Legendary

Rating: 10/10 (4 September 2019)

It has endlessly quotable dialogue and an iconic performance by Marlon Brando, as Don Vito Corleone. It also has one of the most memorable scores in motion picture history and some of the best acting you are ever going to see anywhere. In short, the Godfather is one of cinemas all-time great achievements. Francis Ford Coppola's gangster saga is as close to perfect as a film can get. There is not a false note to be found in this epic and gripping story of family, loyalty and the corrupting nature of power. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and few films in history have been as imitated as the Godfather. A seminal work of American cinema.
