Scarface...noooo....
I think its a very entertaining movie but it is completely overrated. It isn't even the best movie about cocaine (Blow > Scarface)
Some of my favorites (not the greatest movies ever) include:
Blow, Snatch, Coach Carter, Remember the Titans (<3 Sports movies), Traffic, Hustle & Flow, Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, American History X, Crash, Mission Impossible II, and Saw (incredible ending)
If you want to talk about "greatest" you need to bring in Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart, The Passion, Exorcist, and Godfather I -

"Blow > Scarface" is the biggest crock of all time, and I had to stop reading your post after you said that.
Other good ones people didn't mention are A Clockwork Orange, The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, The Crow, Enter the Dragon, Major League, and Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas -
Definitley watch "City of God". I absolutely loved this movie. "Lucky # Slevin" was one of the best newer movies i've seen in awhile. Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs....soo many more but my mind is blank.

He's right about Scarface being overrated. I like the movie, but it isn't THAT great, it gets a lot of "fake" respect.
And the OP is obviously a fan of gangster flicks, but Donnie Brasco isn't that great of a gangster flick, the movie isn't very entertaining. The book is fucking fantastic, but the movie is C quaility. -

I think Braveheart is way over-rated, and I wouldn't even put it in the top 100.
Predator, however, is real good -

a lot of great films posted here, for the most part i agree. but id like to add 'lock stock and two smoking barrels' (personal fav). saw this after i saw snatch, and while snatch is excellent, id have to say lock stock tops it.

anchorman may prove (with time) to be among the greatest - wedding crashers never will.

Yeah. Lock Stock and Snatch are both good ones. I wonder why that director (madonna's husband) hasn't made more films since then?
It's like Wilmer Valderama says:
"He's got a unique style. He brings something different to the table. He has a lot of energy, and it works." -

did u ever see revolver, same guy did that too.. im brain dead right now and too lazy to look up the director/cast but its all the same guys from snatch and lock stock and then some.. IMDB it. but yeah, its a very unique style and if it takes years upon years to put out a classic, so be it.
