Did you know they're making a new version of Scarface! Most likely be based in LA! The Brian De Palma version with Al Pacino was actually a remake of the original 1932 classic with Paul Muni.
One of my favorite movie quotes is in Casino. "No one stays at the top forever."

Great pick! Carlito Brigante! Remember me..."I'm Benny Blanco from the Bronx." Sadly the sequel wasn't as good...I own it.
