Godfather hands down.

Scarface is a cult movie, while i enjoy it, it is nowhere near the cinematic genius that is The GOdfather.

Scarface. Although I must say I've never actually sat down and watched Godfather all the way through, but I don't see it being better than Scarface.

godfather hands down. if you're going by performance, then he was even better in serpico than he was in scarface. carlito's way too. ****ty poll, you take one of the most talented actors alive right now and reduce his filmography to 2 movies.

I know he's a great actor and played in many movies, but most people( not all) Know him mainly from either Scarface or Godfather, so that is why I made the poll. And also can't help you think my poll is ****ty, but your just going to have to deal with it....lol

Cant compare...

GODFATHER was a multi masterpiece... I think thats what really made it a classic.

Now , On the other hand.. You have SCARFACE.. all it took was one time to become and instant hit and a classic.


Personally, I think SCARFACE is the better of the too, due to , was only one cut.. Not multiple parts to it... and ****... Until this date, it still has **** that is somewhat motivating...

He has much better performances in his more recent films.

One that strikes me is the devil's advocate

:lmfao: That's just dumb.

You know what I think is better, but that's obvious.

The Godfather is the greatest movie of all time, and in my opinion Scarface is one of the worst movies of all time.

For those who don't know, time to educate.

Scarface was the nick name of Chicago mobster Al Capone due to the large scar on the left side of this face. A long time ago a movie called Scarface about him came out, and was located in Miami since that was where he went to retire and eventually died in Miami.

The movie with Pacino is a travesty and a mockery of the real Scarface and the story of the mobsters life. They took parts out of that and turned it into a stupid movie about drug smuggling with latins, nowhere near the same concept.

Now all it is, is a movie that every wannabe thug and baller has to have and see because it's all about drugs and killing.

Fuck that movie, it's a joke.

Comparing Scarface to The God Father is like Comparing Good Charlotte to The Beatles. I watched Scarface once, thats about all I could take.

REPS ON GIVIN THESE YOUNG BUCKS SOME KNOWLEDGE, THE MOVIE IS MORE THEN YOUR FAVORITE RAPPERS FAVORITE MOVIE LOL..

BUT AS FAR AS THEM REMAKING OR COPYING THE 30'S MOVIE BY THE SAME NAME, SORRY BUT YOU MISTAKEN ON THAT. IN SEVERAL INTERVIEWS W/ DE PALMA AND MARTIN BREGMAN THEY MADE IT CLEAR IT WAS A MODERN DAY SCARFACE, WHICH IN '83 WAS PICTURE PERFECT AND EVEN HAVE TONY WATCHING THE ORIGINAL SCARFACE IN A SCENE (SO IM NOT CLEAR ON WHY YOU ARE COMPARING THE 2?) I AGREE THAT GODFATHER WAS A BETTER MOVIE (EXCEPT PART 3 LOL) BUT IN THE GANGSTER MOVIE GENRE ITS ONE OF THE TOP 3 FILMS ON EVERYBODYS LIST!

scareface...

Lolol, we're not talking about Goosebumps books.

I have to go with The Godfather through and through. I just wasn't as interested in Scarface after I saw it multiple times.

totally impossible to choose......but i'm gonna have to say scarface, just for the fact that it WAS a cult movie. so many ppl discounted it when they first saw it, took a bit of patience to really follow it all the way through the first time around to enjoy it.

Well I had some hope for these forums, but then Scarface came back within two votes.
