Jauronimo Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 It was still better than Scent of a Woman. Hoooooaaahhhhhh!!! I think Pacino's best movie was Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cugalabanza Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted May 29, 2013 Share 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acantha Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NobesBLO13 Posted May 30, 2013 Share 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.
