Default oldie but a goodie

in the middle of watching Scarface. this is HONESTLY Pacino's best performance/movie ever. one hell of an acting job. this movie never gets old.

You need to watch Ghandi afterwards, just to balance things out

p.s. his performance in The Godfather was even better

Dude!!! One of the best films ever .. do yourself a favor and watch it.
Believe me, if you dislike one thing there's plenty of other stuff that makes up for it, e.g; cinematography, music, acting, directing, script, incredible cast .. nearly won every category there was that year and still holds up today imo.

If you l-i-k-e Scarface theres no reason you wouldnt l-i-k-e The Godfather .. not that they're the same but they are same genre.

freakin site keeps eating my post

I tried summarizing it for you but this site keeps eating the post .. sorry.

Many lines you still hear today are from that movie such as: "I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM AN OFFER HE CAN'T REFUSE"

you cant go wrong with a cast of: Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert Duvall etc..


heres a link to the basic plot summary
