The Godfather because without it.... There would be no Scarface or Goodfellas..

My decision: Both.

I wouldn't be able to resist either Godfather or Scarface. Sold!

I haven't seen Scarface, but I doubt it could be better than The Godfather.

About the quoting... I tend to quote Al Pacino often. Though I don't know where most of the lines come from. Just look at my location and sig.

Can anyone tell me where "just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in" is from?

As for it being a wankfest... Is anyone else really sick of this being used as a catch-all criticism?

Godfather or Scarface screw those crime glorifying movies,i`ll chose Dirty Harry over any gangster movie or tv show anytime.

Until I watch Scarface, I'm going with Godfather

Godfather is the superior movie, Scarface I just found too gory, but I will admit that it is more quotable ...

Godfather. I like class.

As much as I love The Godfather trilogy and Scarface, I also have to mention other gangster movies like The Krays and Lock, Stock as well as Snatch.

I can't really pick a best one, sorry. But at least my status as a North American doesn't change.

Let's just take a look at my DVD's .... hmmmmm... Goodfellas, Godfather trilogy box set ... no sign of Scarface. Godfather all the way!

I'm more suprised people don't leap away from you like a leper if you admited you had seen The Postman (I assume you are refering to the Costner movie and not the Italian movie, which has nothing to do with the former).

Well, I've seen neither, but I have been contemplating picking up the new Scarface DVD. Perhaps I should do that before my American citizenship is revoked, and I find myself stranded in Mexico.

Hell yeah AV, and let's not forget the one where Caine is a hitman hired by his wife to kill the guy she's been having an affair with.

I forget that one, but Get Carter is brilliant.

Scarface left me kinda cold. But i would say that. I come from a family that set up one of the 1st loyalist paramilitaties and when they did it they modeled the structure on the American/Itallian Mafia. I have to prefer the Godfather, it's a genetic thing.

Godfather. Montana is too unstable. And too dead, but anyway.

His attitude was his strength and weakness, that led to his downfall, unfortunately.

Damn that Sosa...

He was also a nasty drunk. I have no sympathy for beligerant drunks.

Which was balanced by the amount of blow he snorted. How great was that ending!

They could sell that shit to pastry companies as flour there was so much of it.

I think the basic difference is that, when knocking someone off, Montana was gung-ho and insane about it (except the part about killing the guy with his wife and kid). Don Corleone ordered killings like he was ordering pizza.

It wasn't just killing people; Montana was too hyper in everything he did. But the guys in the Godfather triology were smooooth.

Lets not forget Sonny. As cool as he was, he did have the habit of flying off the handle at times.

Lord Pounder · Post by **Lord Pounder** » 2003-10-11 08:01pm

The thing is in The Godfather you're kinda pulling for the bad guys. I usually do. But even a cold hearted fuck like me couldn't cheer on Montana.
