When you go back and watch Scarface and Carlito's Way, it really is like night and day with how Carlito's Way is the better movie

@PAWG Life you know what a haza is ???? It's a pig that don't fly straight, that's you you white bytch loving Cockaroach NEGGED!!!
Carlito's way is "better" but it isn't as entertaining as Scarface. And I watch movies for entertainment
The part where Carlito has the chase scene in the train station is more entertaining than any scene in Scarface

Scarface is more popular and iconic but I definitely agree that Carlito’s Way was a better film.
The chase at the train station and the pool scene when he gets out are brilliant scenes.
I also like the prison escape attempt in the boat. Sean Penn was terrific in that role.

A little off-topic but I want to recommend De Palma’s ‘Blow Out’, which was done a couple years before Scarface.
At all. Scarface's appeal ages like milk.
Might be Travolta's best movie lowkey.

I don't think anyone actually thought Scarface was a great film. Its like the white version of Belly or State PropertyRecently watched both these films back to back cause i've been going back and watching some of De Palma's films again
Scarface was like a b movie with unintentional comedy
only thing i'll give Scarface props for is the dialogue/screenplay Oliver Stone wrote for it, he was a great screenwriter in his heyday.
but Scarface reminds me of one those low budget ass movies you'd see back in the 90's on a Saturday on a non cable channel and you'd watch out of boredom
Carlito's Way takes a huge shyt on Scarface in every way.
De Palma and Pachino got it right with Carlito's Way; the screenplay (screenwriter Koepp), the acting, the setting and even the humor was on point.

Cool
however i realize it may not be a popular opinion since Scarface is the more popular film among a lot of people.
thats because its WAY more entertaining
nobody watches scarface for the story or the morality lesson... we watch it again and again and again for tonys fukkery!
i swear i can recite 80% of that movie from memory
yeah carlitos way is a great film but id take scarface over it any day
Being a De Palma fan, I should have seen that years ago, but just watched about a month ago, on HBO Max. Loved it.
Love De Palma's psychosexual thriller phase, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Body Double, I like Body Double the best, maybe.
I have seen Obsession, but it's a little ludicrous, even for Del Palma
