The Best Movie of the Past, Present, and possibly the Future

Rating: Null/10 (8 October 1999)

I have seen The Godfather about 30 times and each and every time I see it, it still manages to impress me. It's not like any other "mob" movie that's out there. It's about loyalty, honor, and family which were the most important aspects of the early-day Mafia. It exemplifies every aspect of the commitment to keep a family together no matter what. The saga of the Corleone family, from "Don" Corleone and then to Michael Corleone, is absolutely brilliant. There isn't one defining moment; the movie as a whole is a tremendous masterpiece. I don't believe there will be another movie that will come close to capturing the depth and beauty of this film; at least not in this lifetime.
