Scent of a Woman (1992)
Jumping forward to the 1990s, Pacino earned his first and only Oscar for best actor in Scent of a Woman.
He plays Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, a blind, curmudgeonly alcoholic. Chris O’Donnell plays Charlie Simms, a prep school student who is hired to watch over Slade during Thanksgiving weekend.
Pacino’s iconic catchphrase from this movie is “Hoo-ah!” which is repeats several times throughout — there are entire YouTube video compilations dedicated to this — but most notably during his famous courtroom speech.
