One great film

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 1999)

One moment stands out above all in THE GODFATHER (no not the horse's head). It is the slow zoom on Al Pacino when he is revealing his plan to kill Solazzo and the corrupt cop. This is great characterization. It shows Michael Corleone's development from a seemingly weak boy urging to forget his roots to a man ready to take the family helm. The Godfather is possibly the most brilliant film ever put on tape. Oscar winner Marlon Brando is great, but it is Pacino who steals the show in this one. James Caan and Robert Duvall also offer up superb performances. There are many other famous scenes in this one, including the infamous "baptism" scene. The Godfather is filmmaking at its finest.
