As good as it gets...

Rating: 10/10 (4 July 2001)

The Godfather has been a tradition in my family forever. Even when I was young I wanted to see what this "wonderful" movie was like. Finally, when I was eight, my whole family got together on New Year's Eve to watch the trilogy and The Godfather became my all time favorite movie. There is nothing better. I've seen the movie a million times, and never get tired of it. I also enjoy watching the little documentary before the movie, but that totally spoils some of it if you haven't seen it before. My family says I like Part 1 more than Part 2 because Marlon Brando was in it (yes, partly, but he's my favorite actor), but the story was so much better. Many movies that are based on the book tend to add ridiculous scenes, but the Godfather kept true to the story. All of the actors were wonderful, and now, the Corleone family is like a part of my family.
