is there a more overrated gangster flick in history?
Yeah, goodfellas
The Godfather
It's overhyped but still an 8/10.

Your moms gang bang video ;O)
The part I never understood is how so many people try and glorify his lifestyle when he was completely in love with his sister
Kind of tough to be gangster when you want to fuck your little sister all the time

he was just over protective and didn't want to think of his "sweet little sister" fucking anybody. To him he will always be his 5 year old little sister in his mind.

FOR REAL like why was that plot point even put in the story it's just the main character trying to fuck his kid sister then killing his best friend for marrying her
scarface is kino. redditors leave

No. It's awful.
What's your problem with it, OP?
Pretty sure it's not revered as like the greatest work of art ever, or anything on the level of Godfather, but just as a really entertaining, stylish movie. Which I think it still is. And I'm not black.

All Tony Montana has going for him is Al Pacino. The character himself isn't anyone to aspire to. But people who glorify movies tend to be idiots, anyway.

Maybe Melville's films.

This. The first half is golden. The second half is about a cocaine junkie/rat. Fuck the second half. Despite Scarface's shortcomings, it has one of the best shootout endings since The Wild Bunch.
Yeah it's garbage.
Paul Shenar was excellent however.

Well no shit, the guy was becoming a rat. You ever read the book?

tbqh his sister was fucking hot

King of New York was pretty good (Walken and Fishbourne were god tier as always) but it felt kind of unmemorable.
I should rewatch it though.
>>71085196
I sometimes turn it off after Tommy gets whacked. Henry running around like a maniac just isn't that interesting.
>>71083923
don't get fresh.
>>71084117
That's kind of the point. In the 1933 Scarface his relationship with his sister was ambiguously sexual to show how much of a degenerate he was. It was a deliberate move to make him look like a fucking freak so people wouldn't want to be gangsters despite all the cool shit he does.

Wew lads.

That perm is horrendous.

I haven't made it through Carlito's Way without falling asleep.
>Scarface and Godfather had the same actor
jaysus I didn't even notice until now. he looks like a ragged hobo as Tony instead of a refined Corleone heir.
I didn't like Mean Streets that much, it just seemed like a bunch of scenes all strung up together with no real plot (not to mention it was kind of boring).
I still respect its legacy though and I did enjoy Deniro's performance a lot, not to mention it was kind of neat seeing Scorsese starting with his craft.

What I love about King of New York is that unlike most later films of the genre it follows the basic formula of the classic gangster films from the 30's, but with several cool twists to it, along with a stellar cast (Walken at his best) and Ferrara's brilliant direction.
It also has a tongue-in-cheek quality to it which I really love

Lawrence Fishburne saying "root beer" is one of the funniest things in film to me.
The Departed is easily most overrated.
