Al Pacino is undisputedly one of the greatest actors alive. You can argue about it, but in the end his catalog of movies speaks for itself. While his movies in recent years may not be up to par with his earlier roles, Al Pacino has been making quality films and has starred in a number of classics.
The following films are my top five personal favorites starring Al Pacino.
Whether you choose The Godfather Part 1 or The Godfather Part 2 is completely your call, but one of these two films has to be on any list of Al Pacino's best movies. My personal preference is The Godfather Part 2, but to each his own. If you choose number 3, you should watch the first two again.
A more recent film of his that I feel the need to mention is Any Given Sunday. Now I am not the biggest Oliver Stone fan, but I found his depiction of professional football to be very entertaining. Pacino's "Peace With Inches" speech has become one of the more famous monologues in recent memory.
Another great film starring this incredibly talented actor is Heat. Also starring Robert De Niro, this film about bank robberies and bombs is directed by Michael Mann, and was the first movie in which these two legends are in the same scene together.
Another great film in which Al Pacino stars is the 1997 crime drama Donnie Brasco. This film also stars a young Johnny Depp as an FBI agent who infiltrates the mob, run by a very ruthless Al Pacino.
One other movie which I will mention is The Devil's Advocate. Also starring Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron, Al Pacino put on quote the performance as quite possibly the most evil lawyer we, as moviegoers, have ever seen on screen.
Hopefully there is one or more films on this list of this great actor's resume that you have yet to see.
