Elmofongo: And Martin Scorsese's mafia movies are better imo because they show the mafia for how they really act.
tinyE: That's true. FFC is a great director but the Godfather pics are WAY too romantic.
Ugh and you think George Lucas fallen from Grace?
The last good movie from Coppola is arguably his Dracula movie. And ever since he descended into Mediocrity. (And no Producing movies do not count)
tinyE: G1 is probably one of the best movies ever.
stg83: Indeed, I was amazed by how extremely well it holds up even today and though very long not for a single moment did I feel like it was dragging. Truly a timeless and excellent piece of film making.
You know if they ever do a remake (and a good remake at that) I would totally go to acting school and participate for the role of Michael Corleone. my Long dead Maternal Grandfather loved the Godfather as I am told (he died month after I was born)
