Is Scarface a top 10 movie?

[Optimus Prime]

Not even a top 10 Pacino performance

fukk Scarface id rather be Sosa.

 

[kingdarius]

No lol from a film standpoint its kind of ridiculous. Pacino was just really great in it with all his over the topness. Something like Carlitos way shows how average or below average scarface is as a whole

 

[OmegaK2099]

Nah

That stupid unneeded montage showing us the "come up" coulda made it greater if they left it out and instead they actually showed us the real "come up" without music.....but they cartoon it up....with that said.... it's still a great movie that can't be remade

Scarface is very entertaining but it’s not a great movie at all.

Why not? And what about for it's time? The shyt was released well before I was born. I'm limited for comparisons, I only know some of the classics and a few British mob movies

I don't ever feel like I'm watching a great movie when I'm watching it but I still find myself watching it more often than other films I feel are better made. I think there is a certain charm to it being rough and unrefined spectacle, like it's title character, like doing 100 lines of coke. It's really watchable, mostly because of the over the top performance, but also the music and iconic scenes that define that time period and location.

Do I think it's top 10? No. Not even top 50. But it is a classic.

 

[Lewis Black]

The whole movie is quotable lol

 

[Fallacy]

In hindsight it's a so bad it's good movie for me. Pacino's Cuban accent was OD but hilarious.

For it’s time your compare it to The Godfather, goodfellas, Carlitos way, and mean streets. It’s not on that level. It perfectly encapsulates the 80s most definitely but Oliver Stone as a director wasn’t working on the level of Coppola or Scorsese. The acting is cheesy and over the top, it’s got the subtlety of a sledgehammer, it’s longer than it needs to be, and Pacino is the only interesting thing about it. He is great. He stands out. He’s the reason we still talk about it.

And as a remake it’s fine but it’s just not moving on the same level of the mob movies it likes to think it runs with

As soon as MTV started raided famous black people's cribs and saw that they all had Tony Montana on their walls, Scarface all of a sudden became the most hated movie of all time.

It's easily one of my favorite movies of all time.

not even top 10 gangster movie
