Jauronimo Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I have a friend who loves Pacino and thinks this is the greatest movie. Boggles my mind. It was still better than Scent of a Woman. Hoooooaaahhhhhh!!!
Fan in San Diego Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 It was still better than Scent of a Woman. Hoooooaaahhhhhh!!! I think Pacino's best movie was Heat.
KD in CA Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I think Pacino's best movie was Heat. The Godfather? Serpico? Dog Day Afternoon? Donnie Brasco? One Pacino movie that's a bit under the radar that I loved was Sea of Love. Ellen Barkin was yummy in her prime.
Cugalabanza Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 ...Sea of Love. Ellen Barkin was yummy in her prime. reminds me of another great movie that doesn't get the credit it deserves: Diner (and Ellen Barkin is pretty cute in it)
IDBillzFan Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 One Pacino movie that's a bit under the radar that I loved was Sea of Love. Ellen Barkin was yummy in her prime. Great flick. The sting scene in the beginning was pretty funny. "You don't know who I am? Let me give you a clue. HOLY COW!" "You're Phil Rizzuto? Do it again." "HOLY COW!" "Man, I knew it. You ARE Phil Rizzuto. Hey Phil...why you serving us coffee?"
bbb Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 $7 on the weekend gets you 3 movies, and usually one is a recent (2 weeks or less) release.... Midway Drive In And they have the old time ads, including my favorite.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUvm6aHPzII I think all you guys are missing Mark's point.
Just Jack Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 I think all you guys are missing Mark's point. No I'm not.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 the Inches Speech is why. haha; that's exactly it. He loves that speech. The Godfather? Serpico? Dog Day Afternoon? Donnie Brasco? One Pacino movie that's a bit under the radar that I loved was Sea of Love. Ellen Barkin was yummy in her prime. Sea of Love?? Really?? Pacino has some serious duds. E.g., "and justice for all." Probably one of the worst movies ever.

Mark Vader Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 The Godfather? Serpico? Dog Day Afternoon? Donnie Brasco? One Pacino movie that's a bit under the radar that I loved was Sea of Love. Ellen Barkin was yummy in her prime. I've never seen "Donnie Brasco". We all know how great "The Godfather" is. I thought "Serpico" was nothing special. "Dog Day Afternoon" is very good. As for Fan in San Diego's point, I don't know if "Heat" is Pacino's best, but I love that movie and Pacino gives a good performance in it.
DC Tom Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 As for Fan in San Diego's point, I don't know if "Heat" is Pacino's best, but I love that movie and Pacino gives a good performance in it. Except for three moments (when he finds Natalie Portman in the bathtub, the "Neil is gone" scene after the shootout, and "You do not get to watch my television set!"), I thought Pacino's performance was slightly annoying. Mostly because I consider that the start of his "SCREAM EVERY LINE!!!" method of acting. And Dennis Haysbert is seriously underappreciated in Heat. Small part, but possibly the best performance in the movie.
Fixxxer Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Underrated: Flotsam & Jetsam Overrated: Kiss and every glam rock band that ever existed.
Lurker Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Bullitt with Steve McQueen. Caught it last night on AMC and was laughing at all the pregnant pauses in dialog, stilted acting and so-so action sequences (outside of the iconic car chase). It gets a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, putting in the top tier of American movies, but I just don't get it....
bbb Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Underrated: Flotsam & Jetsam Overrated: Kiss and every glam rock band that ever existed. These threads are getting confusing!
Fixxxer Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 These threads are getting confusing! lol, I made an attempt to edit but had nothing interesting to say about movies, I thought, at least, I would made a fool of myself.
Acantha Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Mostly because I consider that the start of his "SCREAM EVERY LINE!!!" method of acting. That was definitely Scent of a Woman. He's been playing a loud angry blind man since 1993.
NobesBLO13 Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Major league....The Sandlot.....the fighter/Cinderella man/rocky.......Bloodsport. BLOODSPORT!! Come on these are great sports movies. Bloodsport is the worst acted, worst written, and worst directed movie of all time, but I love it and can't help but what watch it whenever it's on.
DC Tom Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Bloodsport is the worst acted, worst written, and worst directed movie of all time, but I love it and can't help but what watch it whenever it's on. Then you haven't seen Showgirls.
Fixxxer Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Bloodsport is the worst acted, worst written, and worst directed movie of all time, but I love it and can't help but what watch it whenever it's on. Pretty much like Starship Troopers.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted May 30, 2013 Posted May 30, 2013 Can I just say here, for one moment, that Spaceballs sucks?
