It’s spooky season and even though these aren’t Halloween movies to get you into the spooky spirit, they are scary movies you’ll enjoy this time of year. Alfredo James Pacino, commonly known as Al Pacino, is famous for his intense and explosive acting style. He has given the movie world so much with a career spanning over five decades. So, it is close to impossible to come up with a list of the best five Al Pacino movies; however, we did our best to compile such a list, and the results were as followed:
Heat
Many would argue that this 1995 crime film is one of the best heist drama movies ever. We don’t want to take away anything from the plot and all the terrific action scenes; however, we have to admit that a lot of the movie’s success has to be attributed to the superior performance of Al Pacino.
You Don’t Know Jack
A movie for real-life drama lovers. In You Don’t Know Jack, Al Pacino succeeds in the excellent portrayal of Dr Jack Kevorkian, an advocate for assisted suicide in the United States.
Scent of a Woman
After being nominated multiple times, in 1993, Al Pacino won his first Best Actor Oscar. It was for his role in Scent of a Woman, depicting Lt. Colonel Frank Slade: A lonely and blind war veteran who changes the life of a Boston Prep School senior. If there ever was a performance worthy of an Oscar win, then it was definitely this one.
The Godfather
The Godfather trilogy is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. It picks itself when compiling a list of Al Pacino’s best movies.
Scarface
Say Hello to my little Friend! Filled with unforgettable quotes that will stay with you for the rest of your life, Al Pacino gives another astounding performance in this 1983 American crime drama classic.
We hope you don’t crucify us for leaving some of his great works out, but we tried to limit the list to only our personal favorites. Let us know in the comments below what you think we missed out, and what would your list of the best Al Pacino movies look like.
