The Pino Donaggio scores don't help either, and again I'm a fan! I will however have to disagree about Scarface being waaay OTT, if you watch the documentary COCAINE COWBOYS about Miami in the late 70's/early 80's, and Scarface isn't so OTT as you first think!

For me Pacino's performance swamps the entire film, the way he spits out the lines - not a bad as Malkovich in Rounders, but it get's irritating after a while. And the character is an asshole as well...

De Palma is a briliant director better than Kubrick, Lynch, Boyle, et al SCARFACE is brilliant and supposed to be OTT, because everything in the film gets excessive, as its one of its themes BODY DOUBLE is underrated as is FEMME FATALE, RAISING CAIN and SNAKE EYES |

Both kubrick and DePalma are really hit and miss for me. Blow Out was extraordinary!!! I've recently bought Dressed to kill, which I'm told is excellent . |

Dressed To Kill is really good - very much an American giallo... Seek out Sisters as well - excellent pyschothriller and has lots of good hallucinatory weirdness...

Everyone’s probably sick of the Sight & Sound 2012 poll by now but I just wanted to riff on it for a sec... The website linked below gathered a bunch of 1-star reviews IMDB users gave to the classics on the list, and some of the reviews are priceless – I know we’re all grown-ups here and we respect each other’s opinions and all that good stuff, but sometimes people are just plain wrong ! Sight & Sound’s 10 Greatest Films of All Time, and their one-star IMDb reviews Sample review – Top slotter Vertigo This is the most boring film I have ever seen and you will think the same if you see it. This movie goes on forever and never stops ever until it ends. I wish this film had stayed away from me. It’s all about an old guy in a car who is chasing a woman and that’s it. There is more car driving in this film than in maybe a hundred other films all put together. He never even catches her! What a waste of time. I’m not allowed to tell you what happens later in the film but trust me you don’t want to know. It’s rubbish. The film looks so fake like a cartoon and it was about to make me laugh until I remembered how bored I was. I’d rather tidy my bedroom than see another minute of that old guy driving. I don’t want to see this film or anything like it ever again.
