Try going into a college dorm.

Its up there somewhere in my list along with Goodfellas, Casino, Godfather I & II, Carlitos Way, Heat, Pulp Fiction, & Usual Suspects.

Scarface isn't in the same stratosphere as Godfather I/II and Goodfellas, imo.

decent movie, but way, way overrated.

It's a 'ganster' movie not a 'gansta' movie, there are no black gangsters in it.

That's racist.

Yeah sure it is :disgust:

I think Scarface is pretty good but agree that it's overrated. Godfather I and II are much better movies in that genre.

God, I hate that movie. It's not overrated - critics and people who give a damn about film tend to hate it (or just find it an entertaining movie and nothing more). Wanna be thug minorities love the movie, and I never trust their taste in art...

Heh...you're stretching the Genre there :)

But definitely all good movies.

Untouchables is also good, and Donnie Brasco is another decent one that's a bit underrated...
