In the dictionary under masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2017)

Images of a routine baptism juxtaposed with those of mafia rival executions. To me, that's why "The Godfather"is so fascinating. With these people, such bloody acts are strictly business, impersonal. Great characters and scenes emerge from this conceit, but that's really what it's all about.
I don't think you can look at this movie without considering its lasting impact; the famous lines, set pieces and those dreaded oranges. It's all seeped into pop culture, and for good reason. It's just that damn good. Even if you're repulsed by Cosa Nostra goings-on, you still get drawn in.
This is an epic in every sense of the word.
