scarface

how could i not

"How much for 1 rib"? And then he had a load of money in his pocket.

[stretch]

it was ok.

what was that recent Denzel Washington movie where he ran a drug ring......?

American Gangster.

Could have been a classic if it had more Denzel, and less Russel Crowe. It's pretty good, but definitely didn't live up to expectations.

Movie reviews 20 years later is so lame. I'm sure jaws and Close encounters of the third kind seem lame compared to today's special effects. Just like 20 years from now your kids will be talking about how lame the departed is.

Jaws & Close Encounters - GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's it.

even though it was based on a true story, I thought it ripped off some from scarface.

American Ganster is better than Scarface.

I concur.

+1 I still have my original JAWS t-shirt.

I disagree.

If you want to really Judge Scarface fairly? Compare it to what was around at the time. The God Father and Eddie & The Cruisers. those were a few movies available at the time. No other movie in 1983 showed coke deals,talked about eating pussy,and exposed Miami for being the Coke connection years before the 80s when the coke really came later in full force. It's like trying to compare the 2009 Lakers to the Bulls of the 80s different times ,different rules.stick with an era...

I'm sure Tyson can knock out Ali does that make him better?

[JoeChalupa]

My kids loved E.T. though.

Whoa dude! I still remember standing in line @ the Broadway Theater (yea, there used to be a theatre on Broadway) for hours with my plastic shark waiting to see Jaws.

I disagree.

Well everyone's got their opinions, brah.

I still haven't watched Godfather 1,2 or 3. I can't watch a movie for 4 hours. I fall asleep.

I would have preferred it without either one.

I concur. All the "what is the best...movie, song, band...etc." threads are nothing but opinion based threads.

[JoeChalupa]

I would have preferred it without either one.

I like both of them. But that is just my opinion.

[Dr. Gonzo]

Blood In, Blood Out is better than Scarface.

[Greg Oden]

Denzel is the .

[MiamiHeat]

i had never seen this before, and started watching it the other day.

i was quite disappointed, considering how great some people said it was. pacino's accent at times was extremely obnoxious and seemed wayyyyy overdone. i wonder if the extreme violence is what was really captivating to some about the movie, because i thought it was kinda boring actually. i couldnt even finish it cuz it seemed like just a load of violence, cussing, and an annoying overdone accent. i understand that its supposed to capture a realism of what really had been going on in the criminal world, and i have no problem with movies that are like that (for instance i love The Departed, which has its share of violence, cussing, and accents), but i coudnt get into it just because it seemed boring to me, and more focused on showing a load of violence and drugs than anything.

am i alone in my thoughts on the movie, and should give it another shot? or did others feel similarly as well?

you need a certain level of male testosterone and manly behavior to enjoy Scarface.

Sorry! For you, I recommend The Crying Game.

Never heard of it.

American Me was better than Blood in Blood Out

If this guy says it's a good movie, it's the exact opposite. Good call, stretch
