No one rants like Al Pacino. And the topic matters little.
Ranging from potential prison sentences, a female’s derriere, the absence of
God, the losing of a real estate contract – there’s no subject that doesn’t get get
Pacino’s blood pumping. Some of the picks below are genuinely terrifying rants
executed to perfectly by a master thespians. Others are (or border on) being
parodies of themselves. Some are subtle, others are full tilt. Know what they
all have in common? Pure Pacino badassery.
Head over to Movie Mezzanine to view the list
Taken out of context, all of these are hilarious. Thank you for posting this. You always have such great list ideas.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Brittani! You're always so supportive of my lists, I really do appreciate it!
DeleteHim yelling about this guy being allowed to screw his wife but not watching his TV in Heat is legendary :) Love his rants so much!
ReplyDeleteAwesome that you included Scent of a Woman scene.
I love when he flips out at the guy that's been balling his wife. Heat really capitalizes on Pacino's rantability.
DeleteLOVE that Scent of a Woman scene.
Dog Day Afternoon is classic Pacino. Also glad that you included Scent of a Woman and The Merchant of Venice, which has basically been forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI've only seen The Merchant of Venice once, but it's filled with so many classic Al moments. People forget he started on the stage, you know?
DeleteYup Yup! That Any Given Sunday speech is awesome, like most Sports speeches in movies! And also loved that you chose that Devil's Adocate rant here. Awesome, innovative list.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy! His AGS speech is legendary, isn't it? Dude is such a madman, in the best possible way.
