Out of what I've seen, Heat is the best. One of my personal favorites as well.

I also enjoyed Donnie Brasco and The Insider, but they're not his finest work, certainly not his best performances.

[Voodoodoll]

Insomnia for me, although in general I'm not a big fan of his movies.

[Damned Martian]

Best movie: Insomnia 10/10
Best performance: Donnie Brasco

My Favourite Actor of all time!

My Favourite Movie of his is: THE GODFATHER SAGA.

My Favourite Performance of his is: DOG DAY AFTERNOON

[Scarface98.9]

If I'm not allowed to say Godfather trilogy (:(), then I'll say Scarface. No matter how much I think that movie was overrated, he was great in the role. I have yet to see Dog Day Afternoon though

[The Claw]

from that list, Serpico.

I liked Scent Of A Woman the most though. I liked Insomia, and I havent seen Scarface in a long damn time. I havent seen any others, I must catch up.

[Strider]

I'm going with "Heat". I think this is a great film, and it's one of my all-time favorites.

Strider

[Dietrich]

I specified 'other' too, and even went with the same choice: The Devil's Advocate.

[Sugar Magnolia]

Dog Day Afternoon

[Reagan]

I love the guy and his career speaks for itself. Some of the greatest movies of all time. Outisde of the Gadfather, my favorite movies are probably Heat, Insider and Dog Day Afternoon.

But, the Al Pacino performance that has stuck with me the most, is Lucky from Donnie Brasco. Pacino played a loser and it broke my heart when he knew Donnie had duped him. I thought this was a great performance.

[MickeyKnox]

Dog Day Afternoon-10/10
Scarface-10/10
Insomnia-10/10
Carlito's Way-9.2/10
Donnie Brasco-9/10
Heat-9.1/10

[Hannibal21]

Scarface. A disturbing yet really powerful film that I would not want to see again, but I cannot deny the fact that the movie is GREAT!

[Mick]

Dog Day Afternoon - 8/10
The Insider - 4/10 (Looked great, had good performances but was just so damn boring)
Heat - 7.5/10
Glengarry Glen Ross - Haven't seen it
Scarface - 9/10
Serpico - Not seen this either, just kill me now.
Insomnia - 6 or 7/10, need to rewatch it
Donnie Brasco - 8/10
Carlito's Way - 8/10

[PrettyInPink]

I went for Carlito's Way. Out of the ones i have seen that was my favourite.

[sleekproductions]

Heat, an underrated masterpiece.

[Deckard]

No one thinks - William Friedkin's CRUISIN warrants a mention in Pacino's top 10?????

Easily one of his best and most full on charecterization's....PANIC IN NEEDLE PARK is also IMO one of his ten best.....

My personal fave is SCARFACE and DOG DAY AFTERNOON

[Moviejunkie]

"say hello to my little friend"

[freakandgeek]

for me that was way too easy!!


SCARFACE!
