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.

....These men dont make a bad picture. In fact, they can carry a bad script by themselves, and make a bad movie "good enough"......

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 :wink: ...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..... :?: :lol:

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.
