It is a classic movie and should be required viewing for anybody with an interest in movies.
Check out John Cazale's filmography on IMDB....the dude's only been in 5 movies, but oh, what a great five.

It's a shame there aren't many actors like that nowadays. He was brilliant in Dog Day Afternoon. (and not too shabby in the others! 😉 )

Cazale appeared in only five feature films in his career, and all of them were nominated for Best Picture.

I was just watching this last week. I can't believe the way it ended. I wonder if our current law enforcement would pull a plan like that now a day...

IMHO "Dog Day Afternoon" and "Panic in Needle Park" is where Al Pacino gave his best performances.

WOW...too bad he died in 78...how did he land those roles right off the bat...usually you work your way up...he was in 5 brilliant movies, and then done.
