Sure, it would be missing something, but come on, Scorsese's direction is what impacted them the most. Raging Bull was very innovative.

And plot is a major factor in film. Overused plots are just that, overused. My opinion will not change. I can enjoy a film and still give it a shitty rating. There's a big difference between enjoyment and a film's greatness to me.

If Scarface didn't have the acting, it would be medicore to me. DePalma did nothing special with it. The script itself was horrible, written by Oliver Stone.
