  1. One of my favorite actors and people!!! “Wanna say hello to my little friend” … yep I use that saying ALL the time! I never had the pleasure of crossing paths with Al when I lived in NY but my brother, cousin and a good friend have and they all said he’s a down to earth, nice guy. I am a big fan of the Godfather movies and all of Al’s movies!!! Thank you cogerson for the stroll down memory lane 🙂

  2. Another great page! Besides the first two Godfather films, my favorite Pacino movies both happen to be based on real events: ‘Serpico’, about NY undercover cop Frank Serpico; and ‘The Insider’, about the back story of a ’60 Minutes’ expose of the cigarette industry. Both fascinating dramas.

  5. “Manolo shoot dat pis of chit” Pacino yeah, one of my favourites. The first two Godfathers are among my top favourite films. And I watched Scarface on video countless times with my mates during the 80’s.

    He was great in Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon, would those films have been as good if Dustin Hoffman was the lead? I don’t think so.

    I didn’t like Cruising or Revolution but I did enjoy Sea of Love and he was hilarious in Dick Tracy.

    Scent of a Woman isn’t one of my favourites but I still cheered when he finally won an Oscar. Heat is a modern day classic.

    An excellent movie page Conanson. Voted Up and Useful.

    1. Hey Steve….I agree with your points….although he is not one of my favorites I do acknowledge he has made more than a few classics….the 2000s were pretty rough for him at the box office…and at 71 you have to wonder how films the man has left in him…that being said I am glad he is not the Peter O’Toole of this generation…tons of nominations but no Oscars…..as always thanks for reading and commenting
