Serpico was a year after Godfather, and one of his better performances. DD Afternoon was slightly more overstated, but far from the hammy performance we have seen from Pacino since "And Justice for All" (Scent of a Woman being exhibit A).

Pacino's first role to attract critical attention was "A Panic in Needle Park", which was a year or two earlier than the Godfather. Interesting that I was IN the actual Needle Park referenced in said film today, and the worst thing that can happen to you there today is getting run over by an aggressive UWS mom with a stroller.

Is Needle Park in NYC? Yeah Al in Scent of a Woman was too much. I think I missed And Justice.

I must admit I am a big fan of Scarface. ;-) The shame.
