This Academy Award-winning sequel also stars Robert De Niro as the young Vito Corleone. His almost devil-may-care rise to power stands in stark contrast with Michael’s precarious position as the head of his family. When Michael survives a near-hit, he realizes someone in his family has betrayed him, leading to a classic kiss between brothers with the line, “You broke my heart.” Roth’s Miami house looks like somewhere you might go visit your aging grandmother and be served hard candies; the city’s clean streets are tame when viewed next to scenes of a pre-revolutionary (by mere minutes) Havana.

But back in the day, it stirred up controversy. Miami Cubans were upset about their portrayal, and though producers tried to convince them that “Scarface” was an anti-Castro story, they weren’t buying. Ultimately, director Brian De Palma and company shot exteriors in Miami and the rest of the film in Los Angeles. For a while, “Scarface” held the record for the number of times the “F” word is used (thank screenwriter Oliver Stone).

Great Miami touches here include Mary’s elderly neighbor Magda (Lin Shaye), so tan she’s basically orange (and this was before Charlize Theron was doing it).

But what gives this movie its wacky ‘70s kick is Bruce Dern playing former Vietnam POW Michael Lander, who didn’t come back with all his marbles and now pilots the Goodyear blimp over football games.

She wants a normal life with Baldwin -- one where she can cook him dinners of pork chops and vinegar pie. Add to the mix Fred Ward as a detective who has a rather lovely habit of removing his teeth to talk to people. “Miami Blues” gives both a seedy side of Miami – there’s a great shot of a graffiti behind some drug dealers that reads, “Next time give me what I want” -- and an idyllic all-American one."; // END editorial data
