  2. I just re-watched The Godfather and The Godfather Part II this past weekend and was again blown away by Pacino’s performances. Two of my other favorites are Donnie Brasco and Insomnia. The Gotti movie sounds promising.

  4. Great page! I actually am a Pacino fan. But, I see there are a few of his films I’ve missed. What I like about him: He does some great movies and he has a real appeal. There are lots of popular Italian-American actors, but Al Pacino is the most attractive of all the big names. He’s good at playing good-guy characters and sympathetic bad-guys. My favorite Pacino movies are: Dog Day Afternoon; Serpico; Scarface; …And Justice for All and The Devil’s Advocate.

Your list of favorite Pacino movies is a great list….and I am glad to see someone other than me thought the Devil’s Advocate was enjoyable….I like Pacino as the devil….and I even thought Keanu Reeves did a surprisingly solid job as well…thanks for the comments

    1. Hey Major Hill….Pacino has made a huge amount of gangster movies….and Gotti:Three Generations will follow that path….the director also directed Bugsy(more gangsters)….so this one should be pretty good…..and long ways to go before that one reaches the theaters…..people seem to know about this movie already….the power of Lindsay Lohen….thanks for reading the page.
