I think this is was does it for me. I agree there are so many other movies out there before and after that show more gore, but for some reason when I watch Scarface I feel a little disturbed and I think it's because of the way the movie was filmed. It seems very real. Most movies seems like movies, but scarface doesn't feel that way to me. I'm not even sure I could tell you what it is that makes it "more real" than other movies, but that's just how I feel when I watch it.
