Guest newblood03 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I think it is one of the greatest movies of all time....what are your thoughts?
Guest Youth N Asia Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I enjoyed it. I thought it was overrated though. I liked the character better then I did the movie. *waiting for Dames*
Guest godthedog Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 i think it's a really fun little over-the-top movie, but i don't take it too seriously. de palma's not one of my most favoritest guys in the world.
Guest Nevermortal Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 (edited) I really liked the movie; but not one of my all time favorites. Nothing can beat the last scene though. Mountain of Coke + Big Fucking Gun + Blood = Ratings Edited May 24, 2003 by Nevermortal
Guest MaxPower27 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I was entertained, but I don't see what all the fuss is about.
Guest Heel In Peril Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I think it is one of the greatest movies of all time....what are your thoughts? It's hokay.
Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Why would you even ask such a question? Scarface is a classic, and I mean classic. In a must own situation, it's in the top three.
Guest MaxPower27 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I wouldn't go MUST OWN. Maybe, MUST SEE. Or, MUST RENT.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I've never seen an unedited version. I plan on doing that before I die...
Guest godthedog Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 (edited) Why would you even ask such a question? Scarface is a classic, and I mean classic. In a must own situation, it's in the top three. dude, that's not even one of pacino's top three must own. it's not even one of the 80s' top three must own. it's not even a top three must own gangster movie. it's not even a top three must own pacino gangster movie. Edited May 24, 2003 by godthedog
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 It's pretty funny, but not like a classic movie. Still good though. I heard Dames likes it, i dunno.
Guest newblood03 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I personally love the movie and think it a must own...didnt they stop making it on dvd.......i got one from asia off ebay
Guest 5_moves_of_doom Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 One of my all-time favorites. Pacino is God. Highlights would have to include the chainsaw scene, the overhead bathtub scene, the making-a-scene-at-the-restraunt scene, and of course, probably one of my top three scenes of all time -- the ending. I mean, really now.
The Dames Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Dames has motherfucking ARRIVED. See that man in my sig? That is not Al Pacino. Al Pacino is not in Scarface. That, my friends, is Tony "Motherfucking" Montana. This is more than a crime/mafia movie. More than a movie on 80's excess and the pitfalls of drugs. More than an excuse for graphic violence onscreen. The way I take it and the way that I've ALWAYS taken it is as a story of a hispanic man who went from NOTHING to the top of the world due to the ruthlessness and determination that he had in order to succeed. Who cares that it's about cocaine? I just fucking don't. It could have been about stock tips for all I care. This was a Cuban refugee with no real working skills and came to America and fucking MADE IT. This is a classic and definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. Every scene is memorable, most of the lines are quotable and Tony Montana has become an icon. Dames
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I'm astounded by the lack of Scarface love ... it's one of the few movies I can watch and the minute it ends watch again. And when that one ends, watch again. It's a must see. Some scenes are so over-the-top they swing back to not-over-the-top again.
Guest ArkhamGlobe Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I personally like it alot, mainly for it's baroque excess, which for me makes it tremendously entertaining. I wouldn't rate it as one of the top gangster movies of all time though.
Guest godthedog Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 I personally love the movie and think it a must own...didnt they stop making it on dvd.......i got one from asia off ebay half a dozen people say it's one of their all-time favorites, and you're astounded by the lack of love?
Guest wrestlingbs Posted May 24, 2003 Report Posted May 24, 2003 Vice City was based on Scarface. I loved Vice City. Therefore, I love Scarface. Scarface, by itself, is still one of my favorite movies. The ending has to be one of the bests ever, right down to the closing shots.
Guest newblood03 Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 i dont think it is really a gang movie just a a cuban man who flees to the usa and starts from the bottom to running the town
Guest cabbageboy Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 Hell, I'm amazed that no one has even brought up the fact that the Pacino Scarface isn't even the REAL Scarface! That would be the original 1932 version with Paul Muni. It's about half as long as the 83 movie, and twice as good.
TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 Scarfacei s most definetely one of my all-time favorites. BTW why don't they make the DVD anymore I've been trying to buy it but no stores have it.
Guest newblood03 Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 hell idk man, i saw one going for over a 1oo dollars on ebay i got lucky and got mine for 33 it has a misprint on the cover talking about the exorcist but its a cool cover art and its a weird case...not really a case
Guest Rob Edwards Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 It's up there for me too, Pacino's performance is just too engrossing for it not to be
Guest godthedog Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 i guess i just don't get it, but...how does 'scarface' compare to something like 'goodfellas' for you guys?
Guest Rob Edwards Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 Well it's close (both movies are awesome) while Pacino is better than anything in GF, GF's cast has more compelling characters than Scarface does. I just think Pacino's rise is that much more interesting than Liotta's simply because Pacino portrays the character better though, the way he changes once he actually makes it is superb and he really makes you believe he's a man on the brink of going under/insane
Guest jm29195 Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 I've got the dvd, it's got the following features:- Making of Scarface Cast and Film maker's biographies Theatrical Trailers Production Notes 3 outtakes/removed scenes
Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Posted May 25, 2003 Report Posted May 25, 2003 i guess i just don't get it, but...how does 'scarface' compare to something like 'goodfellas' for you guys? Goodfellas is one great movie and is right there with Scarface in my book. It's almost to close to call.
