One of the best

Rating: 10/10 (3 September 2001)

Next to Vertigo, The Godfather is my favorite movie. The feeling of family is well expressed in the film and although Coppola was criticized for "glorifying the mafia family", the film does not show that but shows a devotee to his father, and his undieing love for his family. The music is great, the atmospheres are great, and the acting is superb. Marlon Brando is at his best in his Oscar winning role, and Al Pacino delivers a superb performance as one of the most well known characters in movie history. No other person would be able to deliver the character of Michael Corleone better then Al Pacino. This is truly a magnificent picture and not much else can be said about it. See for yourself the splendor of Coppola's Oscar winning family.
