I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I'm watching Glory and his performance is incredible. The guy is so convincing in every role that he plays.

Gary Oldman
Johnny Depp

If you want to include women, Meryll Streep wins until she shuffles of the mortal coil.

robert deniro. just ignore the adventures of rocky & bullwinkle, showtime, analyze that, you get the idea. but then again, i guess the same can be said for pacino. but he hasnt sold his soul to hollywood as badly as deniro has.

Pacino plays the same guy in every movie he has been in for a decade now.

I agree that he'd definitely be in my top 10, along with Ed Harris, Gary Oldman, Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, and Tom Hanks. Possibly even top 5.
