I have a confession to make.
I'm in love with the 1975 incarnation of Al Pacino.
I know what you're thinking - long-distance relationships are hard, especially when the distance is temporal - but, I'm here to tell you that it's all worth it.
I first fell in love with his beautiful face
As a mobster, hippie cop, and guy in a race
But the main one for me is no lawyer or gangster
It's the bank robber, original prankster
1972 - The Godfather
1973 - Serpico
1974 - Godfather II
1975 - Dog Day Afternoon
Al Pacino, Al Pacino, Al Pacino
I'm in love with Al Pacino
Of course with that said, now I have to admit
That I've seen a million movies but the only ones that stick
Are Heat, Scent of a Woman, even Ocean's 13
And with all the actors in the world there's only one for me
'77 - Bobby Deerfield
'79 - And Justice For All
A flawless decade of good cinema
Surprised who my favorite actor is?
It's
Al Pacino, Al Pacino, Al Pacino
I'm in love with Al Pacino
Let's break it down!
It's true I'm not as loyal as I could be
I didn't see Jack & Jill, but can you blame me?
And I haven't seen Scarface, I guess that's a crime
But you must consider this constitution of mine
I can’t handle violence, the blood’s too distracting
But I will make exceptions for the sake of fine acting
I guess what it comes down to is - crime thriller or slapstick -
If Alfred James is in it, it'll be fantastic
Let's get back to the chorus!
Al Pacino, Al Pacino, Al Pacino
I was just kidding about the Jack and Jill thing! Sorry.
And I will watch Scarface someday when I have emotionally prepared myself.
I'm in love with Al Pacino
