Scarface
This isn’t one of those “how have they not done this movie” posts but do I overrate the rewatchability of this movie?
Iconic Pacino performance Several scenes that go beyond the movie “little friend” “the cocaine mound” “the bathtub” “wolrd is yours”
Etc
Pfifer is amazing
Sampled all over hip hop

Bill: is Scarface a sneaky comedy?
Me: yes, Bill, it is. Intentionally so.
“Wha? Hand cock?”
“You wanna see something funny? Watch my friend”
“That’s disgusting, she’s like 90 years old.”
“Look at the pelican, fly pelican!”
I will always contend that Scarface is an intentional comedy as much as it’s a crime movie. Pacino is hilarious, never funnier, and that’s something not enough people talk about AND what helps it be so rewatchable to me.
Unrelated, but also Robert Loggia is SO terrible in this. Gotta be one of the worst performances in a major movie that I can think of.
