What’s your favorite Al Pacino performance?
Heat
Dog Day
Dog Day Afternoon
Scarface.. it’s not a perfect performance more cartoony then real and there is problems with it .. but it’s iconic and he goes all out..
Dog Day Afternoon
Scarface is one of the best movies ever made.
Totally agreed
You know, I was never really a big fan. I loved Pacino’s early work and the old gangster films so I was really looking forward to watching the famed Scarface. But then watching it, and watching it again, it just never really clicked with me, not sure why🤔
@@slim9484 Maybe it's the setting? Miami, 80s, Cuban Tony?
There's people who prefer the original Scarface from the 30s/40s, in the original Tony was an Italian mobster in NY.
@@slim9484 you got bad tastes I guess. Maybe you should watch some LifetimeTV movies
and Not To Mention Carlito's Way.
I thought that might have been a real dunkin donuts commercial because I, as a sane and healthy human being, have never seen Jack and Jill.
DarkCaedus I was in a room where some people they was watching it .. I was there 10 minutes and left..
Smart move.
Oh thank God, so it doesn't actually exists.
thank God I never saw that film...
I only know of the commercial cause of a meme I saw...
I wished I was you. I was 13 when my life was ruined forever.
Pacino is a phenomenal actor, learning from him is the perfect thing to do
i keep seeing you in the comment sections of analysis videos whether it be anime or movie related content like this. you're a man of culture i see
Anthony S. He wanna smash you too
Jeez you are everywhere
"These were all impressions of actor Al Pacino. But you already knew that, didn't you? That's because Pacino has amassed a slew of iconic performances across a career that spans 7 decades."
*Glances at video title.*
:)
I don’t understand? Explaineth joke please sire
Scent of a woman and when he flips on his mom in Scarface while leaving the house. Such rage and intensity..I feel when I'm angry it comes out unintentionally
His performance as Carlito is super underrated, that was one cool mofo
Wolfy I agree!
Carlito's Way entire movie was underrated
Agreeed
True. That movie is buried under all the other more known films. People are missing out.
The movie itself is underrated
I really think his performance was short but very memorable in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Agreed.
If you want one of his best performances, watch The Irishman; him as Jimmy Hoffa was absolutely perfect and highlights this video. Awesome video, Adam.
Thanks Bren!
Bren That ones good but ScarFace is his best performance
Dog days afternoon
@@cyclops9750 Godfather part 2 is the best one.
@@Smile-wd6rz you need to count Godfather part 1 too. Both films combined you get the full potential of Als talent
I always lose it when Pacino starts throwing around the phone in Scarface.
Scarface is my personal favorite movie, his performance is so over the top but also justified by the character's background
No actor can get as close as Al When it comes to being angry and shouting.
I think joe Pesci is way more intimidating when he yells and has that rage in his eyes
@@tonytheslugger nope, not a chance.
And even swearing and speaking Spanglish
His dancing skills on that dunking donuts commercial are outstanding. How can such an old man like him move with such energy?
I wonder too.
I feel like he takes care of his health very well. Plus he’s dancing in almost every movie he’s in 😂
I will always see him as him as laughing of himself in that movie... and saving for retirement.
I love how Pacino can portray righteous anger shouting in a courtroom to coked up rage mowing down henchmen with an AR
Scarface was perfect the way it was, and so was Al Pacino in it.
Scarface was perfect because of those great actors new & old.
Agreed. Scarface is a masterpiece
That pause in the Irishman is a memory slip... but only a great actor like Pacino could get away with and still make the scene work!
Wow, really? Had no idea, thought was in the script or sth... amazing actor.. in love with him forever
I don't think that is confirmed. It's my suspicion too, but he played it off perfect. That scene is iconic imo, because of it!
You missed Donnie Brasco, Al showed a different side in that film
Yes, a more quiet intensity and also a guy at the bottom of his hierarchy, not a big shot like he usually plays.
@@marcinjaskolski2824 Dokladnie
You failed to mention his debut, Panic in the Needle Park which is still his most haunting performance on film.
He was also great in Chinese Coffee during what you call his bad period which he directed himself.
Honestly one of my favorite roles of his! It’s one of the best films depicting junkie life during the “old times”
Yeah dude. Very touching performance.
LOOOOVEEEEEEEEE THAT MOVIE MAN! Haunting asf
Ankit Sethi that wasn’t his debut Me Natalie was
I would have been upset if you didn't mention the Dunkaccino.
Can't leave that out.
"Jack Nicholson: the art of the anger"
"Al Pacino: the art of the yelling"
"Nick Cage: the art of the freakout"
That departed rat scene
His acting in the "It's summer" scene works better as a de-aging tool than all the de-aging CGI in the movie
I remember watching that scene and feeling like I was seeing him again for the first time
Insomnia and the devil's advocate have to be his most underrated movies

Wait was he in once upon a time?
@@jeellescas7938 he was the producer who offered Leo's character a role in a Italian western
my favourite Al Pacino performance ever of all time is in Dog Day Afternoon. but i am very much in love with him and have been for most of my life so it's difficult not to rattle off a list of others.
i do want to point out-- in his defense-- that appearing in that horrendous piece of shit Jack And Jill financed the project where he truly indulged in artistic reckless abandon, his totally gorgeous exploration: Wilde Salome, an experimental documentary of Oscar Wilde's controversial play Salome. I think in some cases it's the pound of flesh he has to give away to get back the freedom to do his passion projects.
tony montana and michael corleone have the exact opposite characters it's literally unbelieveble that they're played by the same actor. everytime i watch scarface i'm being awed by the knowledge that tony is al pacino.
I would never wish to forget any performance that was given by the legendary Mr. Pacino.
De Niro may be diversified, however, Pacino has so much more devotion and talent when he is playing a character.
I understand that the amount of "loud performances" might feel tedious but like you said, an actor is only as good as the material given. People often overlook the movies where Pacino wasn't set up for loudness. Cruising, Frankie and Johnny, Danny Collins (which you did mention), and a few others. He made those quiet movies before, after or in the same years as the loud movies. There are even quiet scenes in the movies he's criticized for because THOSE scenes were meant to be quiet, not loud. Jack Nicholson, Leo DiCaprio, Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis have all yelled a ton in their movies, too. Maybe that's just how their scripts and characters were written, they're still great at what they do. If Pacino had more quiet scenes in Godfathers 1 and 2, displayed anger without yelling, someone could easily say that he didn't have to yell in the Godfather 2 clip shown at 2:35 of this video. After he slapped Kay, he could've just walked away quietly instead of yelling, "YOU WON'T TAKE MY CHILDREN!" Also, before hearing about Kay's abortion in Godfather 2, he told her that he has the strength to change. So what happened in Godfather 3? He changed. He's not "the same Michael as before" because of old age and character development. He was also having a diabetic stroke AND just saw his daughter killed in front of him in those Godfather 3 clips in the video. I'm not sure why either of those would be considered overacting. It's easy enough for moviegoers to nitpick but I think that it sometimes comes off as a lazy and unfair observation. This is all just my opinion, though. I do, however, agree with you on Jack And Jill. There will never be a sensible excuse for that piece of, um... Film(?)
One of my favorite roles of his, is when he played a junkie in “Panic aim Needle Park”
Al pacino can entirely be translated by The HEAT .
JUST LEGENDARY.
By far my favorite actor. In Justice For All was original , surprisingly hysterical, and classic Pacino Drama. " You're out of order!!! :
No mention of The Insider. One of my favorite 90's Pacino rolls.
Interesting take on the topic. He's definitely one of the best!
Thanks!
Pacino earned all his acting achievements in the first few years of his carrier and the rest is just bonus for the audience
great video man!
Thanks!
He started getting #typecasted .... Every film director seen how he acted and scarface and were like "whatever u did in scarface we need you to do here"... 70s al pacino is almost like a different person tbh
the king of freak outs 🙏
Funnily enough I never thought of Pacino in a TV capacity but I’d also point out that his performance in Hunters is a perfect mirror of that trajectory you speak about. That passion and ranting comes out in some episodes, in others there is a subdued intensity that shapes the scene and the characters around him. And he navigates those two ends of the spectrum beautifully in the series- would highly recommend it to everyone
You forgot Pacino is also a filmmaker, his last pet project was a double feature of Salome and a Documentary about the Oscar Wilde play which gave us one of my favorite actors: Jessica Chastain... Thanx!!!
He is not Al Pacino he is Tony Montana 😎
I think the gr8 or best actors connect to the script or story so deeply that everything they do in front of camera is absolutely real
Godfather part 3 was a masterclass from Andy Garcia and Pacino in acting that anger was perfect for the situation
Some of my favorite of his modern performances are in the Irishman and hunters.
I guess im the only one who loved Al in Jack & Jill. Al Pacino playing an over-the-top serious version of himself was brilliant.
Pacino's known for explosive characters but his most revered role is the cold Michael Corleone. De Niro is known for subtlety but his most revered role is the raging Jake LaMotta
Love this man he’s a legend
Fork me,you are an analytical genius whoever made this video and voiced over.
A superb video based on facts!
Coincidentally my two favorite Pacino portrayals are Lefty in Donnie Brasco and Carlito in Carlitos Way, which both are very quit and not over the top, but I still love his performances in movies such as Heat, the scene where he finds he's nearly dead stepchild is just amazing
Al Pacino is one of the best actors . He can literally play anything . Cuban, Italian , American ect . He's just so legendary .
I don’t speak much inglish but i love Al Pacino and i see all the movies in inglish whit subtitles obviusly and i love your video bro, im mexican
Great montage
Material. I think that's at the heart of everything. Literally, everything.
My man Al better be here for a long time.
He was great as Roy Cohn in Angels in America miniseries
i love this review as to me it is spot on.
He is one of my favorite actor
Love this one. There are so many Al Pacino movies I still need to see...
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
pacino in the irishman was his best role
Pacino said that in the start of his acting i mean theather he do comedy, and he always can be hilarious even in some scenes of serious movies like And Justice For All, Scarface, Scent Of Woman & The Irishman.
And of course the "Burn this!" in Jack And Jill, also he is hilarious in The Humbling.
Случайно наткнулся на твой контент, интересно в плане подачи всего слушать одно удовольствие. one more viewer from Russian!
Great material! Maybe next movie would you make about Joe Pesci - another master of anger?
It’ll just be a supercut of him cursing in the two Hole Alone videos.
Insider is underrated Pacino. Sort of a throwback to his role in And Justice for All.
It’s ironic because Coppola originally didn’t want Pacino to play Michael in The Godfather because he thought he was too calm for the character.
Not true, Coppola wanted him Even tho Paramount didin't
Actually he was the only one that wanted Pacino in the movie
Wrong. Paramount did not want pacino and coppola was the one who fought for him
The best part is when Scarface be fighting with that phone saying “what you think I am a fucking bellboy” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hoo-ha'd his way to the top. Keep on rocking short king.
Hoo-ah!
beautiful video
"7 decades of acting..."
Wait... He's 79 now. He started when he was 9 years old?
Huuahh indeed!
He started in the '60's and now it's the 2020's. Sounds longer because he started at the end of the '60s and we've only now just reached the 2020's.
@@EntertainTheElk Yes, so it's been a little over 5 decades of acting and not 7.
A career that spans seven decades. 60, 70, 80, 90, 00, 10, 20. Those are seven different decades.
@@EntertainTheElk Yes, when you put it that way, it comes out to 7 decades. All I did was take 2020 and subtract 1967 (the start of his career) from that and it came out to 53, which is why I had concluded it to be a little over 5 decades.
Entertain The Elk you counted wrong even with that logic. 60s to 70s only counts as 1 decade not 2. 60-70 is only one decade. 60 -70 70-80 80-90 90-00 00-10 and 10-20 is only 6 decades. Pacino’s birthday is coming up so in april, his carreer span will reach 6 decades to count the 10-20 span decade
I loved his performance in The irish man
I love he's performance in Angels of America and You don't know jack..
no one:
literally no one:
al pacino:DuNkAcCiNo
I really love Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon.
Nice vidio mang.
Insomnia is Al Pacino's most underrated role.
no one talking about his performance in hunters tho
He is not performing but he is living in the character
I LOVE Pacino but really dislike Heat. I think you hit on some reasons why. His performance in Glenn Gary Glenn Ross was awesome though.
The goat 🙌🐐
My favorite actor
Love his movies 🎥
Godfather is my all time fav movie.And Michael is all time fav character.
Are you trying to imply that Pacino's yelling outbursts aren't amazing? I like his quiet roles too but if I had to choose I would go SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND or YOU'RE OUT OF ORDER or I'M A FAN OF MAN any day!
Got Scarface on my 5th Birthday and played the game when I was 4. I love Al and Antonio Montana. SAY GOODNIGHT TO THE BAD GUY
Sea of Love, Panic in needle park, his stage performances . you're missing stuff
Vincent Hanna is amazing. Nuanced and perfect for him.
A few seconds in and I'm dying of laughter because of the word 'mubi'
Love the video- any idea what the film is at 4:33?
al pacino is the greatest actor of all time and no one can change my mind
I love the way Al pacino acted on Heat 1995! (watch it my dudes) He really fits the part of a flamboyant lt.
Im not saying the video didn't show me how pacino playing angry but i am saying it was too brief. I did liked the video anyway tho you did a great work👍
How could you have impressions at the intro but not include Bill Hader’s? His are the best!
thank s
Godfather 1 & 2, Dog day afternoon and Scarface MANNNGG! ☺️
Legend
Greatest actor
such rage
All time great
I think there’s symbolism Tarantino is aware of in Pacino being in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
His performance was very understated in The Godfather. I agree that his early performances had more to them. He seems to have a pre-gravel and Post gravel phase of his career, lol.
Not really underrated since it’s his most famous role(that and Scarface, debatable) and the godfather is considered one of the greatest films ever made.
@@alainwalker5177 underSTATED, not underrated. What I mean is that his performance is quiet. The character isn't a big yeller or overexpresses too much and on the rare occasions when he does it has more impact. I wasn't a big fan of Scarface. I prefer his Michael Corleone performance.
@@robsmoviecollection3715
Oh ok gotcha, lol sorry I just misread I guess. I agree with you 100 percent Godfather is much better than Scarface.
@@alainwalker5177 No worries. Michael Corleone casts a long shadow. Though nothing can top his performance in Adam Sandler's Jack and Jill! (I am soooo kidding!)
I love Pacino! I’ll go to a movie if the guys 100. He’s incredible
How to act angry, don't act. Deliver from genuine emotion in a character.
