Great movies...great times...

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2006)

Before I started college, I watched a bunch of DVDs. A couple notable titles were "The Lord of the Rings" (actually a series) and "The Godfather." Both are excellent movies that are deserving of the top spots in "best movies ever made." However, I was extremely excited when I was waiting for this film.
Everything about "The Godfather" is not like any other film period - the story is strong, the film-making is excellent, the directing is spectacular - and at first, I thought the film was going to be three hours long! (The last "Lord of the Rings" movie clocks in, for the original version, at 3 hours 20 minutes!) This movie is, in fact, about 20 minutes shorter, which was a relief after finishing the "Lord of the Rings" series.
And yes, I can easily see why this movie got the top spot in IMDb's "250 Best Movies Ever Made" list. After seeing this, I started looking at bad movies like crazy just so that I could say "Been there, done that!" Hey, I love my movies! "The Godfather" is a highly recommended movie. No one should enjoy their movies without this title!
