I haven't seen True Romance in a while, but I'm pretty sure Pacino isn't in it

He is not in it. It has good actors in it, like Dennis Hopper. Pacino is not a good actor, outside of The Godfather.

He was good in The Devils Advocate and that movie where's the blind. Fuck I can't believe I forgot the name.

I felt that in Heat he was already channeling insane Pacino mode. I liked him in Donnie Brasco though. He actually had a subdued role. Johnny Depp was his usual awesome self too.

Scarface? Godfather? Donnie Brasco? Carlito's Way? Heat? And I've heard he was brilliant in Dog Day Afternoon

His role was very lax in LOTR. In the book Legolas didn't play a huge role either, but it was more prominent than in the movie. I loved the way Jackson gave Legolas all the coolest scenes out of the fellowship in TTT (the reverse grab of the horse in slo mo, and the shield surfing) and ROTK (killing the Mûmakil...despite the bad CGI at certain places)

But the scene that really blew me away is in FOTR where Gandalf tells the fellowship that a Balrog is in their presense; the quick shot of his horror strucken face is a brilliant homage to the book. That was the first and only time Legolas showed any fear throughout the entire journey. Of course in the book he literally goes mad for a bit ("Ai Ai!! A Balrog is come!")

No, aside from The Godfather, Al Pacino is only good at playing Al Pacino, similar to how Robert De Niro has been just being De Niro for the past decade or so.

You people do get points, however, for not dragging Scarface into this as evidence of his "talent."

Actually, alot of people realize what a piece of shit it truly is. Nowadays its mostly "gangstas" or wannabe surburban whites who praise the film.

Montana had some depth if you actually pay attention to the movie. There are a few scenes actually where another side of him is shown - such as his unwillingness to kill the UN reporter as he drove in his car with his children. Or his relationship with his sister

The only thing I remember about the Al Pacino scarface (haven't seen the original) is that the acting was probably some of the most horrible of any "classic" crime movie.

Al Pacino was awesome as Ricky Roma in Glengarry GlenRoss. True, it was another take on Al Pacino, but at least it was reasonably nuanced. And Al was awesome as Shylock in the recent "Merchant of Venice" remake (even though that movie was horribly shot.) He was great in Insomnia, too. He's a fuckin' quality actor, even if the variety of the parts he chooses is occasionally suspect.

Pacino, while guilty of hamming it up way too much, still has managed to take on some interesting roles over the years, and compared to De Niro's falling off, Pacino still looks like a god.
