People say "Scarface is the best movie ever!" all the time. I hear it all the time, at least. And it's not even close to one of the all time greatest films. The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, Taxi Driver, etc... Those movies are considered "the best." Scarface doesn't rank up there for me. Sure, it's really good -- but one of the best? Not in my eyes.
People NEVER give Jackie Brown the credit it deserves... So how in the blue hell can it be over-rated?
Usually when people say Scarface is the best movie of all time, they usually just mean that it's their favorite. I agree that Raging Bull, Goodfllas, etc are considered some of the best movies ever made, whereas Scarface is really a cult classic. As for Jackie Brown, I never said it was overrated. In fact, if anything it's underrated!
