Scarface, with Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. While kind of slow (maybe by "today's" frenetic standards, I suppose), Scarface does have a certain Shakespearean grandeur to it, like a tragedy spread over many years. I loved the way the camera would track slowly back and forth rather than just cutting between shots, it was something I've not seen much at all but was used to wonderful effect. And the one-liner moments in this movie! Great stuff. There's not really a single "good guy" in the story, but it's hard not to like Tony Montana, somehow.
