Not just a guy film.... maybe

Rating: 10/10 (16 August 2003)

What can I say about The Godfather that hasn't already been said? The film is a masterpiece of cinema, innovative and compelling. I had the privilege of seeing it on the `big screen' recently at the local theater that shows classics and was as riveted as the first time I saw this film.

The Godfather has been labeled a `guy's film' and I am generally inclined to disagree based on the fact that I am obsessed with it. However, upon further reflection, I have to give some credence to this theory since A) My tastes are atypical, B) While most of my friends worship this film as well, they are all guys and C) It was a virtual testosterone fest at the theater.
Regardless, it's a great film and should be viewed at least once in one's lifetime. If anything, you can slip in some great quotes and horrible impressions at parties.
