Screenwriter Oliver Stone and director Brian De Palma faithfully transposed Howard Hawks’ gangster classic 50 years forward to the ‘80s coke boom, inspiring a generation of rap tropes and kindling the conflagration of Al Pacino’s “Big Al” late acting style in the process. Pacino is still arguably great here, but the secret sauce is disco titan Georgio Moroder’s synth-driven score. -Lee Gardner
