Scarface

A film by one actor starring a young, fiery Al Pacino, which became the foundation of this masterpiece. For almost 40 years, film critics around the world have argued that no one else could have played the uncompromising Tony Montana better.

Scent of a Woman

An atypical picture for Al Pacino, who usually plays criminal figures, earned him an Oscar and became one of the best works in his filmography. The plot follows a blind colonel who decides to take the last pleasures out of life and teach a young lad to love women.

The Devil's Advocate

In this film Al Pacino demonstrated an amazing ability to work on screen with his partner, who turned out to be a young Keanu Reeves, even before The Matrix. The plot follows Al Pacino's character, who takes on a young law student and reveals to him all the riches of his unique life experience.

The Godfather

The crime trilogy, famous across generations, needs no introduction. Even if you haven't seen The Godfather, you have surely heard about it more than we could tell you in a single paragraph. Undoubtedly one of Al Pacino's best roles.

The Irishman

Martin Scorsese's modern film, with an already aged Al Pacino and other stars of the crime genre, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, tells the story of a hitman in the service of the mafia. One of the best pictures of 2019 and in Al Pacino's filmography.
