Al Pacino Movies, Ranked

Loud Eyes, Bigger Consequences

10 films, ranked on my own star ratings by Arwin Edward Bagaslao. Updated 2026-05-15.

An Al Pacino ranking from my watched films: loud eyes, louder choices, crime-family damage, and performances that can turn a normal room into a pressure cooker. Ranked by stars first, then by momentum, emotional consequence, rewatch pull, a

1. 1
   Heat (1995)

   ★★★★★

   Cute ni Natalie Portman and ang galing agad niya umarte kahit bata pa siya dito.

2. 2
   Insomnia (2002)

   ★★★★½

   I experience this as a tense psychological detective film where Nolan uses pacing, color, and performance to make me physically feel the character’s unraveling state.

3. 3
   The Godfather (1972)

   ★★★★½

   This watch clicked for me in a way it didn’t before.

4. 4
   Ocean's Thirteen (2007)

   ★★★★½
5. 5
   The Godfather Part II (1974)

   ★★★★

   The Godfather Part II shifts away from loud violence into quiet power plays, where conversations, looks, and decisions carry more danger than gunfire.

6. 6
   Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (2019)

   ★★★★

   A laid back and nostalgic Tarantino film that focuses more on atmosphere, character hangouts, and tension simmering beneath the surface rather than constant action.

7. 7
   Scarface (1983)

   ★★★★

   This feels like a raw, flashy rise and fall crime story carried by Al Pacino’s intense presence and a neon soaked Miami atmosphere.

8. 8
   House of Gucci (2021)

   ★★★★
9. 9
   The Godfather Part III (1990)

   ★★★½

   This feels like a story about legacy, aging, and the heavy cost of power.

10. 10
    The Irishman (2019)

    ★½

    It has the same vibes as Goodfellas, The Godfather, and The Departed with its mafia centered story and criminal world.
