Im officialy a fan of Brian DePalma now.

*spoiler to Scarface*

If you liked Scarface then you should check out Carlito's Way. Al Pacino plays the main character and the movie is almost a Scarface sequel (if he had survived).

Watch Carrie.kingkilla3

I would recommend other movies, but they have different directors.

Contained within the original DVD release is a card detailing 10 clues to help the viewer solve the mystery of the film. When the 2004 2-disc DVD edition was released, some of the clues had been reworded. As of 2006, the clue card is no longer being included in the DVD case. The clues are:

1. Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits.

2. Notice appearances of the red lampshade.

3. Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again?

4. An accident is a terrible event... notice the location of the accident.

5. Who gives a key, and why?

6. Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup.

7. What is felt, realized, and gathered at the Club Silencio?

8. Did talent alone help Camilla?

9. Note the occurrences surrounding the man behind Winkies.

10. Where is Aunt Ruth?

The Untouchables.wrlyy

I'm going to second Dog Day Afternoon. The movie just left be breathless. Easily, one of the best male performances I've seen.

Don't watch Carrie. Read the book. The book is great, the movie is atrocious.Brmarlin

The movie truly is awful.

Aw come on now^ I certainly don't think that De Palma is the best director but credit where credit's due. It would be like saying Martin Scorsese wouldn't be so great if not for De Niro. It's a joint effort that makes a movie good and not one power dominating, usually.Lyphe2k

Brian DePalma has sucked for decades since Scarface, and even I thought that Scarface was a pretty crapy movie.

Here's a little exercise for you. Look up all of Brian DePalma's movies. Now tell me how many of them you actually thought were good. I'm not even talking about "great", just "good".

The Untouchables and Scarface were both very good films to me. The Untouchables was an entertaining genre film with one of Ennio Morricone's most underrated scores. Scarface was a technical and visual wonder with a gloriously over-the-top performance from Al Pacino. I dug that last scene alot. Not up with the genius of the Howard Hawks original, but still a well made film that gets an unfair bashing.

Blow-Out is just plain great. The atmosphere and technical direction was impressive, and John Travolta actually managed to turn in a performance that was, well, kind of great. Not up with Blow-Up, of course, but one of the few tribute films that stands incredibly well on its own.

I like Brian De Palma quite a bit. I don't like his recent films, but I think he makes some of the most fascinating disasters around. I have not watched the entirety of The Black Dahlia, but what I've seen really pleased me on a visual level. I think it's safe to say De Palma's recent suckage is due to bad script judgment.
