I know, shame on me right? But hey, better late than never. I just saw it last night and it didn't disappoint whatsoever.

Had just finally seen 'Goodfellas' last weekend as well.



Gonna' see TGPT2 & 3 soon as well. Have em' on blu-ray, just haven't gotten' around to seeing them yet. The chick Mike married in Italy was [expletive]in' BEAUTIFUL, so brutal though the way they killed her, yikes!

Yea mad late but at least you seen it, part 3 is disappointing but part 2 is great just as good as the first.

You should watch Casino and Once Upon a Time in America too it's starring Robert De Niro as this Jewish gangster in NY during prohibition is pretty good too.

^ Seen 'Casino', awesome as well, seen only parts of 'OUATIA', need to catch it all.

Never to late to see one of the greatest movies of all time.
Congrats and glad you enjoyed.
Like NYC said above, Part 2 is amazing, 3 is weak.
Whats great to think about after seeing part 2 and knowing more about the drug import empires is Scarface is the extension of what all the families talked about when negotiating the sale of meth amphetamines and the affect their decisions in that meeting had for years to follow.

i saw it for the first time when i was like 23 or 24 or something, while building my DVD collection...watched them all in sequence over 2 days...then saw scarface, goodfellas, and casino all in the same week...good times! i was super late to the party as well

I've still never seen The Godfather movies .... Probably cause there really long, aren't they?

[Mr Terrific]

1st 2 Godfathers might be the best movies ever made.Btw in Goodfellas the "you are a funny guy" scene in the restaurant wasn't in the script; Joe Pesci made it up on the spot,but Scorcese kept the camera rolling anyway.

There is a version available that puts the first 2 films in chronological order. Kind of cool. Starts with the young Vito in Italy.

The third one is not very good. However, if you ever take the time to research the back story behind it, it makes it more interesting. There are rumors that the Pope who preceded JP II was murdered, and there were issues with corruption at the Vatican bank.

Read that stuff and then watch III, and you might find yourself at least mildly entertained.

Cano, if you loved the movie.. The book is [expletive]ing better than the movie. And read Puzo's The Sicilian.
