These ones always give me chills... Marlon Brando: "Look how they've massacred my boy." Marlon Brando: "You think you're God Almighty, but you know what you are? You're a cheap, lousy, dirty, stinkin' mug! And I'm glad what I done to you, ya hear that? I'm glad what I done!" Marlon Brando: "HEY STELLA!!!!!!!" Robert DeNiro: "You talkin' to me?" Al Pacino's look on his face after Kay tells him she had an abortion

Marlon Brando in THE GODFATHER, PART I : "Look how they've massacred my boy." Al Pacino, John Cazale in THE GODFATHER, PART II:"I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart. You broke my heart."
(Sorry for all THE GODFATHERS') Al Pacino's scream at the end of The Godfather, Part III.
Al Pacino, Dog Day Afternoon : "ATTICA, ATTICA, ATTICA!!"
Hey, how's it going?

How about his speech in "Scent Of A Woman"? One of the best! Don Cardi [/b][/quote]Both pacino speeches you mentioned are not even close to City Hall's speech !

Some off the top of my head:
James Caan: "Whatya gonna do? Nice college boy..." that whole speech. Actually, everything he does in the GF...best acting ever.
Vivien Leigh in Gone with the Wind, the scene right before the intermission, when she says "I'll never be hungry again!"
Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction, what he says to Ringo at the end, "I"m trying really hard to be the shepard."
These are just some off the top of my head. I agree with all the ones listed too, especially, "Marlon Brando: "HEY STELLA!!!!!!!""

De Niro as Johnny Boy in Mean Streets, when he is about to explode with Charlie at the top of the stairs.
De Niro in The Deer Hunter: Russian Roulette scene #1 ("Mao!") and #2, when he goes back to 'Nam to find Nicky ("one shot").
De Niro in Taxi Driver when he first applies for the job ("It's clean, like my conscience").
David Bradley, in all of Kes.
Peter Sellers as The President, on the phone to Dmitri, in Dr. Strangelove.
Ned Beatty in Deliverance ("Squeal!").
More to come...

Mick [/QB] This is it. I totally agree. The first scene feels so real its hard to believe youre watching a movie. The ending scene where De Niro's holding the gun to his head "I love you Nicky,you know that?" And then "One Shot"...what a movie! This is De Niro's best performance. I'm in love with this movie. Michael : "Every time he comes up, he's got no knife, he's got no jacket, he's got no pants, he's got no boots. All he's got is that stupid gun he carries around like John Wayne" Michael: A deer has to be taken with one shot. I try to tell people that but they don't listen

Originally posted by Sonny Forelli: Al Pacino in Scarface, You couldnt name another actor who could have played the character of tony montana so well Agreed! For me I'd say Kevin Costner in the courtroom scene in JFK when he's talking about the people who couldn't afford to send money but still do. I'm sure I'll think of more but I don't wanna hurt myself too much now :p

No order, and off the top of my head.
Silence of the Lambs - Anthony Hopkins in the "rube" monologue.
The Godfather part II - Al Pacino when Kay informs him about what really happened to the baby.
Five Easy Pieces - Jack Nicholson in the scene with his father towards the end.
About Schmidt - Jack Nicholson, the last scene.
...And Justice For All - Al Pacino, "THE SONOFABITCH IS GUILTY!"
On the Waterfront - Marlon Brando, the cab scene.
Apocalypse Now - Marlon Brando in the horror monologue.
Raging Bull - Several of DeNiro's scenes, too many to mention.
Taxi Driver - Robert DeNiro, many of the scenes where he tries to be social, wonderful acting.
Dr. Strangelove - Peter Sellers in all three roles, especially the president's phone conversation.
American History X - Edward Norton, the scene where he talks about minorities before the attack.
Dracula - Gary Oldman in several scenes.
Blow - Johnny Depp, the scene with the recorder and the final scene.
Monster - Charlize Theron in several scenes.
La Dolce Vita - Marcello Mastroianni at the end.
Citizen Kane - Orson Welles when he destroys the room.
The Conversation - Gene Hackman, the whole film.
The Deer Hunter - Robert DeNiro in the Russian Roulette scene.
I can go on and on.
