Scarface is a 1983 American crime drama and masterful collaboration between acclaimed director Brian DePalma and Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Oliver Stone. Produced by Martin Bregman, Academy Award® winner Al Pacino stars as Tony Montana, a Cuban immigrant who finds wealth, power and passion beyond his wildest dreams...at a price he never imagined. Scarface was nominated for three Golden Globe® Awards (including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Score), and was named one of the Top 10 Gangster Films of All Time by the American Film Institute.

The Untouchables is by far De Palma's best film, in my opinion. I would also rank Carlito's Way as a much better film, as Pacino isn't playing a caricature in that film.

De Palma made quite a few gems over the years but this is by far his best. A freakin' classic and since I don't own a copy of it, this blu-ray looks like the way to go! No way this film is overrated and imo Pacino's best work.

@thedude1 True. Everyone has differing tastes. Some like one film, others don't.

@ejk1 I agree. I'm not the biggest fan of this movie, not sure why so many people love it. But, I'd like to see it up on the big-screen to say that I did.

@ejk1 All I was trying to say that is is okay to not like what others like to call classics.

@thedude1 Wonderful. Personally, I didn't bring The Godfather Part 2 into the conversation.
10 months agoby @ejk1Flag
TheDude1
@ejk1 That is your opinion and I respect that. Personally I think The Godfather Part 2 is highly overrated.

This is awesome. I love how these movie studios have been playing these older movies on the big screen. It is really great.
