    I gotta agree OP,

    I have seen that film so many times and still I end up laughing and crying.

    His role as Michael Corleone in any of The Godfathers is a masterclass for any actor.

    But the sharpness and human vulnerability of his character in 'Scent of a Woman' had me in flood of tears tonight.

    Oh dear. I gotta toughen up.

    I used to think so, but nowadays he is fairly sh1t, as is Bob De Nero.
    Do love Scent of a woman though.

    He was brilliant in the first two Godfathers, Serpico, Scarface, Dog Day Afternoon but as he got older he just turned into a bit of a characature of himself, he completely lost that subtlety and understatement that he once had which is a real shame.

    Watched scent of a woman tonight myself, didn't think much of the film or his performance.

    Pacino in "Scent" is one of the most over-acted, over-rated performances ever. It borders on the embarrasing.

    I reckon this shows why you would watch that film and drink wine.

    I'm straight and don't want to be him, just for the record.

    Now, Kevin Spacey, there's an actor. Sometimes he does it by the numbers, but when he's good, he's good.

    While it's true that Jack Nicholson doesnt actually act it can be said that Al Pacino overacts in practically movie that he has appeared. He also likes a bit of an oul shout.

    Al Pacino was in the top three actors of all time until Scent Of A Woman. From that role on, he saw fit to shout his way through every role. I doubt Lee Strasberg taught him to do that !

    Loved Gil Jack Lemmon in Glengarry Glen Ross. Great ensemble cast although if you knew anyone who carried on like Pacino in real life you'd probably think they were an asshole.

    I wouldn't say that.

    About Schmidt vs
    Easy Rider vs
    A few good men vs
    As good as it gets vs
    Anger management.

    OK he's Jack but they're all pretty different characters.

    Yes.
    Character actor as far as i can see.

    Love him in "Meet the Parents".
    Doctor Bob or something like that. (?)

    Love his reactions to Greg (Ben Stiller) when Greg accidentally smacks your one with the volleyball in the Volleyball scene and Greg's crazy driving in the Race home scene.
