I can't believe it took me 31 yrs to see this movie!

Rating: 9/10 (15 July 2003)

The Corleone family saga begins with Brando granting (or refusing) the requests of his friends, family, and neighbors during his daughter's wedding. That's just the beginning of the epic saga that put the name Puzo on the map.
This is a very graphic depiction of the "family" scene. It marks the end of one's control of a territory and the dawning of a new era when Pacino takes over the "family" business.
If you haven't seen this movie, yet, do yourself a favor: don't wait 30 years like I did. Watch it! It was on one of the premium channels the other night and I taped it. I knew it was three hours long and I always thought I would not have the patience to watch it, but I did. In fact, they are showing part two tonight and I am taping that to watch tomorrow night.
