbread" O'Donell with Al Pacino is like....well, pairing Chris O'Donnell with Al Pacino. The kid is out of his league and pretty much disappears from screen even though he is the lead.

As much as I love Pacino, he must've had heartburn from all the scenery-chewing he did. Over-the-top - and not in a good way.

That last scene everyone loves - "I'd take a flamethrower to this place!" is howlingly bad. It's like they said, "hey, remember the "You're out of order!" speech from "And Justice For All? THAT'S what we need here."

Only it didn't work.

Look, if you like the movie, you like the movie. Nothing wrong with that. It didn't work for me on almost every level. But to place it at or near the top of Pacino's films is ludicrous.

Did not like Any Given Sunday at all. Pacino was woefully miscast there, and the script was weak.

Just wanted to say I agree with everything Dominic says here, except I thought the movie was about 156 minutes too long. I honestly can never understand anyone watching this movie for anything other than the comedy value that comes from watching excrutiatingly bad movies.
