simply brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (30 October 2001)

Simply put, the standard by which all other films are measured. Two of the greatest acting performance of all time by Pacino and Brando create two of the most memorable film characters of all-time, the gentlemanly don Vito Corleane and his reluctant son/heir Micheal. Full of great moments (the horse head in the movie producer's bed, the chilling baptism scene) and great lines this is Coppolla greatest film by far. The score and cinematography only add to this film's mastery. A terrific film, one that anyone who calls himself a movie fan should see at least once, and probably many many times!
