The fated first-born.

**** out of **** The most overrated word is most definitely "overrated". Recently, I've heard the word been used in the most peculiar of situations; one of them being to describe the world-renowned cinematic classic, "The Godfather". Cinephiles of all ages are always attacking "classics" because they go in with some pretty large expectations. And when they don't get the "best movie of all time", they start making up reasons why the movie might be "bad". See...I don't like … more

I did not care for the book so much as i did the movie. The movie was fantastic, being so old that is. I like old gangster movies. I like all old movies like this but this is my favorite. Would recommend to anyone.

An All-time Classic

One of the best films I have ever seen with a lot of memorable scenes and classic lines. On top of that probably the best directing ever and a perfect cast.Don Corleone, I honor you!Memorable dialogue to the last word (Michael is it true? No!).

This is one of my two favorite movies of all time.

Rarely does a film manage to express the power of a novel from which it was based -- but "The Godfather" does manage to do quite well. Realizing that the entire second section of the novel could not be fit into the movie (but was cleverly woven into "The Godfather, part 2") Puzo and Coppola produced a film which was remarkably consistent with the remainder of the book (although there are a few 'jumps' in the plot which make more sense to someone also familiar with the book). The cast for this picture … more
