Top 10 Best Al Pacino Movies
Al Pacino is a name synonymous with some of the most iconic roles in film history, and his career has spanned everything from explosive crime dramas to sensitive character studies. When you think of performances that grab hold of you, Pacino's body of work is an absolute treasure trove. With raw intensity and the kind of charisma that's both complex and riveting, he's created characters that stay with you long after the credits roll. Whether he's bringing larger-than-life personas to the screen or showing the inner turmoil of a flawed but fascinating character, Pacino has a unique way of bringing humanity to every role, making even the most morally questionable characters feel relatable and real.
Al Pacino was actually nominated for an Oscar for this movie! Everybody is starting to say this is one of the greatest performances of all time. This is the real Al Pacino. He deserved to win this Oscar.
It was a composite of all five New York families. Francis Ford Coppola combined a little of this, a little of that, and created a giant in the movie industry. Marlon Brando was terrific! This is the film that elevated Al Pacino to one of the greatest actors of any time period.
This is without a doubt the greatest movie of all time, and nobody "made" the film. It was just full of talent and purely amazing.
He is just too cold for words. Sonny was a hothead, but Michael turns out to be more ruthless than he ever thought about being. Vito and Sonny both had the capacity to forgive, but not Michael. And he was patient. Pacino's best role, no doubt.
Just the full package and the greatest sequel in history. It had some memorable scenes and quotes. It gives you a more than reasonable insight into the reign of Michael Corleone and the early days of Vito Corleone.
This is his best performance! He loses his soul completely in this one!
Just an amazing performance overall. The way he speaks and maintains his realism is unbelievable. I cannot believe he didn't score an Oscar for this movie.
The best Pacino performance ever! The movie itself is very good and creates a reality for the audience because of the realistic performance.
This movie had one of the greatest performances in cinema history!
To me, it's one of the most riveting and absolutely phenomenal movies I've ever seen. I've watched my fair share of movies in all genres, but this redemption story of coming from nothing to having the world ends in what I believed was one of the most tragic endings. The ending is determined by the one subtle but ironic act of goodness that Tony displays.
Al Pacino did a tremendous job bringing to life the "Cuban Refugee" turned "Drug Lord," along with the rest of the cast. Steven Bauer, who played his best friend/right-hand man/second in command, was also phenomenal from beginning till his end. This will forever be Al Pacino's best work to date. It's De Palma and Stone's best as well.
A combination of two of the best actors in the industry. You simply cannot ask for better actors than those two. Al Pacino and Robert De Niro both play their best roles in this film. The film has an awesome story and acting.
Deeply in love with both legends, Al Pacino and De Niro. Great movie and dialogues when they face each other.
One of the best shootout scenes in film history! Two legends going head to head, and the dinner scene was intense. One of my all-time favorites.
I think it's the highest level of acting an artist can reach. Al Pacino is the heart, soul, and body of this movie.
Dramatic, funny, and realistic. Right now, there aren't many movies in which an actor gives such an impressive performance. Watching this movie, you can feel the character's emotions. This is amazing.
The acting in this movie is absolutely mind-blowing. Al Pacino deserves the Oscar he won.
The final courtroom scene contains one of the most electrifying performances ever seen in a film.
Good movie with an electric Pacino!
I can't believe he wasn't even nominated for Best Actor. This is why people question the winners. Let alone not being nominated, he should have won.
Great acting by Pacino and Hackman. A very different buddy movie. One of a kind.
The Newcomers
Pacino gives a reserved and believable performance. He gives the character real sympathy, and his final scene is heartbreaking.
Great movie, nice love story, not your usual Pacino role. Great!
A really great movie by Christopher Nolan.
Fantastic acting and intriguing plot. I have to say I was in tears at the end of this. It was a very moving performance from Mr. Pacino. The best film I have seen in a long time.
Pacino was at his prime while acting in this film. He was relaxed, confident, and not over the top. He was supported by a great Sean Penn.
Carlito's Way is one of Pacino's top five movies. A better performance than Dog Day Afternoon.
