Why: The movie was the base for the sequels..
plus:
horse / head + bed = classic.
it's science.
The end is amazing. Micheal exterminates the old and brings in a new era.
Godfather III, well that's just another story that must never be told, not even after the end of time.
even finish the third one, i still haven't seen the whole thing yet.
number three is my least favourite for one reason, the incest storyline, it was completely unnecessary and made the movie kind of weird for me, but the storyline of Micheal seeking redemption is great.
I'll never ever ever forget the horse head in the bed! I can't tell you how shocked I was and what an impact that had on me at the time lol It seems a bit tame now, but boy did it freak me out at the time!
Great giveaway, thanks
you want to rewatch the first two, just because you know how much better they are in
comparison. It makes each of the first two that much more powerful. It's like having a
third, tiny, ugly nipple on your girlfriend. It makes the other two look amazing!
of the ruthless Michael Corleone was the polar opposite of de Niros young and innocent
Vito who becomes a criminal out of necessity. The scene where Michael kisses Fredo,
tells him he knows he betrayed him, then has his own flesh and blood brother (the
only member of the family to openly congradulate Michael for joining the war effort in
a flashback scene) and then have him murdered... Its chilling to realize just how evil
Michael has become, and Michaels beginning as a Don is perfect contrast to Vitos early
experience.
when it threatened the interests of "The Family": individuals who on the surface appear to be cold-blooded killers but who could still show a tenderness and love for their loved ones--the theme that kept developing all the way to the very last episode.
Can you really pick a favorite Coppola film? It's hard but that's the one that would have to be it.
It had it all the story and the acting and the actors.
can't we all just agree that the third is crap?
The second one was one spoofed once, as far as I recall. Homer walking down the street in Deniro's white suit getting respect and free doughnuts from the townspeople.
Was the third one worth spoofing?

THANK YOU GOD BLESS
from a rather carefree young man into a hard, cold murderer.......and the progression was
fascinating to watch.
cannot beat the Shakespearean tragedy of the first. The king with the three sons, all pulled
by a code honor higher than themselves. The detail work of a fairly "green" director is quite
astounding. I have loved these movies ever since my Ma sat me down and made me watch
them as a young kid. My grandmother was born into one of those families and got out. Ma
heightened the movie experience for me by telling me the tale of my great Uncle who got
deported because they found a body in his trunk. "Hey! It can happen to anyone!"
scenes that have made history.
In fact, that is the reason I love this movie. The Corleone family has more in common with the average family than most of us want to believe.
Mario Puzo's The Godfather: Part II
Reasons
1. Because of the early buzz on the Godfather, the sequel was planned before filming was finished on the original. Destiny anyone?
2. Oranges = Death 4 out of 5 times. I don't know why, but that is just awesome!
3. The fact that Part II is a Prequel and a Sequel makes the first one better. I can only count Part II as just as good as the Original Godfather. Not better or less in any way, but equal in weight and merit. But Part II adds so much more to the first one simply through its storytelling. We get both the rise and fall of the Corleone family in part II. What more could you ask for?
4. Part II is the most decorated and influential sequel of all time. The Godfather: Part II is the reason sequels exist in the first place. Other than the fact that Hollywood has taken advantage of audience loyalty and has since begun to treat sequels as cash grabs rather than art and a chance to do something more, is an insult to what Coppola was able to accomplish with Part II.
5. Part II is my favorite movie of all time. Not to sound like most of the other commenters, but Part II is perfectly acted, directed, and executed. In Part II, Vito becomes more respected and Michael becomes more pitied. Its a sad and beautiful portrayal. One that has been unrivaled in cinema since.
nuances, voice, etc., is one of the great acting performances.
You can't beat the original.
Except perhaps in the case of The Dark Knight.
But that's a different story.
third one,but its hard to beat the first one.
haunting.
