Anger management.

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

Oh god what a terrible film. At least he had the sense not to make a sequel unlike De Niro and Analyze This/That and Meet the Parents/Fockers. Three of my favourite actors who have almost destroyed their credibility with their recent output. Pacino's reduced to shouting, Jack is just in dreadful films now and De Niro is happy to do 'comedy'.

That's some abuse.

The soundboard for that is great.

Just an example of the different characters he's played.
The others probably better demonstrate his range.

Great actor but he hasn't been in anything decent since "Any Given Sunday" and that was 10 years ago.

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

K-pax though.
Hard to forgive that.

Whenever I hear about a new Al Pacino movie I get the scent of something else.

If you're going to pick a bad Kevin Spacey movie, at least aim for something really horrible. Like Ordinary Decent Criminal.

El Siglo · 22-08-2009 3:53pm

Al Pacino, is pretty good, Any Given Sunday and The God Father Trilogy, but I would have to put Paul Newman at the top. Just an all around brilliant actor.

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

theres no more good roles being written for them. and Im sure they want to avoid repeating old character types over and over.
jack nicholson is still doing good work, tho hes guilty of overacting in the past.

How the hell does someone manage not to see something with Al Pacino in it? Honestly, that's insane.

Although he's not the best. Toshiro Mifune on the other hand, if there could be a best, he'd be damn close.

Never heard of Carl Weathers? He played Dillon in Predator, and Apollo Creed in the Rocky films. For shame.

No, they're not. But what's wrong with gangster films? Some gangster films are among the very best films of all time, take Once Upon A Time In America for example.

What gangster films have you seen so? If you've never seen a film with with Pacino, that strikes some of the best off the list.

Oh dear, what are apartment prices like on the moon? :pac:

Go out right now and get hold of Once Upon A Time In America, it's one of the greatest masterpieces of cinema. I just cannot rate it highly enough. The music alone is something extremely special.

I think he was a great actor now he is just a parody of himself, a big joke really. De Niro is nearly worse, he will make any old crap these days. If you wan to see an older actor who has evolved and isn't afraid of playing a man of his age then Jack Nicholson is your man. He is of a type but there are times when he just blows my mind.

I see Nicholson and raise you Christopher Walken. He's done the few naff comedies as of late, but he's a damn fine actor. Probably the best thing about Catch Me If You Can.

Okay I was a little inebriated and spelt wrongly... I also dont think so passionatly about wanting to be him. Hang overs are sobering things,

I also prefer coke to Pepsi,McDonalds to Burger king and Angilina.
