Scarface

THE WORLD IS YOURS The 80's were great - there's a scene where Michelle Pfeiffer is getting ready for bed and takes a few bumps of coke, sips her cocktail, then takes a nice drag from her cigarette! Wild that The Terminator came out a year after this, I would have bet that the final assassin wearing sunglasses and wielding a shotgun was a reference to that. What can I say about this that hasn't already been said? It's a brilliant tale of an immigrant striving for the material American Dream, but not finding fulfillment in what he achieves. He wants to cling to morals, but he's already in too deep and with no way to escape. Pacino is perfectly cast, but the whole cast is excellent, the Miami sets are gorgeous, the Morodor soundtrack slaps, and I was riveted from start to finish. Directed by Brian de Palma, Ranked!
