Carlito's Way takes Scarface to town, in my opinion, lol. One of the best of the gangster genre, I'd say.
On the other hand, I watched LA Confidential again for the first time in about 20 years and still think it's great. Made me a Russel Crowe fan at the time.It's a hopeless situation...0 -
PJ_Soul said:I have to agree. I just watched it for the first time a couple months ago. It was okay, but I don't know why it's revered the way it is. It's far from Pacino's best... It might be De Palma's best, but only because he doesn't have a lot of super good movies under his belt... But I think Carrie is better than Scarface.

eeriepadave said:I first saw it in the mid-late 80's at a friends house on VHS tape. I liked it but haven't really seen the whole movie since then (only parts of it on tv). The main thing it's kinda long for me, on VHS it was on two tapes which was a rarity (i do remember godfather and titanic being on two tapes). Besides the violence, language and drug use I don't really remember what the actual plot was

I saw Scarface in the early 90's and liked it, but certainly never thought about as a classic. I have watched it again, with someone who hadn't seen it, but would not revisit again. I have watched Carlito's way and Donnie Brasco multiple times thoughI'll ride the wave where it takes me

Donnie Brasco was great. Depp really went to hell after he hit it big as Captain Jack Sparrow. His last good movie for me was The Secret Window. Then he just started making mostly crap. His late 90's and early 00's work was his peak.It's a hopeless situation...0

I've never seen Scarface all the way through. Whenever it comes on TV I put it on to see what the fuss is about, but I never make it more than a few minutes before remembering why I always turn it off!

Depp is a woman-beating turd.
I loved Carlito's Way. Haven't seen in forever.
LA Confidential was one of the rare movies that got the feel of the book conveyed fairly well, I thought, even if the plot had differences.

You guys are being pretty rough on Scarface. When it came out in the early 80s... it was awesome.
It hasn't aged very well, but for the era... the cheesy lines and violence were on point.
I'll still watch it to this day for nostalgia's sake (just like I would Jaws)."My brain's a good brain!"0 -

tbergs said:Wait a minute, did you just put Jaws in the same category as Scarface? No way. Jaws has class.
I just stated that there are some movies where an appreciation must be had for time and era (no computer assisted- or other innovative- effects among other items).
If I'm chilling before bedtime and looking for a movie to wash over me to stop the flow of thoughts... movies like Jaws, Scarface, First Blood, etc. get the job done for me!

The Tingler ('59) starring Vincent Price. I saw a live riffing of this last night from some of the guys from MST3K. Movie itself was pretty good/funny, riffing was outstanding!

Finished The Terror series on AMC. Excellent.
Acting was incredible all around, especially good performance by Jared Harris.
