and the time has came to the legendary movie Scarface with director Martin Bregman.Also this movies Special edition DVD is available now.

After that, Al Pacino's professional life took off. He earned three consecutive Oscar nominations for his roles in Serpico, The Godfather Part II (which was just as successful and brilliant as the first,) and Dog Day Afternoon. He refused to take roles simply for financial gain; instead he accepted parts that were powerful, meaningful, important; this helped establish him as a powerful new force amongst his peers.

Al was also involved in a serious romance between actress Jill Clayburgh for several years, but it faded when they simply did not have time for each other anymore. Fortunately, the split was amicable. He also hooked up with future Author! Author! co-star Tuesday Weld, but that relationship didn't last long.

There are, in every actor's career, flops. They are unavoidable, and Al has certainly had his share of them. Bobby Deerfield (which did had an upside: he met beautiful actress Marthe Keller while the film was in production and they became an item within a matter of days), and 1980's Cruising to name a couple, but he got right back on top again in 1979's ...And Justice For All which earned him yet another Best Actor Oscar nomination, despite the film being panned by most critics. After a comedic movie called Author! Author! (which earned him a Golden Globe nomination), Al Pacino was offered a role in a 1983 film that would solidify his status as a screen legend

Scarface tells the story of a "political refugee" from Cuba named Tony Montana, who goes to the US to escape the reign of Fidel Castro in 1980, and joins the massive Cuban crime wave (mostly present in Miami). Tony's life is one of literally nothing to everything (with all that comes with it: cocaine, booze, women, and lots and lots of money), and then ultimately ends in tragic death. The film became a landmark for the street community and remains to be one of the biggest cult features of all time. Al Pacino's performance is nothing short of amazing. Despite its critical panning in the early '80s, it's now featured on many "Top Movies of the Twentieth Century" lists, and probably will be for years to come.
