Scent of a Woman (1992)

20100713:
This is the second Al Pacino (IMDb.com) movie I can remember watching (I'll have to double-check on this fact). The first being Donnie Brasco (1997).

In any case, this movie focuses on two main characters whose relationship we get to watch form; similar to how Woody and Buzz Lightyear form a relationship in Toy Story.

On a different note, Chris O'Donnell (IMDb.com) gives a good performance, but Pacino is the one to watch this movie for. The movie has great lines. I suppose the plot is a little predictable, but the performance is what I recommend watching the movie for.
