Meeklo I am sure that movie has made waaaay more money on dvd than it did in the theatre. I believe you may be missing the point.
Mimio has it right, the geto boys wee samploing the shit out of that movie in the 80's. this isnt just what rappers are doing 20 years later.

Meeklo you are again missing the point, and only reading what you want to read to support an argument in which you have nothing to base it on besides personal experience between yourself and your father.
I am not talking about hip-hop's affect on the movie's popularity in 1983. I am talking about the past decade (give or take probably closer to about 15 when it started becoming more prevalent).
The film became an underground phenomenon in the late 90's basically, and was only available on VHS while pretty much every movie was being transferred to DVD.
It wasn't even until 2003 that this movie was released on DVD and guess what it had with it ... a special bonus featurette on the movie's affect on hip-hop and vice versa.
It shouldn't detract from the movie itself, and in reality it doesn't.
There are just seemingly almost countless cases of how the two are now almost synonymous in American Popular Culture to a certain age demographic, which is the driving power behind the movie's recent re-surge.
Even video games bite the movie in the original Hitman (one of the bad guys in some jungle) and GTA: Vice City.

Funny thing about GTA: VC - I actually played the entire game and didn't take the hint until the last mission when all those guys stormed the house.
"Oooooh, just like from Scarface."

yes, you keep repeating yourself.
but who cares if the new generations only know about the movie through fity? how does that change the fact that the movie was good or bad.I see your point, and I'm not missing it, I know what you are saying, thats great!
Now listen to what I'm saying, I can care less of what a bunch of clowns are doing on trl, I liked the movie before they knew how to use a sampler. I liked the movie, I probably need to wait a few years to watch it again cause I just saw it on tv. It was a great movie but not in my top list.
I think you should not change your opinions based on what those guys are doing.
that is my only point.
and I say this because of your comment about how that movie was great back in the day, but now that hip hop took it, and use it to sell is lame.

Rush, rush to the yayo!
And as good as the soundtrack to Scarface is, nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the Back to the Future soundtrack. Nothing. Nada.
Although Grosse Point Blank comes close.

Meeklo needs to take the color personality test and post the actual results

"You are emotionally unavailable..."

Justin's Actual Problem
Does not wish to be involved in differences of opinion, contention or argument, preferring to be left in peace.
hahahaha, yeah right.
- Meeklo0
I just did the test..
here are the results:
"Physical illness, over-tension, or emotional distress have taken a severe toll. His self-esteem has been reduced and now needs peaceful conditions and considerate treatment to permit recovery."
I thought it was going to tell me something I didn't knew.. :(
- version30
well at least we all understand why your panties are in a bunch over this movie/soundtrack now :D

"Delights in the tasteful, the gracious, and the sensitive, but maintains her attitude of critical appraisal and refuses to be swept off her feet unless genuineness and integrity can be absolutely vouched for. Therefore keeps a strict and watchful control on her emotional relationships as she must know exactly where she stands. Demands complete sincerity as a protection against her own tendency to be too trusting."
whoa.
