Best Al Pacino Crime Classic?

[StanScratch]

I like Scarface a lot, but The Godfather II beat it by far for me. It is rather fascinating to watch Vito's rise in power, as contrasting with Micheal's own life spiraling out of control, culminating in his order to kill his own brother.

The Godfather II

Love GFII and Carlito's Way but for sheer performance it's gotta be Scarface.

Serpico and Dog Day Afternoon don't even make the list? Dang. But I guess I wouldn't have voted for them anyway.

Scarface. The only one worth watching again and again on that list.

 

[mastagambit]

Scarface. That movie is pop culture forever.

All of them...

 

[lechepicha]

Heat for me.

you can't ignore that classic scene with Robert De Niro.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Why did you not include Gigli???? :cussing:

That is an American masterpiece and he knew the goldmine it would be if he jumped on that awesome train of cool and work of art!

Scarface

It's not on the list to choose from, but it's gotta be 'Dog Day Afternoon' for me!

I actually enjoy the music. It has that cheap 1980s tune to it and I especially love the sound of it on VHS. Ah. Good times :hatsoff:

Scarface ? This movie is actually bad, not even average, the only reason we remember it is because of the character and his quotes but it's far from being in Serpico or Dog Day Afternoon league, let alone Godfather's.

 

[Ray Ecks]

Donnie Brasco.

Godfather only because Coppola told the studio (among everyone else apparently) who refused to let Pacino play the role that he wouldn't make the movie if Pacino didn't play Michael.

Had he given in and given the role to Redford or Beatty or Nicholson like the studio wanted, none of those other movies would have been made. Props to Coppola for sticking to his gun and Pacino for proving him right!
