"Get me some John Daniels." "Don't you mean Jack Daniels?" "He may be Jack to you, but when you've known him as long as I have..."

"Excuse me?" "No, I don't think I will." S A V A G E

"The Godfather is speaking" Damn right.

I am glad I saw this movie movie young because the part about not selling someone out to buy your future struck a cord with me when I was little.

"I'm no f*cking good. I never have been." Such a line.

There is always a lot of debate about the film, and it's generally summed up nicely by Pacino. "Tell or don't tell." The three who pulled the prank, along with Hoffman's character, don't deserve any sort of protection or loyalty from Charlie, and it would be perfectly understandable if he rolled on them given his treatment. A lot agree with that sentiment. But at the same time, I wouldn't like to be threatened by the Dean (or whatever his title is), who basically says "Give me what I want, or I'll crush your future." It's not ethical and, to me at least, a greater evil.

"...I'D TAKE A FLAMETHROWER TO THIS PLACE!!!!" Never ceases to make me laugh SO hard.

I don’t like doing this, but I was suicidal the other day... and I need to let you know that the positivity radiating from this man is saving people. Thank you Brandon.

As an argentinian i feel proud of seen the tango in this movie, the song is " Por una cabeza"

If you're thinking about staying on the Pacino train, I could personally recommend 'Serpico', 'Dog Day Afternoon', and 'Scarface' if you haven't seen them before :)

Hope you will get to another 90's Pacino classic, "Carlito's Way".

I remember for awhile after seeing it in theatres, I would say, “Hoo-ah!” prob way too many times. Leaving for the club - Hoo-ah! Scoring on the tennis court - Hoo-ah! Someone compliments my hair - Hoo -ah! Fun times. 😎

A different Frank and Charlie from what Brandon is used to. 😉

Pacino went so method for this role that he remained "blind" the entire time he was on set. The scene with him tripping over the trashcan was entirely accidental because of this, and ended up in the final film.

I have loved this film ever since my mum showed it to me since I was 14. Love the dance scene in the restaurant! But yes, such a heavy film with a lot of lessons

Top 3 speech in movies of all time

If you want to watch a movie that everyone has forgotten and stars Glen Close, John Lithgow, Robin Williams, and a strong supporting cast, I suggest The World According to Garp.

RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman, my favorite supporting / character actor. His work with Paul Thomas Anderson is flawless. Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, The Master

This movie is a lot like "Finding Forrester" with The late great Sean Connery. Recommended.

This is Pacino's Only Oscar winning performance. He had been nominated many times( and in my opinion should have won at least one or two others) , but this is the one that got it for him.

“That was a touching moment “ Brandon says as Pacino is touching his face, lol

Thomas Newman has been nominated for 15 Oscars and NEVER won! This is the man who wrote the Scores for The Shawshank Redemption, 1917, American Beauty, Finding Nemo, Cinderella Man... So glad you mentioned that, Brandon!

A one suggestion from me: "Dead Poets Society"

You got to do a reaction video on Carlito's Way

One of my favorite movies. It really portrayed the entire concept of integrity for me at the right time in my life.

I watch a lot of reviewers and I like most of your stuff, you tend to be a lot more insightful and less abrasive than a lot of them.

Pacino is magnificent in this.

Martin Brest (the director of this movie) made an action comedy masterpiece with Robert De Niro called 'Midnight Run'. You should check that out someday.

Brandon: Is he going to say anything himself an Charlie's behalf? Me: Maybe a sentence or two.

If you want top Pacino, you should watch Dog Day Afternoon and Serpico!

Scent of a Woman is one of my favorite film.

Yessss, sent of a woman is my favorite film of all time

When are you doing The Departed? Been a while since you last did a Scorsese movie. And this one has an epic cast - Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Martin Sheen, Vera Ferminga, Mark Wahlberg. If not that, then there's Scorsese's recent crime saga The Irishman, starring Pacino, De Niro and Joe Pesci.

Love this movie. The dance scene always makes me smile. Great video as always.

Can't wait for you to react to Scarface. (If you haven't watched it already.)

Pacino got his very overdue first oscar.

Always reminds me of Francis Ford Coppola talking about Al Pacino while making "The Godfather." He said Al couldn't dance and he couldn't drive a car. Pacino must have figured those things out.

Pacino's depiction of depression was amazing and really struck a chord with me.

This movie always made me so emotional, I'm glad you got to it Brandon! And bravo, nailed the reactions to all the nuanced moments in this film

I got so excited when I saw this video on my feed! It was making me chuckle on how many times you kept commenting on the actors performances knowing you would flip when you got to that ending speech in school! Thumbs up!!

I'm 40 years old and somehow this gem fell off my radar at some point. Gotta watch it pronto.

I'm so glad Good Will Hunting follows this closely. I love films with great dialogue

Al finally won the Oscar with this performance!

I've lost track of the amount of times I've watched this movie. I've had to have watched it dozens of times by now. Pacino's performance is an entertaining as it ever is each time I watch it. And I can't recall a scene in a movie that fires me up more than Pacino at the hearing. One of my all time favorite films because of his performance.

Wow Brandon so happy for you, almost to 100k can't wait. 😁

Great Seinfeld reference lol! This is definitely where Elaine gets “Hoo-Ah” from.

This is one of my all time favorite movies, so cool to see you react to this 🙏🏼

When he threw the clip at Charlie I always laugh. Good soldier trick. Anyone who has been around guns knows....there's one in the mag...primed and ready. He negotiates only on him terms.

You never fail to bring the most genuine, heartfelt and entertaining commentary. I hadn't seen this film in years, and you make it feel as I were viewing it for this first time again. Thank you, so much!

So glad you reacted to this film...just so wonderful. The woman at the end of the film who was on the committee later starred in the tv series Six Feet Under, very good actress.

The reason he snapped at Charlie for grabbing his arm, was that Charlie was trying to lead him to the belt buckle. The appropriate way to lead a blind person is to offer your arm and they grab it to be lead somewhere.

In my opinion the best performance and speech iv seen from Pacino, actually one of the best iv seen on film, another great review, your depth and honesty has earned you another subscriber, with so many youtubers reviewing films my subscription to you above others reflects your likeability, well done mate, keep them coming, respect from the UK 👍

One of my favourite films ever!

Nees to watch devils advocate

So glad you've watched this. Great reaction. There are so many varied and brilliant performances from Pacino. Micheal Corleone, Ricky Roma, Tony Montana, Jimmy Hoffa, Frank Serpico to name but a few. His greatest performance though in the eyes of many critics and fans alike is as Sonny Wortzik in Dog Day Afternoon. He is charismatic, magnetic, invested, charming, emotional, distraught, passionate, empathetic and loyal. I believe Empire once ranked it as the second greatest performance in film history.

After seeing the Newport hats I thought you might be from Oregon, but now that I hear you pronounce it so well I’m convinced, paisano!

“dog day afternoon”.. pacino’s masterpiece

This movie got Pacino is one and only Oscar. This is his revanent.

this is one of those movies i can watch over and over again, amazing acting > amazing cgi

Man, I had seen this movie before ~20 years ago. I remembered that I loved the movie and thought it was very special. Now i just watched that reaction-video about it and well, I'm crying my eyes out. The only thing i can point to as the reason for it, is Pacinos incredible performance (and yes, O'Donnel is good too).

the final scene is legendary " but not a snitch"

I recommend “Dances With Wolves” “Sideways” “Unforgiven” “The Truman Show” “Casino” “Platoon” You’d love each one of them. You do a great job. Thanks.

at the oscars for the year this film was released, Al Pacino won the Oscar for best actor in Scent of a Woman, and in the same year received a nomination for best supporting actor for his performance in Glengarry Glen Ross. He was beaten by Gene Hackman for his performance as Lil’ Bill in Unforgiven. Anyway, that’s my long winded way of saying you should check out and react to glengarry glen Ross, the acting is unbelievable. And since I mentioned it, you may aswell also do unforgiven. :)

Al Pacino was also great in Donnie Brasco and Carlito's Way. Those 2 are great crime/drama movies btw

Pacino indeed won his only Oscar for this. btw, this was a remake of an Italian film from the 70's.

I think one of my favorite parts of this whole movie besides him dancing and driving the Ferrari is the court scene Al Pacino's just a legend!

One of my fave Pacino films! I might rewatch it again because of this. Great video as always, Brandon!

This is such a great film and that ending speech I'll never forget Carlitos way is a great pacino film to check out

omg this is such a classic with a massive chefs kiss

Brilliant revue. I watch a few different reviewers and I have to say that I have found yours to be the most intelligent and observational of them all. SOAW is one of my favourite movies too, btw. Not kidding, the other day I watched one of my favourite movies 'reviewed' by a guy who just said 'woah' at intervals. That was it...

Love this movie. So many good quotes we use from this movie. "I'm known from coast to coast like butter on toast," is another one we do.

Hi, Brandon. Great reaction. What I really like about you is that you genuinely like watching these movies. I want to recommend a couple of foreign films, Battle Royale (2000) and/or Grave of the Fireflies. Both Japanese. If not, Dead Poets Society (1989) is also excellent, with Robin Williams.

The nephew is played by Bradley Whitford who went on to star in The West Wing. Shout to Patreons. Brandon likes epic dialogues (and monolgues).

It's clear you really enjoy great acting in movies. You should check out Amadeus (1984) if you haven't seen it yet. There's some great stuff in there, especially from F. Murray Abraham.

I can highly recommend two Sergio Leone movies: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" starring Clint Eastwood, Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef. Furthermore, "Once upon a time in America" starring Robert De Niro and James Woods.

I LOVE this movie! And when I this as your reaction, I was instantly like CLICK! Lol, loved watching you react to this. Glad you enjoyed the movie. :D

imo one of the best speeches in movies

Aah my gosh! The hockey game is on but suddenly I got hit with the notification xD there are two more periods lol it can wait

It's worth noting that Pacino's Oscar win for this fantastic performance is part of a chain of debates among film enthusiasts about which roles deserved the best actor award. Many fans believe that he was robbed of at least one win for Serpico, Godfather 2, Dog Day Afternoon, & And Justice for All. Given that this is one of the more in-your-face performances of his career, it's been claimed that his award was more of an apology by the Academy, which in turn supposedly robbed Denzel Washington's portrayal of Malcolm X. History then repeats itself when Denzel wins best actor for Training Day, which was also seen as an apology award for a gimicky performance that robbed Russell Crowe of a 2nd consecutive win for A Beautiful Mind. Debates about which roles should've won are fine, but I think some people do go overboard by downright dismissing any of these performances as mere Oscar bait. They all fit the tones of their respective films.

Al Pacino is my favorite actor of all time! I love every performance he's given in dramatic roles. I saw Scent of a Woman in high school and it really affected me. The human connections in this film are so well portrayed, you can feel every emotion. It's awesome that you're discovering these movies. May I strongly suggest And Justice For All, in which Pacino plays an idealistic young defense attorney who runs into disillusionment with the criminal justice system. He gives an amazing performance and there are some other great actors in it too. I really think you'll enjoy it and hope you can do a video on it. Some other Al Pacino favorites that I think you will like: Dog Day Afternoon (w/John Cazale who was Fredo from The Godfather), Donnie Brasco (w/Johnny Depp), Scarface (Oliver Stone script), Serpico (true story of police corruption) , Scarecrow (with Gene Hackman), Devil's Advocate (w/Keanu Reeves) and Carlito's Way (w/Sean Penn).

Loving your channel! It’s so refreshing to see movie commentary that is so positive and fun! I don’t know if you’re interested in newer movies but ‘Mid90s’ directed by Jonah Hill is something different and cool to watch!

Best movie i've ever seen! I think that even Chris O'Donnell deserved an Oscar for his performance! Thanks for the upload! Great reaction!👍👍

I remember a lot of people thought Denzel was robbed of the Oscar for Malcom X this year but when you think of the all time classic performances Al had already done at this point and not won an Oscar i was so pleased that he finally won. Zel got his in the end so it all worked out but honestly that's just background noise that detracts from his performance in this film. He was animated but also took it down well and the student council scene is still one of the most memorable scenes in cinema history and made everyone take note of a young Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I know Chris O Donnell is more proud of this than playing Robin in Batman

I don't know how I ended up here but I really enjoyed your reaction I love this movie it's one of my favorite Al Pacino movies!❤

This was a great reaction...much respect! I never get tired of watching this, and Al Pacino I saw a documentary once about him..he has done so much amazing work, even before the Godfather movies. I wish I could find that again...this one is exquisite though and one of my favorites. I'd like to suggest "To Sir With Love" Thanks for the reaction, you're doing great

I love this movie. The Tango scene and the speech at the end are my two favorite scenes. I wish Charlie got a chance to dance with the girl too. She and him were both in the Disney 1993 Musketeers movie too. She played the Queen. He played D’Artagnan. Julie Delphy played his love interest, Constance.

Love this movie, I recently watched it for the first time and loved every minute of it.

No way, i just saw this movie yesterday, btw love your videos

Im excited for this one.

I love this film, one of the best. You make really good choices, when you deciding which movie to react to. If i said it right🤔 Sorry i,m not native English speaker, i,m just learning.

One of my all-time favorite films.

Another story I hear is Pacino didn't attend the Oscar ceremony in 1972 for Godfather because he thought he deserved a nom in leading actor not supporting. He had more screen time than Brando I think and by the end he is the titular character and Vito corleone is dead. So rumour goes the academy snubs him for this protest in the future taking him 8 noms to win. I think only Peter O Toole was nominated more without winning.

The dancing scene is hands down one of my favorite scenes in movies.

The dialogue in this is so witty I love it. ❤

One of the best films ever made. Everything about it is brilliant. Fantastic reaction.

Some recommendations for more Pacino are "And Justice for All", "Sea of Love", and "Glengarry Glenn Ross" which contains some of the greatest dialogue ever written and delivered by an epic, all time great cast. Also, a rec for another Chris O'Donnell film is "School Ties". Love this channel! Keep up the great work!

This is a 24 carat gold, widely underappreciated classic. That speech at the end. YES.

Fantastic film, ashame it's not usually among the older movies that young folks tend to see it definitely deserves more recognition among young folks

this film holds a special place in my heart...first time I saw it was about 20 years ago on our old black and white tv. we were so poor, didn't have much in life, but this movie warmed my heart and gave me hope. still one of my top 3 movies of all time. glad you chose this one!

This is a remake of "Profumo di donna" from 1974, People who see the original say it's even better but good luck finding it with English subtitles, it's difficult. It's very highly regarded too.
