Favourite AL PACINO films?

Donnie Brasco very underrated imo.

 

I think Donnie Brasco was his last great movie performance. Danny Collins was good, but not great IMO. I can't think of anything else since Brasco that I would even consider really good (movies, that is. Some of his HBO work has been very good.)

 

“since “

I like The Humbling which is a humble movie least production values in comparison to Brasco..also Stand Up Guys( though that’s a ensemble cast).

 

I hadn't seen Stand Up Guys. I heard about it a few years after it came out, and I usually avoid movies that have more than one great actor but are not well known. They usually are terrible (case in point, the movie with Pacino and Anthony Hopkins). I just watched it today. Very good performances but the movie overall wasn't great. Also disappointed Alan Arkin had so little screen time.

 

Stand Up Guys is pretty good Alan Arkin is in it.

 

He was very good in it. I just wish he was in it more.

 

Well it was a Al Pacino film. Nice also to see Chris Walken in it. Like him in Seven Psychopaths.

 

Definitely one of the biggest travesties ever. I'd have a hard time finding many lead acting performances in film better than Pacino's in GFII.

 

Agreed, it was Pacino's most disciplined performance and that's saying something.

 

Some of his best acting in that film is when he is not even speaking. Just his mannerisms and facial expressions during the scene with the Senator early in the film (when Michael eventually offers him nothing for the gaming license) and then later when Hyman Roth is telling the Moe Greene story are off the charts fantastic.

 

Heat or Godfather imo

 

Indeed, perhaps the greatest acting comes after the senate hearing in the hotel with Diane Keaton. He goes from a concerned husband committed to marriage to learning about the abortion with his eyes as big as saucers and then lashes out with anger and hatred.

 

Pacino was magnetic in HEAT.

 

About to watch Serpico. One of his best performances to me - and the one probably the closest to his own persona.

 

The Godfathers
Sea Of Love
Dog Day Afternoon
And Justice For All
Scarface
Insomnia
Scent Of A Woman
Glenngarry Glen Ross
Donnie Brasco
Serpico
Dick Tracy
Heat

 

that would be all of them...huge fan...and he still has all his marbles...unlike that nut friend of his.

 

not slightly ...totally...

 

and so was Arnold, Tom Cruise, friggin' freaky! It was blowing my mind!

 

godfather
dog day afternoon
serpico
scarface
glengarry glen ross
carlito's way
heat

 

Not a movie but I like his performance so far in the new Amazon production.

 

Yeah ! He owned H E A T.

 

Just saw it a couple of weeks ago, amazing performance, he also had a great cast in that movie staring with Mr De Niro.

 

Best supporting actor for sure.

 

Me, Natalie

 

His performance and supporting cast was just as good if not better in Glengarry Glen Ross. The Ricky Roma character blew me away, particularly the scam he was running with Shelley Levine and his tirade at the Williamson office manager.
