The Godfather trilogy, Scarface, Donnie Brasco, Scent of a Woman and all the movies Al Pacino is a living legend

Al Pacino is more humble than a humble pie. I have hope for humanity.

those shining eyes that beautiful smile his gentle walk the charismatic body language and expressions and this unique voice I love you Al, the Godfather of Acting

An acceptance speech doesn't get much more genuine than that. A great man and a truly iconic actor.

Al pacino is one of the good guys in Hollywood. The fact he didnt win an oscar in the 70s for all his outstanding work is seriously a very perplexing thing. The 2 godfathers, serpico , dog day afternoon justice for all. Just unreal.

Greatest actor of all time.

Al is such a humble guy, he's the best ever in my opinion because I've never seen him in his characters, he becomes them completely.

This touches my heart I forgot how much I love Al Pacino as an actor I don't know him personally but he seems like the real thing

Damn. Like, this dude deserves at least 5 Oscars.

How can you not love that man. The beauty about him is that he is just the way you see him he is. A friendly, lovely, down to earth gentlemen that I had the pleasure to meet! God bless

I have a story about this wonderful person. He was my idol since I was very young. I was in NYC in 1999 for a business function and I heard that Al Pacino was performing on Broadway. I decided to stay an extra night and buy tickets to the the play. It was an amazing experience to see him perform LIVE. One of my favorite aspects of his talent is when he gets very angry and shouts his lines. Let me tell you, he did it several times in this play and I was in awe. Anyway, at the end of the play, I walked out of the theatre and there were plenty of people waiting outside. I realized that even if I decided to join the crowd, I would be nowhere near him as it must have been 10 feet wide either side. There was a car waiting on the street and I , assuming it was his car, approached the driver and asked if there was any way to meet Al as I wanted him to sign the Playbill. The driver told me to walk to the next intersection and if the traffic light turned red, he'd stop the car and Al will sign the Playbill. I didn't have much confidence in what he was saying but I decided to go ahead with his suggestion and walk to the next intersection. Sure enough, the car arrived at the intersection with a red traffic light, I approached the car and the window dropped and Al smiled and signed the Playbill. What a humble and kind human being. I'll never forget that 5 seconds I spent standing next to Al Pacino.

Al's smile is always uplifting.

"Talking about me... me... whatever that is.." says Al Pacino in his speech. Oh, God! What an actor, what a man, what a great, great spirit! Already a legend! Love you from the bottom of my heart, Al Pacino!

Michael Corleone's still right there !

All that talent and great acting and the man remains totally humble, never forgetting where he came from, class all the way. You killed it Al!

That shoutout for his mentor and friend Charlie Lawton really got me. Pacino is the man.

Good job Sean for not telling Al's story "never give up your friends Dave"

Such a down to earth humble guy, so handsome. He doesn't look like hes 67 here, looks younger than that. I always love his speeches

The man is a legend and his hair is always impeccable.

When Al Pacino speaks, every actor and artist listen, simple as that.

Amazing , .......Pacino doesn't know how great he is . A shy man, full of insecurities , meek, mild, humble , grateful . Al please know how great you truly are , you leave all the so called "great" actors for dead , and that includes Brando who was very good , but YOU were, and are, ..... even better than him . You are simply the best .

Know this is an Actor. Al Pacino the best actor in Hollywood and the World. Love you Al Pacino saw everyone of your movies. No one in Hollywood holds a candle to you.

Put me in tears everytime! My favorite actor!!! RESPECT!

He's so down to earth.

His speech in the movie "Scent of a Woman" at the school was magnificent.

One of the Greatest actors on stage and screen of our Age.

Al Pacino is the 'GREATEST AMERICAN' actor ever in my eyes.... and now that I view this littleclip, so is SENN PENN.... Love these dudes FOREVER!

Al Pacino thank you for all the years during which you have given us such beautiful moments.

Movie icon for sure. A true legend and a gentleman as well.

What an actor! What a man! What a human being! Everyone speaking at this ceremony just shared the same thought: he is a humble and honest person. This is by far one of the AFI's best choices ever made.

What a beautiful man

the best actor of the entire millenium

Probably the best actor's acceptance speech i have ever heard.

what an icon... did ya'll noticed the background music when Al walking to the stage? its so Italian ... :-)

Sean Penn introducing Al Pacino...perfection. 💝

The best actor

You can tell how much Al is LOVED - just by that standing ovation. Even over youtube you can feel that energy He deserves all that & more - just the way he pours his heart into every role making it come alive

I can only name a handfull of other actors who come close to Al Pacino's talent. How he can remain so humble after the legendary career he's had is beyond me.

2019 and Mr. Pacino still one of the few greatest humble actors of all time.💜💜💜

Such an honest, brilliant, great man! I don't have words to describe him. Such humility and modesty is SO rare to find in a man who is a symbol of Classy Hollywood not only in the West but all over the world. No wonder he brings such depth of emotion to his character! He is a class apart indeed! God bless you Al! Lots of love!

Pacino; The most charismatic and generous actor in the world is going to turn 70 in a week... Unbeliveble! I would realy love to meet him one day.

Al knows nothing but acting. He lived and lives for that. You can see him how much he loves acting when someone talks about his acting or he was awarded. His eyes lit up with smile in his face and still humble and feels shy always.

Most diversely talented actor ever; beautiful inside and out. A phenom.

My favourite personality, not only a legendary actor but also a beautiful human being inside out. Very humble and genuine! rare view in Hollywood.

Al Pacino is so humble. I appreciate him from my heart! I'm a big fan of him from Hong Kong.

Nothing more admirable than a humble person, despite their own greatness. My favorite actor. Thank you sir for sharing your talent with us all through your work.

3:52 R.I.P. We miss you so much!..

How is he 81 this year 🤯 One of my favourite actors, such a inspiration, an idol of mine

love al pacino absolute legend :)

It would be so tough not to love the wonderfully humble Al Pacino

He is so humble. Good that he mentioned FF Coppola. He should mention him even if he didn't talk about his mom, because FF Coppola is the reason that lead him to that stage.

I was blessed beyond measure to see Al Pacino in two plays in New York about 30 years ago. One was a 2 man show, with Ben Gazarra, & the other was Salome. I've never seen anything that comes anywhere close to that kind of incredible talent in person (except when I saw Andrea Bocelli sing -- I think they're a tie! LOL). Pacino was MESMERIZING. This acceptance speech was so genuine & heartfelt & if it's even possible, it made me love Al all the more. Can't believe it's been ten years since this was made, but I'm glad I'm finally seeing it now. :) P.S. I was/am such a fan of Al Pacino that my dog was named Pacino and my cat Serpico. :)

More than a humble and gratefull person is a legend alive!!! AL PACINO

"I'M A FAN OF MAN!" and I have always been, and always will be a huge fan. Starting all the way back to a Dog Day Afternoon. Love you Al! 😎👍

Clear thoughts despite his overwhelmed feelings of gratitude. An inspiration indeed.

Happy 80th birthday Al, you incredible legend. Thank you for all that you've given us.

It's amazing how Pacino often tells a story from which we can all learn something from it. Amazing actor and person!

Im crying he talked with all of his emotions, think it has something to do with family. But a true actor and gentleman, actors love and respect him.

That's called a true Respect. What a journey of life. Respect.

AL PACINO IS ONE of a very, very few who can take a disastrous movie, play, or show into a Great Experience! Thx to AP.

This is one exceptional human being , who’s beyond talented just great always the best ♥️

If Al Pacino dies, movies die

One and only Al Pacino. He is a legend forever🔝 👑

I've always Love Al Pachio. After seeing how thankful he is love him more congrads Al u the best

Al pacino climbed up the ladder of life with great success became a number one amazing actor but still climbed down the ladder and still humble as hell and real

Sean has been outstanding and underrated so often but He is just so fine a man and so great in this tribute. I respect him all the way!

Al Pacino is my favorite actor tied with Laurence Fishburne. I fell in love with his acting when I saw his performance in Serpico.

The great Al Pacino. My favorite actor.

sweetest smile ever? I think so. love Al Pacino.

7:36 that's from his heart no acting there it just made me cry

Sure Brando was great but PACINO was beyond and without equal.

Wow! great actor...beautiful Acceptance Speech.

Defenetively the most generous actor, most charismatique, most adorable and among the most gifted actors ever... Love you AL.

"Scent of a Woman" will forever be my favorite Al Pacino movie.

Al has touched 3 generations within my family…my mother, me, and my daughter. 💕

Staring into the subway glass doors, got me, he really was made to do what he did, Thank you Al

Such an amazing and overwhelmed speech ❤️

One of the best acceptance speeches ever! So humble and so grateful... He is a supreme master!

Mastermind, genius, incredible awesome great actor and personality...Who would not like to say hello to his little friend...

RESPECT! RESPECT! MR. AL PACINO IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE!!

Truly my favorite actor

The greatest actor I've ever seen

Al Pacino has always pored himself into each roll he's played. I know I'm being entertained when I forget I'm in the theater. This is the caliper of actor that does exactly that.

Such a beautiful man, damn I love Al Pacino!!!

That Scarface performance, amazing. The portrayal of the gradual downfall of Montana is a masterclass.

What a humble man!!

A Speech from the heart and Soul

after watching this and remembering all those great roles Al Pacino had over the years, I was driven to tears. A true class act...

What a class act!!!!

I love u Al. You've been my crush, and always will be, since i watched you in 'Dog Day Afternoon' . Ya Sean Penn is right, the greatest thing you gave to us is your privacy and I respect you for that. Hope to watch you in More movies.

He definitely conveyed his appreciation. It seems like Al Pacino isn’t used to playing Al Pacino.

Why I'm crying omg u just touched my heart deeply I love u

i love him so fucking much

What a total icon!!!

Al Pacino, living legend.

AL Pacino, aka Micheal Corleone from the Godfather, has truly become an institution himself. Humble, dedicated, determined and above all a great Artist. Salute.

the great Al pacino🙏👏👏👏👏

Very generous to share this, and the Godfather trilogy. I knew that took a tremendous amount of time and effort. Bless you.🤠

Al’s acceptance talk stirs deep emotion and made me cry. God continue to lead , bless and protect him.
