Pacino: best role
 
What was Al Pacino's greatest role ever in a movie?

I would go with Serpico, because, while the old honest man in a dishonest man's world is nothing new, I thought Pacino was completely believable in this role. He has had so many great ones, and I didn't expect to like Serpico, but it's refreshingly honest. Plus, it deals with issues that are totally pertinent today. If you haven't seen this, I strongly recommend you give it a try.

Oh, what the........
I was trying to make a poll with this thread. Anyway, I guess you can comment on here for now.

Thankyou! Need a poll? It can be sorted .

^ Make one anyway.

Serpico was good, Dog Day Afternoon, but Scarface for me.

jackhammer 02-23-2008 06:18 PM

I hate Scarface. One of the most overated films for years.

right-track 02-23-2008 06:21 PM

Yep, but I liked it.
The scene in the shower room, the ruthlessness, the ott ending.
Fantastic!
So fuck off!!!

Oh...and welcome back. :)

Apparently there's a new Heat movie due out next year.

Oh, btw, you'll all pay for not letting me make this a poll.

I agree. He had to portray such a wide range of emotions in that film, and was so convincing in doing so. That performance was just jaw-droppingly good. Scarface is probably my favourite Pacino movie, but his talent as an actor evidences most patently in DDA imo.

Why the fuck did'nt I say The Godfather? his performances in part's one and two are so menacing. Anybody checked out Deniros original auditions for The Godfather? Christ that guy is one serious actor.
