To the Point!

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 1999)

I have seen The Godfather many times over the past twenty years. It started with my brother watching the movie and I watched it when I was seven. The only parts I remembered at the time were the famous scenes (the horse's head, Sonny being setup at the toll booth) which goes to show you that if a movie can put a searing memory in a seven year old critic, imagine what it can do to the same critic twenty years later!
This is without a doubt one of the top 5 best movies of all time, BAR NONE. If anyone disagrees with this, you obviously do not know a genius film when you see one or you don't like excellent storytelling, acting, directing, filming, etc. (and who doesn't). If you enjoy bad movies, don't see this one. Coppola and Puzo do a marvelous job of putting this movie to the silver screen and will be remembered for its greatness for a long, long time.
