Scarface-Greatest guys movie ever

[shekina]

I loooove this move. To me, it's a love story. This is the greatest guys movie ever. Fave lines havta be "I kill communists for fun", "Say goodnight to the bad guy", and "Lesson 1: Never underestimate the other guy's greed". Great movie.

1. I've never seen it

But when it went on sale on DVD, at least a dozen senior guys from my school left classes early that day to buy it. Jeez. It must be good!

[historian]

2. there is an even scarier movie out

Chump taking the oath of office

[DarkPhenyx]

3. No, no. The would be Lethal Weapon.

A guy movie ahs one of two things in the first 5 mintues. naked people, or dead people. LW had a half naked, land diving, hooker in the first 5. Naked dead people. It's a blockbuster.

[puerco-bellies]

4. Wrong Answer Sluggo!

Reservoir Dogs, with honorable mention to Full Metal Jacket.

[Carni]

5. I like Pulp Fiction better lol

"this is a tasty fucking burger" LOL

[salinen]

8. Reservoir Dogs is good

Sorcerer is better.

[lucidmadman]

19. "Is there a commode in this place, I gotta take a squirt."

Keitel says at one point in RD...

[Parrcrow]

28. that was Steven Buscemi

Mr Pink, he said it to Harvey Keitel (Mr White)

[lucidmadman]

33. Ah....I stand corrected...

:hi:

[BootinUp]

6. Too hard of a question

Most all Clint Eastwood movies and Die Hard the original, Lethal Weapon. Scarface is very good but not at the top of my list. I actually like the recent movie Heat with Pacino more than Scarface.

[Gman]

7. Also....

"Say ehlo to mah lil' fren'.... BLAM!

and

"Don't kill me, don't kill me!" "I'm not gonna keel yu..." "Pablo (?) keel dat piece of chit!" "NO!" BLAM!

[WilliamPitt]

9. Fight Club, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Band of Brothers, etc.

*slap*

[VelmaD]

10. hang on a second...

I love all those movies and last time I checked a was still a girl. Ok...maybe not a very "girly" girl...but two x chromosomes nonetheless. :shrug:

[LTR]

11. Goodfellas

also...

Animal House
Slapshot
My Best Friend's Wedding

Just kidding about that last one.

[HEyHEY]

22. RT has em all down (except the last one)

I'll add to it, Toombstone, Lock stock and two smoking barrels.

[LTR]

29. Ooooo...forgot Tombstone

One of my favorite movies.

I was kidding about that last one, though.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Uh, Godfather I and II anyone?

:shrug:

[shekina]

13. Godfather was amazing

But there's just something about the unrelenting brutality of Scarface. That, and the character development is so good.

[citizen snips]

14. You aren't American if you have not seen Scarface.

"why don't you try sticking your head up jou ass and see if it fits".

"I have ears I hear things".

[shekina]

15. after all

He loved the American Dream with a vengeance

[citizen snips]

16. look at my sig line.

n/t

[shekina]

17. i seen it

I figured you would respond to this thread

[Endangered Specie]

18. ahem, Casino anyone???

[lucidmadman]

20. THE WILD BUNCH is my favorite...

...honorable mentions to TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE, MAN WHO WOULD BE KING, BIG WEDNESDAY and several others mostly pre-1980 in my case.

[DS1]

21. Puts me to sleep everytime

I'd love to watch the movie, I'll just have to remember to put a pot of coffee on first.

[5thGenDemocrat]

23. The greatest guy movie ever is "The Right Stuff"

It's got plane crashes, drinking, horses, astronauts, Good Guys and Commies and death-defying guy-type heroics throughout. Plus, Chuck Yeager plays a bartender and Sam Shepard plays Chuck Yeager.
It's so good even my old buddy Marty the Marxist (MSchreader) likes it.
John
"Scarface" is pretty good, too. I'd heartily recommend them both.

[democracyindanger]

24. FANDANGO

There's no question.

[5thGenDemocrat]

25. Fandango's a great film, too

The wedding scene is wonderful.
John
Although I was certain I was the only person who'd ever seen it.

[democracyindanger]

26. yeah

One of the greatest underrated movies of all time. You got a road trip, college drunkenness, rivalry between two friends over a girl, Truman Sparks--how could it not be one of the greatest guy movies ever?

[5thGenDemocrat]

27. "Well, there goes the champagne..."

"Truck tipped over in Fort Stockton -- broke every damned bottle."
Like I said, setting up the wedding banquet is one of the finest vignettes I've ever seen in a film.
And, oh yeah, Truman Sparks was one damned fine pilot. Take it from a fan of "The Right Stuff."
John
But Gordo Cooper, finally, was the greatest pilot anyone had ever seen.

[FunBobbyMucha]

32. "Gardner, you are the most irresponsible person I've ever known!"

"Well, somebody had to be."

Costner was the apex of sexy cool in this and Bull Durham. What happened?

[Gildor Inglorion]

30. Respectfully disagree. "Stand By Me" is the best guy movie ever...

31. Heat. Deniro and Pacino in their prime. Michael Mann directs.

And though I'm gonna invite a wave o' flame with this anecdotal generalization, I find that its fan base is almost entirely male. My wife actually gets violently indignant when it comes on cable (she sat thru the movie in the theater with me and seemed to hold me personally responsible for the 11-minute shoot-out).

Scarface has become so iconic to all that gangsta rap bullshit culture that I can't really get into it anymore. Even before the hype, never thought it was a great movie (good, not great), just a pinnacle of 80's excess. Heat holds up much better, and was a tighter, better movie to begin with, imho.

Flame away.
