The thing that makes Scarface laughable to the modern viewer, besides Pacino's radicchio Cuban accent, is the terrible music. It sounds like someone's trying to lead an orchestra with a Casio keyboard. "Oh, we couldn't afford a real soundtrack, so we found these MIDIs." And when something dramatic is happening, it often slips into straight-up soap opera "dun-dun-dunnn". Too much, too much, I say.
