Iām not really in to crime/gangster films or much of a Scorsese fan either (I like science fiction). I only watched his other movies because I enjoyed Taxi Driver but mentioned his other movies that were worth a watch like Casino.
I suppose itās all about taste and maybe I shouldnāt hate or criticise aviation movies because if youāre in to planes/aviation (which Iām not) then itās a hit selling niche for those who are.
Blade Runner is a āslow movieā (that seemed boring to many viewers) but I loved it because itās my kind of film and taste (sci-fi). I even own the Blade Runner audiobook āDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheepā which they say is superior to the movie. The story of the copper (Rick Deckard) in the movie is around 20% of the passage/few chapters from the book. Whereas the rest of the book tells the story about the dystopian world of how citizens were effected by climate change, cybercrime, renegade AI/androids (in depth), new age emerging religionās, the loss of humanity within people, how the population coped with life in a post-apocalyptic nuclear war and much moreā¦
Never followed the Lethal Weapon trilogy but seen some of the second sequel. I thought the ātoilet bombā scene was quite funny where Roger (played by Danny Glover) was sat on the toilet (pants down) and wasnāt able to get off the toilet because there was a bomb strapped to it that would detonate if he sat up off it. The bomb squad had to come in and awkwardly rescue him (along with his ābuddy copā)
Some heavy emotional scenes, my favorite parts from Scarface, not Tony becoming rich, but this family scenes, how he loved his little sister, his momma being value driven and denying help from her criminal son,Amazing scenesā¦

Look at Ricoās creepy face around 4:23 and 4:58 lol
Iāve seen Scarface a few times, but I wouldnāt say I was a fan of it. I found it alright, but I preferred Carlitoās Way instead, to be honest. Thatās another inspiration for the making of GTA: Vice City if you donāt know, and Ken Rosenbergās is even in it too.
Do you remember that scene with Lalin when it gets caught wearing a wire? Heās likeā¦ āI shit my pants everydayyy maaann!.. come on maaan!ā
If you liked Scarface then youāll enjoy this movie too (Carlitoās Way). Itās not a sequel or anything, itās just a spin-off.
Have you ever seen Donnie Brasco?
Al Pacino is in this too, along with Johnny Depp and Michael Madsen. I would say this particularly has some heavy emotional scenes, itās a great story.
Basically, Donnie Brasco (Johnny Depp) is this undercover FBI agent whoās infiltrated this high-ranking mafia crime family in New York that is supposed to be very dangerous. He posed as this actor with a fake persona and then later on developed this emotional bond or relationship with these gangsters, especially with his crime partner or buddy āLeftyā (Al Pacino). Eventually he got too involved with them and began steering away from his undercover mission as the gangster life was dragging him in or altering his identity and personal character.

Do you know I also wouldnāt mind watching A Bronx Tale (1993) since I havenāt seen that before either but heard really good things about. Itās not epic but itās a nice hidden gem everyone forgets about that anyone should consider on their watch list.
Check this outā¦ a very emotional scene between father and son. The working class man is the tough guy!
For those who love well made occult horror stuff.
This is an older, but amazingly well done creepy movie.
Thatās how movies in this genre should be done!
Director: Michael Mann
Do NOT watch the trailer if you want the full experience.
Of course, movie is not suitable for children of any age.
Man, I just watched that scene!
