The pinnacle of American film. Undoubtedly a masterpiece.

You may be wondering what all the fuss is about. Allow me to explain. What we have here in The Godfather is a film that is flawless in mostly every area. A film so deeply ingrained in our pop-culture that we aware of it without a direct mention. It takes a rich, deep, and intimate narrative; mixes it with stunning performances from a brilliant cast; adds the startling and intense direction of Francis Ford Coppola, and finishes it all off with an array of imagery and dialogue that is imbued in every film lovers' mind.
It is immaculately paced, rewarding, and allows you to take something new from it every time you see it. This is everything a film should be. Go watch it.
