Quality fim! Although IMHO Godfather 2 was slightly better, as it chronicled the Brando characters arrival in America and his reason for entering the underworld. Deniro's portrayl as the young Corleone is one of his best performances. James Caan, in Godfather 1, is very good, as is Pacino and Brando. Title: Once Upon A Time In America.

I always preferred Godfather Pt II but after watching them both again I enjoyed the first installment more. I can actually tolerate the Godfather pt III :oops: Title: Once Upon A Time In America.

Go out and get them now and watch them both tonight You wont regret it Title: Once Upon A Time In America. Post by: pauld on Saturday, January 20, 2007, 19:16:56 :oops: Neither have I (seen Godfather) and I'm not quite sure how but I did get the DVD boxed set of all of them for Christmas. Sadly the chances of me getting the time to time to watch any of them before next Christmas is roughly on a par with Chalrton staying up. I await a stern and well deserved telling off on my life priorities from Lumps :D

I haven't seen Scarface yet though, think I might record it with the freeview thing I have and watch MOTD though Title: Once Upon A Time In America.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, January 21, 2007, 00:03:03 Meh, that didn't make sense. I meant I view the films as a collective, not three individual films.

Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, January 21, 2007, 12:40:16 Some people say that the 1st one is good, the second is the best and the third one is gash, but if you consider them to be one big long story, on the whole it's really quite good. I even like the ending.
It's a bit like Back to the Future really. I think the second is bestest but Doc and Marty don't get to sort things out until the end of the third film, so really it's one big long ace adventure. |
