The Godfather vs. Scarface
 
Two classic gangster films, probably the best ever...

Which is better? The godfather with the classic Mafia theme, or Scarface with the gritty life of a big time dealer...

Da Vinci 08-01-04 12:12 AM

The Godfather probably

They are two different types of movies. The Godfather Trilogy focuses more on the dramatic aspect of the roots of Italian mob, up to the point of somewhat modern mafia. It also consists of 3 parts, and is within the top 5 movies ever made as judged by the American Film Institute.

Scarface on the other hand, is a single installment. It focuses on the more modern and flashy concept of Spanish mob within the modern Miami. Unlike The Godfather, when Scarface came out.. it was a total failure in the terms of ticket sales. It only started to become a classic within the undergound, and now is probably the most revered gangster movie.

So, to compare the two is impossible. Its all a personal preference. Me? I would pick Scarface. But thats only what i think.

Godfather was a better story

KOOL COL-B 08-01-04 09:03 PM

Scarface. werd

Lampejo 08-01-04 10:50 PM

Scarface, no question. Because it's closer to our time and more relateable haven the drugs reigns and such.

The Black Plague 08-01-04 11:02 PM

Yes, Scarface is "truer" and what not, but the godfather is classic, and is the best movie i have ever seen... And they are both mob movies that focus on trust and friendship and betrayal and backstabbing, along with other themes such as gangs and corruption.... But godfather is just better....Come on, Marlon Brando, young Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro...Just Classic

Also i think "A Bronx Tale" is a great movie, dealing with racism and mafia life back in the 50's... Sonny and C, a great flick..

Lampejo 08-01-04 11:14 PM

Truuuuuuuuue, I forgot about a bronx tale until you just mentiond it.

KroNuz 08-01-04 11:22 PM

i say godfather....

Lampejo 08-01-04 11:23 PM

Are you talking about the 1st godfather or one of the others in the series?

KroNuz 08-01-04 11:25 PM

but i like casino and good fellas better than both of these.. tho scarface ight.. but godfather 1 is better.. but casino and good fellas even better...

Lampejo 08-01-04 11:26 PM

Na, I liked casino but I wouldnt put it over scarface.

KroNuz 08-01-04 11:27 PM

i dunno scarface good.. but casino good shit.. when pesci' stabs that guy in the throat wit a ball point pen.. shits raw.. then they beat him to death at the end...

Lampejo 08-01-04 11:28 PM

Mmmm ya, but Scarface was just more street. Straight old school gangstah style.

KroNuz 08-01-04 11:29 PM

tru..... i like both.. but what you think about good fellas

Lampejo 08-01-04 11:41 PM

Dam, another one I forgot completely about. It was pretty tite, not on scarface or casinos level though.

Infamuz 08-06-04 07:26 PM

this is no comparison

scarface blow that shit out the water

you sould have said casino or good fellas

then it wold be a tie

Keith Moon 08-06-04 07:29 PM

Scarface...


Godfather series is good....one is good.....2 is ok but good when it focuses on Andolini..........3 iono forgot to weatch it I have the dvd

SCarface is more straight forward...........I like it more but obth are good...

Die Hard 08-06-04 10:41 PM

You have to take into account that they are two totally different movies. The Godfather focuses on a crime family, that overcomes many obstacles, while Scarface, is about a ruthless guy trying to make his way to the top. If i had to chose, i'd pick the Godfather, cuz im italian and all. But they are both my favorites

fluidmoon 08-07-04 12:40 AM

SCARFACE.......................................... ........1, nice sig^ :)

Nynth Degree 08-07-04 01:34 AM

Godfather's got this. Scarface is a classic, but Godfather just had more substance to it, more storyline...

WillNova 08-07-04 03:43 PM

violence, guts, gore, guns, gangsta....he's on fire
ScarFace

For$akeN 08-07-04 05:01 PM

headgames 08-07-04 07:58 PM

The Black Plague 08-08-04 02:27 PM

Yea scarface is nice, but its more just ruthless and doesn't have story or purpose, but its still great... Menace is even more violent, but it has story and is powerful... Godfather is a classic, great story, jus str8 up mafia, comon tho marlon brando is dope in the godfather...

But i think better than both of these is the bronx tale, i love that movie...

M-Eazy 08-08-04 02:28 PM

godfather cause i fuckn hate the way scarface voice, its annoying

MC Wrapper 08-09-04 04:23 PM

OGfromPawtucket 08-09-04 06:33 PM

they both can't compare to goodfellas. and who has jayz on they sig? jayz fuckin sucks

The Jett 08-09-04 06:39 PM

Jay Z does suck.

Nynth Degree 08-09-04 07:00 PM

These are 2 completely different movies! Scarface is about gangsters, the difinitive gangster movie, and Scarface is about a drug dealer. Now if we were talking about the original Scarface from 1932 which was really a gangster movie, then it'd be different. Yeah, Al Pacino's movie was a remake, for those of you who didn't know...

M-Eazy 08-09-04 07:52 PM

^^i had jay-z on my sig, and i bet he sold more than your fav. rapper ever one one of his cd's...asshole, you'se a fuckn asshole...i'll merk you

Kayem 08-10-04 04:17 PM

Sik Wit It 08-19-04 01:04 PM
