Rant, incoming:

* Something like this - I'm not really good at this ..... it's all bullshit but often you see more of an actors greatness by how many you don't get and which ones too.........and he is even weirder than that:

Pacino - THE most awarded male actor, in filmed /stage performance history across all of those awards (Oscar, Emmy, Tony) - ever, regardless of country with 5 Triple Crown wins (bitches) - transcends mere Oscar nods by being so overwhelming with where he placed his most acclaimed those performances:

He is the only American GOAT among the big 4 (Brando, DePac, Nicholson) - who did work - in multiple projects too (!) - that rivalled his best film work - and he did it in 2 other mediums

Godfather II
Dog Day Afternoon
The Godfather
Serpico
The Irishman
Dick Tracy
Glengarry Glen Ross / Scent of A Woman
And Justice for All

1. Dog Day Afternoon
2. Glengarry Glen Ross
3. Serpico
4. The Godfather
5. The Irishman
6. The Godfather: Part II
7. Scent of a Woman
8. Dick Tracy
9. ...And Justice for All

1. The Godfather Part II - the greatest film performance ever.
2. Dog Day Afternoon - in the conversation for best film performance ever.
3. The Godfather - he does more with just his eyes here than most actors accomplish with their full bodies in their entire careers.
4. The Irishman - still able to pull off the vigor and energy of his younger years and his harmony with De Niro is otherworldly.
5. Glengarry Glen Ross - perfect matching the creativity of the language with his delivery and always in perfect lockstep with his scene partners.
6. ...And Justice for All - a bit of a sentimental fave as the material isn't great but Pacino is so incredibly rousing he elevated it to an Original Screenplay nomination.
7. Serpico - iconic work of tremendous intensity; the kind of movie that'd get shit on now for being too "woke."
8. Dick Tracy - a wonderful comic invention and great showcase for how to make a performance translate through the makeup rather than allowing the prosthetics to obscure the work.
9. Scent of a Woman - damn good fastball-down-the-middle performance and reliably quotable but really shines in quieter scenes like the famous tango.
