Total Recall: Al Pacino's Best Movies

by Jeff Giles | Thursday, Jan. 31 2013

Summary

It may not be getting much critical love at the moment, but this weekend's Stand Up Guys has at least one thing going for it: An expertly seasoned cast that includes Alan Arkin, Christopher Walken, and Al Pacino. They've all made plenty of great films -- in fact, you can check out our countdown of Walken's best movies right here -- but seeing those names together made us realize that we've never dedicated a list to the mighty Pacino filmography, and we knew we had to take this chance to repent. Join us, if you will, for a stroll through a world where one of the greatest actors of his generation always lived up to his greatest potential, and movies like 88 Minutes and Jack and Jill never happened. It's time for Total Recall! Back to Article

You wasted 2 good space for great films filling in with "Scent of a Woman" and "Insomnia". Were are "Scarecrow"? "Dick Tracy"? "Carlito's Way"? "Cruising"? This list is bullshit!

Frankie and Johnny? And Justice for All? He also made a great devil!

Where the hell is Heat?! You could easily replace Scent of A Woman or Insomnia (after all it's a remake).

I was a projectionist when screening HEAT i felt it would be one shift screening this overlong film. THE DEVILS ADVOCATE and GODFATHERS the best from this great actor.

I can't argue on the Films but I would look at tweaking the order possibly...It would not be a heartfelt tussle though as this guy really made American films fun ...and very well acted...he seemed to really drag timing and passion out of the most shallow pin-up idols playing off him...well worth a read and follow-up argument ...
