60 of 115 · most liked firstI'm watching Carlito's Way, and it's actually heartbreaking how few films exist like it today. Big budget, handsomely staged, shot on location, made for grownups. Phenomenal film. A flipside to Scarface, and a better film.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's fun to remember, as a little fun fact, how much the movie Carlito's Way is about the dude who wrote it fucking hating Alan Dershowitz
neutral · AI labelView post →Is it a hot take for me to say CARLITO'S WAY is a vastly superior film to SCARFACE?

neutral · AI labelView post →Carlito's Way (1993) is a highly underrated film, among both De Palma's and Pacino's best work, and deserves every accolade that Scarface accidentally gets
positive · AI labelView post →Annoyingly I can only find it as a Reel but I vividly remember, in the theater, watching the first CARLITO'S WAY teaser that opened with a bunch of audio clips of Pacino's most quotable lines from other movies www.instagram.com/reels/DFWr3J...

neutral · AI labelView post →There IS a film based on the novel Carlito's Way: the 2005 straight-to-DVD prequel Carlito's Way: Rise To Power. If you run a bar trivia night an absolutely brutal question would be "What movie is based on the 1975 novel Carlito's Way?"
neutral · AI labelView post →It's film-ass Friday, as they say 📽️ Can't believe I put off Carlito's Way for so long, De Palma rocks. Spooky season continues strong as well 💪 🎃
positive · AI labelView post →Straight Time (1978) stars Dustin Hoffman. It's the #story of an ex-con who wants to go legit but his criminal connections and love of the game make it difficult. If you're fan of Carlito's Way, chances are you'll enjoy this #movie. Learn more about this #film: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straigh...

neutral · AI labelView post →I believe this Goodreads plot synopsis for After Hours by Edwin Torres, the novel that was eventually turned into the film Carlito's Way, is incorrect
neutral · AI labelView post →Carlito's Way (1993). The movie's based on the #stories of Judge Edwin Torres. I find the movie sad In the #movie, a well connected, respected organized #crime figure fresh out of #prison is forced to confront his past, his reputation, and woman he hurt. But his past won't let him go straight.
neutral · AI labelView post →PTA's best film (BOOGIE NIGHTS) isn't my favorite (OBAA), but that happens a lot for me. Argento? DEEP RED is best, PHENOMENA is my fav. Spielberg? MUNICH and JAWS. Carpenter? THE THING and ASSAULT ON P13. De Palma? CARLITO'S WAY and BODY DOUBLE. Nolan? THE PRESTIGE and MEMENTO. Movies!

neutral · AI labelView post →When Lynch died I realized a lot of the problem with our current crop of movie brat filmmakers is instead of having a connection with/riffing on the emotion and sincerity of Classic Hollywood, they're riffing on the riff. Anyway, currently watching Carlito's Way and feeling more convinced
positive · AI labelView post →I just watched the new Scorsese doc from Apple TV, and DePalma is part of it. Seeing him made me Google his film list to refresh my memory. Carrie. The Untouchables. Dressed to Kill.Scarface. Carlito's Way. The underrated Casualties of War. Mission Impossible. Also, this. A pretty good run,I'd say
neutral · AI labelView post →he never can really stick with an accent and his accents aren't so good, but his acting in Carlito's Way is damned good and that movie is really underrated. John Leguizamo is so good.
positive · AI labelView post →Such a great movie. I posted about being in Scent of a Woman and I was almost in Carlito's Way but they changed their plans lol.
neutral · AI labelView post →Q&A + Carlito's Way are both Edwin Torres bangers, whether 70s novel or 90s film, incredible double tap.
neutral · AI labelView post →Carlito's Way (1993) isn't my genre of movie, this world weary version of Goodfellas. But man De Palma could make great looking movies, so many wonderful sequences, crowds that feel organic, a whole living city. And that subway to train sequence is an all timer. A good Sean Penn supporting

positive · AI labelView post →Faust + Phantom of the Opera + 70s Rock all combine for a camp, kitsch film. Needless to say, I absolutely loved it! It's no Scarface or Carlito's Way, but tell me Brian de Palma doesn't have directorial range! #FilmSky🎥

I mean, yeah, he has some duds, but he also has JURASSIC PARK, CARLITO'S WAY, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, SPIDER-MAN, PANIC ROOM, WAR OF THE WORLDS, STIR OF ECHOES, KIMI, PRESENCE, BLACK BAG, and the upcoming Spielberg science fiction movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →I hated Scarface when I saw it first but love it now. Its excesses are generally appropriate, I think. Very much a film of its time. Carlito's Way I saw on release and thought a temperate de Palma isn't a de Palma worth the bother, so have never re-watched.

positive · AI labelView post →My overriding memory of this is an almost unrecognisable Sean Penn stealing every scene in a curly blonde wig.
