The Godfather
Coppola's award-winning adaptation of Mario Puzo's novel about a fictional Mafia family in the late 1940s. Revenge, envy, and parent-child conflict mix with the rituals of Italian mob life in America. Minutely detailed, with excellent performances by Pacino, Brando, and Caan as the violence-prone Sonny. Film debut of Coppola's daughter Sofia, the infant in the baptism scene, who returns in "Godfather III." The horrific horse scene is an instant chiller. Indisputably an instant piece of American culture. Followed by two sequels.

the trilogy moves my soul. i can watch them over and over and over again. Brando starts sexy, Pacino continues sexy, & Garcia erupts sexy. hope there is no continuance. to do so would sully the story.

Muhammed Ali in boxing. Wayne Gretzky in Hockey. Michael Jordan in Basketball. The Godfather in Movies.
All of the above are the undisputed best ever in their fields. This film is the greatest of all time. Without a shadow of a doubt.
