The Godfather, Serpico, The Godfather 2, Scarface, Sea of Love, Carlito's Way, Scent of a Woman, Heat, Donnie Brasco, Devil's Advocate, Insomnia, The Irishman, some of Al Pacino's best films
Yeah, that close up shot of al as he walks around the pool table, for some reason it keeps the tension in the scene, i guess cause you know he is trying to distract the others and we see only his expression as he works them.
That eight ball scene always gets me breathless. It makes no difference that I know the outcome. Just incredible acting and timing by everybody. The air is so god-damn tight.
I've watched this scene a dozen times and just now realized the 'rack' at 2:32 was a shit rack, like he was just going through the motions. You can see it's not a legal/proper rack.I mean, just look at the 8-Ball.
How Pacino has only ever won one Academy Award is beyond me. The man has been part of so many iconic movies, playing so many iconic roles that it's an injustice that he's only a one time winner.
its because he was bred from the east coast, broadway and the actors studio... he was looked down upon for many years by the west coast hollywood industry. They did not even want him to play in the godfather, it was almost a miracle he got the role, even though he was well deserved and earned.
The one time he won was the one time he shouldn't have won. Not because he wasn't great. He was. But Denzel Washington gave the performance of a lifetime in Malcolm X. Families of Malcolm visited the set, and they were shocked to see him . They said it was as if Malcolm was alive.
Three things tip Carlito off in this scene: #1, He's denied the bathroom, and notices that if its "out of order", then why is somebody in there? #2 They turn the music up knowing shits is not far away from going down to muffle any gunfire or screaming. #3 Carlito notices the rack doesn't make one lick of sense after they mentioned they're playing eight ball. - after the culmination of these things.... Carlito takes action. Street smarts at its finest. Excellent scene.
YESSSSSS!!!!! Al Pacino is one of the best actors of all time. For me he's #1 and my favorite movie of all time was Scarface. It doesn't matter how old he gets, he's movies will always be top of the line successful.
@@harveyking5038it’s a tough world for sure, the acting. But this is actually the point here, to shine where it’s almost impossible. Al Pacino has been shining in the industry for decades, he deserves that title of One of the most brilliant actors of all times. To tell only one is the best, that’s always subjective.
@@harveyking5038 I agree with you for sure. There is a luck component here, but also think about it just a little. The fact is that there is a Pacino, a De Niro, a Nicholson, a Streep for one reason, that’s the point you are talking about. It must be this, the good luck seems to be random. I think is luck, she defines by herself but there is a work hard thing here as well. We can’t resume that this artist people for example they can’t work hard over the years. They had luck? Sure. But they work hard? Another sure. So for me there is luck and there is hard work and the gift that you have to be good at this sector or another. I mean, I probably could try acting because I love cinema and I will probably gonna be a bad actor, even if I work hard I could possibly be a bad actor. If I have luck doesn’t mean I’m going to be one of the best actors of all time. It needs a whole career and a lot of hard decisions over the years. These people are good, very good at their business. They had luck? Probably a little bit, but the luck is not the only material here to create this alchemy. Don’t you think? Thanks for the talk by the way. Have a good day.
I also love the scene in the movie Heat with Robert De Niro. The dialogue they had off each other and they way their characters finally meet face to face was incredible moment. When I was watching that part I almost had difficulty which character to root for because the way both men carried their acting skills to their own characters was impressive.
Yes! I agree 💯 best score ever, catches the decade/era masterfully. Even Viggo Mortensen as Lalin’ had me SO fooled!, he sounded 💯 authentic Puerto Rican! I didn’t realize at 1st it was Viggo. Great great cast.
one of the best gangster films after God father, his acting is sublime he is Carlito no acting was needed, cant understand peoples tastes for not rating it one of the best films.
And there are 100 more riveting scenes of acting from this man! From one spectrum of acting to the other and everything in between this man, Al Pacino, can take on the persona of a tree and have you on the edge of your seat. I can’t think of any other actor out there that has the range, the magic, artistry and gift he has. Truly an amazing man… who as another commenter here mentioned should have at least a dozen Academy Awards on his mantle back home. I stand and applaud thee Mr Alfredo James Pacino , who in my eyes is the G O AT !
Al Pacino belongs in the very top tier of actors together with names like Anthony Hopkins, Danial Day lewis. His commitment to the characters he plays and his delivery is on that level. He hasn't had the credit he deserves.
Carlitos way,most underated film ever,Pacino did it just as a favour to di palma apparently,and yet for me,his best film, its casablanca reimagined,he is staggering in this film
I could never decide who had the edge, Pacino or DeNiro, but now that DeNiro has lost his ever loving mind and acts like a complete nut job I will hand it over to Pacino. Al Pacino #1.
Scarface was the best one ever, saw it in the movie theaters when it came out in 1983 and it was so long that they had an intermission because they had to change the reels. What a great movie that was still as my all-time favorite.
Obviously it i difficult to pick just 3 impactful moments....but any video attempting that, and leaving out his speech in The Devi's Advocate, cannot be taken serious ;) Jokes aside, awesome vid, awesome acting!
These are great. No doubt. You could probably have 20 of his scenes here, or more. But number one for me was always the final scene of ...And Justice For All.
Of all the legendary roles he played, the one that struck me the most was his interpretation of a disillusioned author having to take care of 5 or 6 children while his wife has left him and he is in the middle of depression regarding the play he is struggling to write. The film is a romantic comedy entitled ''Author! Author!'' (1982) and I must have seen it a hundred times. I still look at it today from time to time, like an old comforting blanket. For me, this is my favorite role of his. I was shocked to read recently that he didn't get along at all with the director during filming! Can you imagine that!?! Him and De Niro will always be my favorites.
I am a late convert to the Al Pacino fan club. The very first movie where I saw and noticed him was the one in which he plays a blind veteran. ( am too lazy to google the name now..but the fans will know this movie). The court room scene where he makes an argument against ratting out fellow friends was one awesome master class in diction and delivery. I am from India so did not have that much exposure to him earlier in the pre-internet days. (edit : the move is scent of a woman)...saw it in teh sidebarr just now)
Of all his great films, I think I like "Heat" the most. He also did a low budget gem called, "Stand Up Guys," a film I guarantee you will LOVE, especially if you like Chris Walken, his partner in crime.
The scene in Carlito was a set up from the beginning, they planned to kill John Ortiz before they arrived. The Scarface scene was played with Pacino being conscious of his pain from being shot the whole time - real method acting. He acted like someone who had been shot, sweating & exhausted.
Number 1 scene is the Sollozzo and McCluskey murder in Louis’ restaurant where Michael becomes a real man and we see a glimpse of the godfather to be. We watch Michael, face swollen from McCluskey’s slap days before, grow up in minutes as Sollozzo and the dirty cop eat their last meal. All done while Pacino’s character said little in words, but poured everything into the emotions and thought process of the moment. That was consummate acting.
Carlito's Way is my favorite movie of all time. "You ain't a lawyer no more, you're a gangster now. You can't learn it in school and you can't start late".
The Godfather, Serpico, The Godfather 2, Scarface, Sea of Love, Carlito's Way, Scent of a Woman, Heat, Donnie Brasco, Devil's Advocate, Insomnia, The Irishman, some of Al Pacino's best films
You right ✅️ I have some of those movies 🎬 and I have never get tired of watching them
Don't forget Dog Day Afternoon!
Or Glengarry Glenross
True. Yep.
Don’t forget Jack and Jill.
His performance in Scent of a Woman was just otherworldly! I get chills every time! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of my most favorite scenes of all time.
I'm here just to point at how excellent Brian de Palma direction is. That "Carlito's Way" scene is shot by shot brilliant.
The opening shot of Capone being served by his barber in "The Untouchables" is the finest piece of cinema direction ever.
Yeah, that close up shot of al as he walks around the pool table, for some reason it keeps the tension in the scene, i guess cause you know he is trying to distract the others and we see only his expression as he works them.

You can see it's not a legal/proper rack.I mean, just look at the 8-Ball.
That’s the genius of director Brian Depalma
fantastic backing track too
@ I still find myself acting like Carlito if I’m in a nightclub and “got to be real!” Is on
The original take was actually a lot longer! The film company edited it!! And it was great! One of the best scenes!
Simply said= One of the best actors in the world......
Was when he wasn't woke.
@@shaynejenkins446Is he? I feel so disappointed to hear that
@@shaynejenkins446Most of Hollywood is woke. As long as they are not activist i.e DeNiro I’m okay with them.

@@surebrec5113 Al Pacino is an Icon
@@oscarwilde5473 He is 5'6in which is not too short. TC is 5'8.
The one time he won was the one time he shouldn't have won.
Not because he wasn't great.
He was.
But Denzel Washington gave the performance of a lifetime in Malcolm X.
Families of Malcolm visited the set, and they were shocked to see him .
They said it was as if Malcolm was alive.
It because he’s not agreed with power elites…
Probably the best actor of all time. His connection to the screen is unmatched.
to me, he's only after Marlon Brando and Paul Newman on the GOAT list
Jack Nicholson
14:30 The way Loggia delivers this is Master Class! He was terrified!!!
I love big Ernie. He nailed that part perfectly 👌
Me too. Everyone was awesome in Scarface.
You can put Pacino in a room and film him staring at the wall for 2 hours and it would be an Oscar worthy performance. The man kills it on screen.
Best post ever!
He can read the phone book and it would be captivating.
I wouldn't go that far
@@Mrmajellan123 It's a figure of speech.

Thanks for that
My, you're so observant
Also, the way the money counter says "Turn that shit up, I love that song..." HALFWAY through the song.
My 8 yr old knew what was up, thanks detective.
The first he notices someone peaking out of the bathroom, then he gets denied the bathroom! Snd kenkaya tips him off as well!…
He treats every role like he's on a Broadway stage. It's amazing. Literally 100% commited to every line he says while being in character.
There will never be another Pacino for another 100 years...
Tom Hardy showed promise before he did venom.
What is wrong with Venom? @@gabrieljohannson6777
Pacino is one in a billion.
Thank god.

It is still difficult to me accept he only won one Oscar.
Should have easily gotten an Oscar for Scarface.
Same here, but this man has EIGHT movies coming out...hopefully one of them gets him his second OVERDUE Oscar.
They f__ked him out of an Oscar for Scarface because it was TOO real, so Scent Of A Woman was the academy make up punk move
@@kevinwalsh4652 that is all true. happens sometimes they do the year after thing for a lesser movie. real greaseball isht

That was ANOTHER epic Pacino role.
As soon Carlito said "nah I'm going to watch".He knew that something was going on with these cats.
Did you make it to captain obvious or still just a LT yet
Carlito's Way crazy under rated film. And the Score is Real good
Yes! I agree 💯 best score ever, catches the decade/era masterfully. Even Viggo Mortensen as Lalin’ had me SO fooled!, he sounded 💯 authentic Puerto Rican!
I didn’t realize at 1st it was Viggo.
Great great cast.
one of the best gangster films after God father, his acting is sublime he is Carlito no acting was needed, cant understand peoples tastes for not rating it one of the best films.
Al Pacino a legend
only with AL Pacino ACT you can see that an actor can be Blind for real in all his feeling and acting. what a man in all History of Cinema
Scent of a woman
Como pudo actuar,muy bien de ciego, con los ojos abiertos? Yo me lo pregunto.

The 'say goodnight to the bad guy' scene ftom Scarface is one of my favourite scenes ftom all time. Pure class.
Pacino payed his dues, again & again. So much respect for the legend. ❤
paid
The "hu-ahh" followed by the erupted applause is just so classic. Get's ya everytime.
He Is the one of the Best Actors Ever !!!!!!
Always saw him and Deniro on the same plane..

He is THE BEST.

Never tire watching Al Pacino

“No no no, you never did nothing to nobody. You had somebody else do it for you!”
This movie was a reminder of how great an actor Pacino is. For my money, this was better than some of his other more popular movies.
Al is a legend.
He is genius!! ❤
Cussing out Kevin Spacey near the end of 'Glengarry Glen Ross' might actually beat these 😅
Oh yes! That was brutal. 'Williamson, you piece of shit. You fairy...' 😅
Agreed, that is an exceptional scene, also the shooting scene in the restaurant in The Godfather is great.
Scent of a woman will always be my fav ❤
I have see it countless times. It’s so great.
Amazing how he was able to be cast as Hispanic, Italian or just plain badass. Scent of a woman, Heat, Godfather are his best in my opinion.
Don't forget Cuban.. Tony Montana.... Scarface
Greatest actor ever! The scene from Scent of a woman brought tears to my eyes when I saw it. The emotions were because of his acting.
"Maybe you can get one of those 1st class tickets to the resurrection."
Maybe the least quotes lines from Scarface. Incredible.
“Fk you”!!!! Before Tony shoots Mel 😂😂
That Willy L0pez again!
Al Pacino is an awesome actor and very underestimated. His performance is diabolical!!
The office scene from The Devils Advocate when he reveals his true identity ( Lucifer) to his son (Keanu Reeves) character is Monumental!!!
Ernie had the worst job interview 😂😂😂
But he got the job m, man
A very quick one.......didn't even have to sit down 😂😂😂

Alfredo Pacino a total Excellent Actor who is Talented to a high degree
Just read “Sonny Boy” Pacino’s autobiography. Superb!
The monologue from "And Justice for all" is epic. "I have just completed my opening statement!"
Il look forward to seeing more of this young man career, looks promising.
Al pachino is and remains a legend in the world history of cenima globally... with ❤..
I could never decide who had the edge, Pacino or DeNiro, but now that DeNiro has lost his ever loving mind and acts like a complete nut job I will hand it over to Pacino. Al Pacino #1.

His last 10 min of the Devils Advocate in my opinion is the best acting I’ve ever seen.
You want a job? 😂🤣😅 LOVE THAT LINE! Loved it for decades now.
In an interview, Denzel stated that he studied Pacino (and DiNero for the nuances and subtlety they used in scenes!! 🙏🏿
Esas películas ya nunca más se harán, con actores de verdad, maestros!!!
Scent of a woman is the best Al Pacino role!!!!!!
Did you see that?
They all came naturally!
Incredible acting career❤
i hate it when people compare deniro to Pacino....because there is no comparison imo
Of all his great films, I think I like "Heat" the most. He also did a low budget gem called, "Stand Up Guys," a film I guarantee you will LOVE, especially if you like Chris Walken, his partner in crime.

💯‼️
The scene in Carlito was a set up from the beginning, they planned to kill John Ortiz before they arrived. The Scarface scene was played with Pacino being conscious of his pain from being shot the whole time - real method acting. He acted like someone who had been shot, sweating & exhausted.
I remember as a very young man sitting in the theater seeing Serpico wondering how anyone could reach that level of incredible acting.
"You wanna job, Ernie?" AMAZING how he just switches instantly
Pacino&DeNiro the best actors ever lived
And that’s why HEAT will always be a classic!
Deniro is a fucking Hollywood Scumbag!! Not even in the same class as Pacino!
Pacinos speech in this scene is brilliant!
Al Pacino was Excellent as Antonio Montana in Scarface aswell
Angels in America. It is TV but still, that acting earned him a Golden Globe
there’s no one like him. My fave was Dog Day Afternoon. Incredible.
Al Pacino... One of the greats!!!
It's rare we see this class act anymore.
Number 1 scene is the Sollozzo and McCluskey murder in Louis’ restaurant where Michael becomes a real man and we see a glimpse of the godfather to be.

"hey man, you got a job.." I never forget 😅
I know it’ impossibile to choose one movie but this is my fav..Al is terrific 🙌
pacino is one of the greatest actors ever
" I've been around, you know!" Mr. Pacino, scent of a woman.
I frequently quote this line😊
Imagine only four Oscars have been won between De Niro (2), Pacino (1) and Scorsese (1), that’s crazy.🤯
Al Pacino is so good in Carlitos Way. Such a brilliant actor.
Al Pacino was Excellent as Carlito Brigante a excellent film
Great montage but Ernie taking a large gulp of whisky was cut from the end. He needed that to calm his nerves.
Cut out one of the best parts from Carlito's way "OKAY IM RELOADED!! READY?! HERE COMES THE PAIN!!"
Scent of a Woman scene is the best; hands down.
nobody in hollywood creates more tension in a scene with simply his gaze 🤣
Carlito's Way is my favorite movie of all time. "You ain't a lawyer no more, you're a gangster now. You can't learn it in school and you can't start late".
