Agreed, Carlito's way is one of my all time favorite gangster movies. From when the mobsters showed up at his nightclub to whack him, and the end, it was probably some of the most tense 20 minutes of film ever. Donnie Brasco was awesome as well. Both those films were unreal.
From a performance standpoint, Pacino was far better in both than Scarface. I think a big part of the appeal of the film is the guy appeal and over the top violence. Most women don't get Sacrface.
If you are picking movies about drug dealers, I would say Blow was actually better.
