The TVI Take
Brian De Palma's 1983 Cuban-immigrant Tony Montana film anchored by Al Pacino. The structural commitment to letting Oliver Stone's screenplay render the 1980s Miami-cocaine-economy at canonical-excess register, and the canonical 'Say hello to my little friend' line, is the catalog's most-culturally-influential late-Pacino performance.
Polarizing on release; subsequently canonized.
