The Godfather isn’t pretentious; it’s perfection!
Don’t misunderstand me: I love The Godfather. The movie is class through and through. Sometimes, however, you don’t want class. You want sleaze and over-the-top violence, which is what you get from Scarface.
Compared straight across the board, The Godfather is the better movie, hands down. I watch it more more often than Scarface, but sometimes all of that lush cinematography and restrained storytelling can be a bit claustrophobic.
