I hope all this praise for that soundtrack is a joke. This was the beginning of torturous 80s bad soundtracks.

I always thought Scarface was one of the most overrated movies of all time. Not quite as bad as Field of Dreams, but the hype is oppressive.

I used to love this movie a lot growing up, and then all these fuckers I knew started falling in love with it once the hip-hop community started referencing it pretty heavily about 8 years ago or so.
I can barely stand watching it now because it feels so cliché.
Why look up to failures.
You are only supposed to appreciate Tony Montana for having a shred of morals, and then realize that those morals is what gets him killed. You can't have it both ways, and this movie shows it. You can't be a cold-blooded killer 75% of the time and expect to make it out of the game.
It's killed or be killed and Scarface forgot that.
Look up to Sosa, a real motherfucker who handles his business correctly.
Come on pelican!!!
(Haha, that may be my favourite part of the movie when Tony says that though.)
Tony is appeals to the humane side of movie goers. They justify glorifying him because he lived fast, beat up on his wife and sister, killed people including his best friend but wouldn't kill kids.

(Feb 19 07, 12:14)We all loved that movie while growing up, and by "all" I also include the lamest kid in your class too.
Way before hip hop was hip or pop. They have nothing to do with the movie's popularity, that was a great movie period, if jay z , timabalame or tity cent liked it or not.

To say that hip-hop has nothing to do with the movie's popularity is absolutely preposterous.

I could care less about hip hop references, because I don't think I've listened to one of those songs in my life, so I don't even know what they're refering to.
The movie is great, period. And so is the soundtrack, obviously ^_^

99.5 % of gangster/mob movies suck. this is no exception.

(Feb 19 07, 12:29)for people that are constantly diggin in what fifty is doing or saying maybe...
For me? no thanks, I can decide on what I like and what I don't by myself.

Scarface is great. Blow Out is great.
DePalma people.

You are missing the point entirely.
You are suggesting that hip-hop has nothing to do with the movie's success in the past decade because you don't pay attention to hip-hop.
Yet you named Jay-Z whose first album even had someone imitating Scarface in intros and on songs and has continued to name drop him continuously throughout his career, and 50 Cent who even just recently had a song in which direct cuts from the movie were in the song.
Those are the two biggest names in hip-hop (for better or worse [worst]) and some can argue up there in all of current music.
Scarface from Geto Boys chose his moniker as an homage to him.
Nas had a song called, "The World Is Yours".
Mobb Deep has used direct and blatant (on purpose) samples from Giorgio Moroder's soundtrack.
The Latin/Hispanic movement of Hip-Hop hail him as a hero and glorify him in songs as if he was a real person.
Yes, you don't have to like the movie and like hip-hop, but you can not put on blinders and act like other people's initial impression at the very least was not based in hip-hop.
The movie itself carries itself afterwards.
I mean Christ, my fucking old barber had "The World Is Yours" tattoed on his right arm and on the left, "It's mine, it's mine, it's mine."
He is also currently enjoying a concrete vacation, haha.

(Feb 19 07, 12:58)yeah, but that movie was popular way waaaaaay before mtv was shoing rap.
It may have some influence on 12 year olds, that watch and look up to fity, but they wheren't even born when that movie came out anyways..
My father went to see it in the theater and he does not know what hip hop even is.

The Geto Boyz were way into Scarface too. Sampled the shit out of it.
