MCT:October 6, 2008Don Corleone: I never wanted this for you. I work my whole life - I don't apologize - to take care of my family, and I refused to be a fool, dancing on the string held by all those bigshots. I don't apologize - that's my life - but I thought that, that when it was your time, that you would be the one to hold the string. Senator Corleone; Governor Corleone. Well, it wasn't enough time, Michael. It wasn't enough time.
Michael: We'll get there, pop. We'll get there.
The story begins as "Don" Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia "family", oversees his daughter's wedding. His beloved son Michael has just come home from the war, but does not intend to become part of his father's business. Through Michael's life the nature of the family business becomes clear. The business of the family is just like the head of the family, kind and benevolent to those who give respect, but given to ruthless violence whenever anything stands against the good of the family. Don Vito lives his life in the way of the old country, but times are changing and some don't want to follow the old ways and look out for community and "family". An up and coming rival of the Corleone family wants to start selling drugs in New York, and needs the Don's influence to further his plan. The clash of the Don's fading old world values and the new ways will demand a terrible price, especially from Michael, all for the sake of the family.
The Godfather is a definitive example of cinematic perfection. There is nothing lacking from the film; acting, direction, cinematography; all perfect. And, like any good American classic, it becomes better with every viewing. Marlon Brando seems to get all the credit, but I believe Al Pacino delivered the film's greatest performance, as well as one of cinema's greatest. The Godfather is timeless, and will be treasured for decades to come. -

those of my favorite film with a wonderful of the mafia movie in the '70's, based on the novel by italian-american mario puzo, and francis ford coppola did the director.
marlon brando perfromed as mafia bosses vito corleone in rest of the film and then he became retired and his son michael corleone(al pacino)is the change of the family. i enjoy the beginning of the movie with the wedding(of connie and carlo's wedding)scene about an 20 minute. so follow next sequel for part II(1974)and part III(1990).
way to go for the academy award winner for the best picture, best actor, and the screenplay! -

Francis Coppola's epic gangster saga The Godfather is rightfully considered by many to be one of the best films of all time. Being swept up into this gritty and romantic post war Italian mob drama is one of the best ways to spend an evening. Masterfully executed and unforgettable; it was a great one to re-experience on blu ray.

If this isn't the greatest film ever made, then it's certainly unquestionably one of them and if you don't think so objectively then you are a certified grade A dumb bastard. Honestly. But don't be offended by that because it took me 30 years to watch this movie and it was more than I expected it to be. It's about family and blood ties, with Michael being forced to step up and take the Corleone family reigns after a series of violent attacks leave him no choice. The family is tight circles like these and this gives you a great example of that.

The acting was so cool. I think cool is a good word to use to describe this movie. Marlon Brando was awesome, as were the others. I liked to story. It was good. Sorry this review isnt that lengthy or specific but I just cant think of how to explain the movie to you. Definitly something everyone should see though.

This movie is wonderful. Francis Ford Coppola is a great...no EXCELLANT directer. Mario Puzo has a great vision for a movie as well as his novel which this movie is based off of. It also has a great cast(I can't believe how young Talia Shire is!),but most importantly this is a masterpiece and is SHEER GENIUS!!! I DEFINETELY RECOMMEND WATCHING THIS. YOU WON'T BE DISAPOINTED!!! One of the greatest films ever made!!! Another fact is that Al Pacino is so CUTE in this movie!!!

A great film about organized crime, and the crime family that is deeply involved in it. Violent, and very operatic, with a hidden message about the value and importance of family. Brando simply steals the show.

MCT:September 25, 2008I don't think I'd really enjoy it, but it is such a classic that I should take the time to watch it sometime

One of the most perfect paintings I know of in film. (...sometimes my compliments go wrong.) It's a great film, and the second is at least as good and probably even better.

With the exception of GWTW, this may be the greatest movie ever made. There are only a few movies on my favorites list that I can find no flaws whatsoever with, but this is one of them.

the best best Mobster Gangster movie ever to of come out in the 1970s. The Godfather is based on the classic best selling novel by Mario Puzo. a epic tale of a 1940s New York Mafia family and their struggle to protect their empire from rival families as the leadership switches from the father to his youngest son. The Godfather stars Al Pacino,James Caan,John Cazale,Marlon Brando,Richard S. Castellano,Robert Duvall,Diane Keaton and Talia Shire. i think this is the best out of the trilogy. a masterpiece of fillmaking from director Francis Ford Coppola. love the classic tagline:I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse.

A truly epic story about family,How Pacino didn't get an Oscar is anyone's guess.
Watching Michael change as the movie progress is the very heart of the movie. One of my all time favorites. -
MCT:September 10, 2008
Marlon Brando is so cool in this movie, he makes the whole movie a very good movie. Don't really know how to put it another way, but it's a must-see movie

MCT:September 5, 2008What is this??
Very very uninteresting. Most uninteresting movie I've ever know. I want something that's cute and enchanting, not a boresome story about the life of a granpapa!
It looks dull, dusty, old, and a real goodnight kisser!
Booring.... -

Perfect movie. Perfect Brando, Perfect Pacino. They can pass to you the feeling that they are people too, beyond the moster you see. You can see the feeling behind each murder, and you can see the cruelty, and the hard life of Mafia during the 40's on the U.S. Applauses, cheerings, Congratulations to Ford Coppola for this Masterpiece.
