Scarface vs The Public Enemy vs Little Ceasar
These are the origional Gangster flicks. So which is better?
They are all great films, but to me, despite the fact that The Public Enemy has Jimmy Cagney and Little Ceasar has Ed G Robinson, I couldn't help but feel that Scarface has stood the test of time better. Okay perhaps the fact that it was remade and that it's hard to watch the origional without recognising scenes from the remake may make it feel more ahead of it's time then it was, but I would still say Scarface was the better film of the three. It just seemed to have more of a cutting edge to it. I think perhaps the Warner Bro's got a bit too caught on the morale dilema of making Gangster films with the other two.
