Excellent, but Sequel is even better.

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 1999)

Without doubt, The Godfather is an excellent movie. The acting, script, mood, music, cinematography and an indefinable haunting quality, all make for one of the finest movies ever made.
However, I believe that the Godfather 2 is an even greater film. In fact, I consider it to be the best film I have ever seen. The last poignant moment of the movie with Michael Corleone in reflective mood, is in my opinion, one of the classic scenes in cinematic history. That one scene has always remained with me and I always associate it with this movie. I was pleased to see that this scene was also included in the most memorable moments in movie history at a recent Academy Awards ceremony.
