Just watched "The Godfather" trilogy......
After waiting for weeks for it to arrive, the last three nights have been spent up til 4 watching 1 part per ngiht.
I loved the first movie, it has been promoted to the number 1 spot on YMDB.
The second one was an excellent film that wasn`t quite as good - but still brilliant.
The third was rather disappointing. Everyone has aged and Michael has tried to go legit an d it doesn`t have the same fulfillment of the first 2.
The bonus disc contains some excellent special features - overall an absolute bargain for £17.
RE: Just watched "The Godfather" trilogy......
I have been wanting this for ages, someday I will finally promote it to the #1 spot on my wishlist and bite the proverbial bullet!

Is this the first time you`ve seen "The Godfather"?
I`d never make a sound judgement of a film with justing one viewing, nevermind put it on the Top of a list.
Ok, you people! Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we`re not back by dawn... call the president.

And why not?
RE: Just watched "The Godfather" trilogy......
I think it`s obvious that Jim will be watching them again, so why not?
I only saw these films at the end of last year when I received the boxset as a gift. I`m not sure which of the first two films is the best, cause they are both pretty darn good. But the third is a distant last, although not as bad as I had been made to believe.
But £17 is a steal ;-)
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how wrong it is ;-)
RE: Just watched "The Godfather" trilogy......
I personally count Part II as my favourite film ever.
EVH

Richard, I personally think that someone can form a very accurate opinion of a film from one viewing. If it is compelling enough and draws the viewer in, then it will continue to do so with almost the same power time after time.

RE: Just watched "The Godfather" trilogy......
The Godfather for me [both parts one and two] stands on top of the mountain in cinematic perfection,they have it all....acting at its very best from some of the soon to be biggest names in the business, a director [whos talent would touch genius more than once in his career] at the very top of his talent, the grand Hollywood-esq return to favour of a bygone superstar, a score unequaled in its simplicity and yet matching its epic scale and last but not least,its one of those few true gems Hollywood gives us that, like a fine wine, truly refuses to age.
Where on earth have you picked this set up for £17.00????
I already have it, but at that price would buy a couple more for gifts.
Apparently one in five people in the world are Chinese. Coming from a family of five therefor one of them must be Chinese. Its either my mum or dad, my older brother Colin or my younger brother Mao Tse Cheung. I think its Colin.

"then it will continue to do so with almost the same power time after time."
Exactly. I have watched films that I really liked upon first viewing, however on repeated viewings, they didn't hold up. Similarly, I have watched films that I disliked on first viewing and on repeated really liked.
I can write reviews and formulate an opinion on a film that I have watched once. But I wouldn't knock it onto a list so hastily. That's all I'm saying.

A bargain over at Littlewoods Extra. If you go to www.avforums.com and look under special offers and trail through the godfather post you`ll find out how there.
