scarface...pacinos,finest on screen performance..yes/no.

No

As there's now over a dozen responses from people which have generally been the same, I think it's safe to say the answer to the original question is a solid, undeniable NO.

As much as like Scarface, I definitely wouldn't call it Pacino's finest performance.

Scent of a Woman imo. Followed closely by Godfather 1/2 and Serpico.

Definitely not, sorry.

Scent of a Woman and Donnie Brasco are my faves.

While I think Pacino is laughably bad in Scarface, he's only marginally better in Scent of a Woman. Al at his hammiest. *ICK*

Really? Are you two Hoo-Haa-ing serious?

Aw, come on HK! Y u no like teh hoo haa?

The film's ok, I liked it, but best Pacino performance?

Donnie Brasco, Serpico, Godfather I & II, Dog Day Afternoon, The Merchant Of Venice, Frankie & Johhny, Glengarry Glen Ross, Cruising. I'd put any and all of those above Scent Of A Woman and there's a few others that I may also put above it, including Scarface.

I'll have to say no on his Scarface performance. His accent was too unbelievable for me. Now The Godfather (1 and 2), Scent of a Woman, and Serpico on the other hand...he deserves more credit for those when it comes to acting.

Besides the ones mentioned as his better ones so far, I really loved him in Donnie Brasco. That performance seemed pretty damned honest and complex and Lefty was almost tragic in a Shakespearean manner. I can't really see anybody caring what happens to Tony Montana.

That is an affirmative Honeykid. Also I forgot Donnie Brasco.
