Yes, I suppose "untalented" is a poor descriptor. I mean, these guys got through the ranks to get the big screen shot, so obviously they all have talent to one degree or another. You are right.
I withdraw untalented.

Also better add Mel Gibson to the list. Powerful, powerful actor.

I guess that must be what the makers of "Gigli" were counting on when they had Pacino play a bit role in the film! :P (btw, what in the heck was Al thinking when he agreed to be in that one!?!?!).

Actually, to be fair, I haven't seen Gigli (and doubt I ever will since it's probably going straight to betamax rather than dvd ...okay, so I guess that wasn't too "fair" of me, was it!), so I can't say firsthand whether or not Al saved the day (or rather, saved the movie) in that one. But judging from all the critical acclaim and ticket sales.....

Hey, just kiddin' Eightball. I hear ya man.....normally, anything Al or Bob star in is golden (or at least silver or copper) and worth seeing at least once. I can't wait to buy the new 20th anniversary edition of Scarface coming out tomorrow!

To add to the movie list, a few other notable gangster flicks no one has mentioned yet:

Once Upon A Time In America
On The Waterfront
Miller's Crossing
Mean Streets


All worthy viewing for fans of the genre.
