  1. I have enjoyed Al Pacino Movies very much. Sea Of Love was a very good movie, must have seen it at least six times. Good Acting. Heat with Robert DeNero was a very good movie with all the actors. I had hoped he would get away but alas he did not…having the two actors together was a good move. THANKS FOR THE PAGE.

  3. Good Morning Cogerson:

    I kinda like old Al. But it occurred to me as I read the hub that I really haven’t seen many of his movies. It also occurs to me that what I generally pay attention to is the overall movie. I don’t think I actually focus on the actor unless it is something I feel is truly outstanding. I really enjoyed “And Justice for All”, but it’s the theme of the movie that appeals to me. I remember the movie extremely well, but his acting…not so much. I’ll have to start paying more attention.:)

  4. Thank you for finally doing a Al Pacino page. He has been a favorite of mine since I saw Frankie and Johnny and Sea of Love. He is awesome in The Godfather movies and his performance in Scarface is legendary. Thank you again.

  5. Pacino is a fantastic actor when he’s on his game. Sometimes he has a tendency to go over-the-top, (Scarface) but he’s better when he’s a bit more restrained. His performances in “The Godfather” films and “Dog Day Afternoon” were terrific. I think his best performance in recent years was “Insomnia”. Actually, I don’t think the film he actually won a (long overdue) Oscar for–Scent of a Women–was among his best work. I think it was a case of Hollywood saying “We’ve never given Al an Oscar for all his great work so lets toss him a bone this year”. I’m glad he finally got his Oscar but I wish it hade been for one of his better performances
