I watched ‘Scarface’ tonight - the Brian de Palma/Oliver Stone/Al Pacino one from 1983, not the original one from the 1930s. I am honestly not sure if I had watched it before or not. I was old enough to watch it when it came out, but I had no memory of it.

In any case, a pretty entertaining couple of hours watching Al Pacino doing his best Al Pacino impersonation. Say Hello to my little friend!

Ever see Carlito's Way with Pacino Sean Penn.

I thought Scarface was a good flick - seems like a lot of fans are fanatical about it - I thought Carlito's Way was the better film (no slight to Scarface) - doesn't get talked about as much as Scarface.

Yes, I saw Carlito's Way when it came out. I don't think I ever rewatched it. I remember liking it a lot, although there was one detail that bugged me so much that I still remember it after all these years. Sean Penn is a lawyer for a big shot Mob guy who's been arrested. The Mob guy knows that Sean Penn has stolen from him. He then comes up with a plan to escape from prison. Who does he ask for help with his plan? Sean Penn. Who had stolen from him, whom he had threatened, and whom he did not trust. The guy was a Mob boss with tons of money and connections and he asks the lawyer who had already screwed him for help?
