"I don't feel I have to wipe everybody out, Tom. Just my enemies." Michael Corleone Played By: Al Pacino Film: The Godfather Part II Why He's On The List: The first film is dominated by Brando, but the as-good-possibly-even-better sequel is where Pacino really clicks into high gear with his characterisation of the mafia Don. Charting Michael's complete moral demise, it's a devastating, flawless ride with a gut-punch of an ending. How the actor gets sympathy out of the audience by the end is a mystery to all but the masters, but amazing characterisation in the screenplay is probably a start. Finest Hour: The look of pure rage on his face when wife Kay tells him she had an abortion.
