Memorable movie moments-Dog day afternoon

Dog day afternoon, the retelling of the real life attempted bank robbery in New York by Sonny Wortzik and his partner Sal remains culturally significant because of the character that was Sonny Wortzik and what he stood for, a desperate man in uneasy times.
Pacino's performance is so brilliant and captivating that you could pick any amount of time and it would be memorable . I decided to stick with this scene as it involves sonny getting the crowd on his side and effectively manipulating the forces. The use of the word attica is important as this revolves around the police mess up that occured their and even though you cant condone sonny's actions, he becomes something of a legendary anti-hero. Pacino makes the character as desperate and intense as possible and whats also easy to see is the exact tension that takes place. You can almost 'cut the air with a knife' as they say.

Transcendant brilliance. As to how he escaped the 1970s without an Oscar, I doubt I will ever find a satisfactory explanation.

I remember this, I was bugging dad to go to a store called Grants to pick up a Sundowner trail bike I got for my 6th b-day which is August 23d. Mom said are you taking him or not, he said in a minute 2 queers have hostages in a New York bank. i'l probably get replies about dad saying that but those people can drop dead. Dad was a good man that provided for his family, never took a handout and worked hard till the day he died. And people weren't born offended in the 70s.

ONE OF THE BEST LOVE STORIES EVER!!! Vietnam vet robs bank to pay for his gay lover's sex change operation? ARE YOU KIDDING ME! that is the definition of romance! Pacino ruled the screen in this film & never made an equal... close but no equal. When the head teller is asking him "didn't you have a plan" his face goes through so many emotions in seconds! He goes from being crazy/confident then realize he's fucked & watch him think as he tries to come up with a new plan. ALL WITHOUT WORDS!
