I know I will get flamed for this, but I honestly find Scarface (the Pacino version) to be one of the most overrated movies of all time.

I mean it's good, probably very good, but way too many people consider it to be the greatest movie ever made. Just my opinion of course, but I just don't think it's better then movies like Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco, The Unouchables, Heat, or Goodfellas.

I find myself being forced to watch it constantly whenever buddies are over for poker or whatever, but I just don't think it's that great. Even the Muni version from the 30's is a better film. Heck I bet I could name more then 5 Pacino movies that are better than Scarface (The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, Heat, Serpico, Donnie Brasco, Insomnia, even The Insider, or Glengarry Glen Ross).
