Probably the best movie of all time

Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2001)

The Godfather is without doubt one of the very best drama films ever. The directing is excellent, the scenes are really beautiful, the dialogue is of very high standard, but most of all: the acting cannot be compared with anything I've ever seen on film (perhaps with the exception of the follow-up "The Godfather, part II").
Marlon Brando is always Marlon Brando, and Al Pacino is almost as good. The Godfather is not just a cool gangster movie, it is also about how fragile life is and the impossibility of having total control over a situation.
The war between the New York mafia families shown in this movie is similar to most struggles for power, both on a smaller and a larger scale.
