The Crime? Scarface tracks the rags-to-riches story of Tony Montana (Al Pacino) as he establishes an empire peddling cocaine across America, quickly becoming Miamis premier drugs baron. Though the violence and drug abuse of the Cuban criminals world can be shocking to witness, Scarface is a superbly entertaining look at Miamis criminal underbelly. Why Is It Great? Though it may not be as exceptionally well made as some of the other gangster films to have been featured on this list, Tony Montanas status as one of cinemas iconic bad guys we all secretly wanted to be means that it has to be given a place in the esteemed ranks of these superb crime films. Scarface posters will forever have a home on university dorm walls and say hello to my little friend will always be among the most quoted lines of any crime films
