The Godfather: "...and then, believe me, they would fear you."
It seems that American moviegoers traditionally have had almost as much of a fascination with films about the criminal underbelly of society as they?ve had with movies about our military heroes. Before The Godfather, there was a long and illustrious line of popular gangster movies stretching all... Read full review »
Hold Your Friends Close and Your Enemies Closer: The Godfather
Family and ritual are very important to the Corleones. Staunchly Catholic, they believe in church weddings, baptisms, and funerals. Every important milestone in life is celebrated with religious rites – baptism, first communion, wedding, and funeral. Equally important are the family traditions;... Read full review »
The GODFATHER, "Where's Michael. We're Not Taking the Picture Without Michael"
"Where's Michael. We're Not Taking the Picture Without Michael"
These words are the first said in this film by Godfather Don Corleone when in dialog with his family at his daughters wedding. I believe, in hindsight, after seeing the film that these words were a precursor to this film...

Godfather Vhs(not Dvd) Brando/pacino,
Based on the bestselling novel by Mario Puzo (who co-wrote the screenplay with director Francis Ford Coppola), THE GODFATHER tells an epic tale of Mafia life in America during the 1940s and '50s. Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) is the family patriarch balancing a love of his family with an ambitious criminal instinct. At the wedding of the Don's daughter, Connie (Talia Shire), youngest son Michael (Al Pacino) is reunited with his family. A subsequent assassination attempt leaves the Don too ill to run the family business, forcing Michael and Sonny (James Caan), with the help of consigliere Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall), to lead the Corleones into a vendetta-filled war with other mob families. Violent revenge ensues as the family tries to change from its old criminal ways into legitimacy. Coppola's certified masterpiece, which won three Oscars (including Best Picture) and spawned an Oscar-winning sequel (THE GODFATHER PART II), set a new screen standard for merging blood-soaked violence with intimate family drama.

The Godfather (Widescreen Edition) [VHS]
Generally acknowledged as a bona fide classic, this Francis Ford Coppola film is one of those rare experiences that feels perfectly right from beginning to end--almost as if everyone involved had been born to participate in it. Based on Mario Puzo's bestselling novel about a Mafia dynasty, Coppola's Godfather extracted and enhanced the most universal themes of immigrant experience in America: the plotting-out of hopes and dreams for one's successors, the raising of children to carry on the good work, etc. In the midst of generational strife during the Vietnam years, the film somehow struck a chord with a nation fascinated by the metamorphosis of a rebellious son (Al Pacino) into the keeper of his father's dream. Marlon Brando played against Puzo's own conception of patriarch Vito Corleone, and time has certainly proven the actor correct. The rest of the cast, particularly James Caan, John Cazale, and Robert Duvall as the rest of Vito's male brood--all coping with how to take the mantle of responsibility from their father--is seamless and wonderful. --Tom Keogh
