Great classic movie with Pacino. A topic that was controversial at the time concerning murders in the homosexual underground.

You can get lost here in Conte world. Beautifully recorded with a very intimate sound that has the power to transport you smack in the middle of a Fellini movie. A good Felinni movie. I need to meet this man.

Pacino is outstanding, as usual.  His acting alone makes the movie worth seeing.  However, there's much more here, and that is the story of Jack Kevorkian.  The title is most appropriate, as it is clear that most of us had developed an incorrect notion of who this doctor was thanks to how he was portrait in the mass media.  It is true, "You Don't Know Jack," and this movie helps in closing that gap.

Fast Eddie Felton has returned to the screen under the great direction of Martin Scorsese. Eddie is much older now and has been retired from playing pool for some great time. He is lured back into the game when he discovers Tom Cruise a great pool player but not very bright on how he can use his talent to make it big. Newman becomes his mentor and introduces him and his girl to the game. They are a great team. I can't stand Cruise in this movie and it's more to do with the way his character is written than his acting. He was cocky, annoying and arrogant. Newman is great as always and certainly gives the best acting job in the movie. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio plays Cruise's girlfriend and she gives a great performance she is tough,smart and beautiful. I love The Hustler but I think one thing that was good about this movie was it's not depressing. The Hustler was a depressing movie but featured acting legends Jackie Gleeson, George C. Scott and Piper Laurie in top notch performances. Here we are given Eddie mentoring and getting back into the game he loved and had such a passion for. This movie is perfect for people who love to play pool. I have been playing pool with my dad for years. He prefers The Hustler over this movie but I like them both. Cheers!

Still a  very enjoyable film, if you can ignore Tom Cruise and the lame plot. Great carrier deck footage and music. Brief though it was, another outstanding performance by Meg Ryan. Loved the edgy wardrobe and haircut on Kelly McGillis. With its high-energy beach volleyball and beautiful so. Cal coastal scenes, this film is also a wonderful memento of the legendary NWS in its famous Miramar days. Having moved to the Nevada desert years ago, the school is now out of public view. No more standing near the freeway at NAS Miramar watching those gorgeous jets blasting to and fro.

The writer's style is engaging and his humor subtle.  I did get the feeling that this cruising adventure was quickly becoming a cruising guide.

Michael Mann's crime film masterpiece. Deniro and Pacino at their best. I highly recommend this film to anyone that is a fan of crime films.

This is one of those little-seen gems of '70s American cinema that always seem to pop up (although maybe it's no longer accurate to say this film is little-seen, since it's been on DVD for three years).  With films like this, it's always tempting to cry "lost masterpiece!" but in this case, while the movie is very interesting and worthwhile, to call it a masterpiece would be  hyperbole.  The chief pleasures derived from two hours spent with SCARECROW are (1) the fascinating interplay between actors Gene Hackman (doing a variation on the tightly-wound jerk we've seen him play many times) and Al Pacino (revelatory as a friendly drifter whose warmth and good humor is a far cry from the typical Pacino role) and (2) the gorgeous photography from master cinematographer Vilmos Zsigmond, a name that should be familiar to all fans of '70s cinema.  As Hackman and Pacino amble across American backroads, hopping trains and hiking through hills, Zsigmond's lens tints everything with a shade of magic.  The episodic plot sets the pair on individual personal journeys (Hackman wants success in business, Pacino wants a reunion with his family) as well as collaborative ones.  It is great fun to watch Pacino's warmth rub off on Hackman as he becomes steadily less grumpy.  Because this was the '70s and pessimism was the order of the day, the film ends on an ambiguously dour note, but what lingers for the viewer is the ramshackle charm and beauty of the film's pleasant meanderings.

Huge cast, cute movie. Al Pacino cannot sing which makes it all the more funny that he portrays a washed up singer trying to get his mojo back after decades of pleasing his geriatric fans with one hit wonders. Nice to watch a movie that has literally no swearing or violence.

Classic old movie which I had never watched up until Amazon Prime. I really enjoy a movie which will show you up front what the culmination of the action will be but yet take you through the story without giving you too many details as to why the ending comes out as it does. I find Al Pacino as one of the most convincing actors in most all of the roles he has played; especially Scent of a Woman. Great supporting cast, great storyline and great cinematography to capture the feel of the gritty side of the city.

Christopher Walken and Al Pacino - great chemistry in this flick. Really enjoyed this film more than I had expected.

I love this performance by Al Pacino - Frank Serpico said Pacino played Serpico better than he did himself. Clearly Pacino got Serpico's dry sense of humor down. It is interesting to see how as the movie progresses and things get intense and dangerous for him, Serpico's sense of humor and lighthearted energy is sapped but he holds true to his principles. To this day NYC cops are pissed that Serpico rained on their parade. I am grateful that he had the integrity to do so, and that he survived to continue to be an inspiration and a voice for justice in the world.

Five BIG Stars!!  A fascinating and frank look at Al Pacino in an article and essays, but mostly through interviews with one of his most cherished friends. Lawrence Grobel is an award-winning author and longtime trusted Pacino associate. Even so, he is a probing, persistent journalist who asks the tough questions. In the foreword, Al "forgives" him for this book. The introduction reveals Alfredo James (Sonny) Pacino as I would have never imagined him. Although this book is totally Pacino-centric, frank questions fly both ways in the series of interviews covering a period of over 25 years. Pacino's questions reveal as much about himself and the depth of their friendship as his answers. Full of personal insights and professional tidbits that heretofore were unknown, unless you read the articles and interviews in a previously published form over the decades, this is one book that ALL Pacino fans will want to read. After all, Al Pacino is a private person who usually keeps it that way.

In this book, we learn the impact of Charlie Laughton, among others, on Pacino. The inside scoop on plays, movies, and roles that could have happened but didn't. His saddest professional experience. The best young actor he ever saw. We also learn the true meaning of 'the show must go on' as Al shows incredible inner resolve during the Broadway run of the play "American Buffalo". I couldn't have done it, but I understand why he did it and he was right! He carves out some protective space regarding his women, while acknowledging them. And again what he won't divulge about them says alot about his character. But there is much more that he will discuss and it makes this book worth every penny of it's cost. Not a lot of verbal fat herein, this book is trenchant and to the point. Also included are 8 pages of photos from the almost obligatory baby picture to family photos to professional associates with Pacino and an ad announcing something that every Pacino fan will want when it's available. This is a deep look at the life and psyche of one of the world's greatest actors and it is very engrossing. Highly recommended!! Five ENGROSSING Stars.

Another excellent role by Pacino, brilliantly played.  And Robin Williams made an excellent 'villain' on the few occasions that he played one.
Good plot twists.
