Although I wouldn't call it the best movie I've ever seen, and many other people would, it is still a very, very good movie. The acting, all around, is top notch: I could sympathize with all of the characters, especially Al Pacino's Michael. For its time, it would have been hailed as a cinematic classic, or perhaps a masterpiece. Coppola directed it with finesse, and age does not show. But yet, it ages, and I would hold it in the regard of a cinematic landmark. As far as gangster movies go, it is in the top, along with Goodfellas. So, if you have three hours to spend and you are looking for a movie you haven't seen and everybody else says you should, this would be an ideal choice.

Though since this movie originally came out, there have been a flood of gangster films some good and some not so good..in my mind, no movie on this topic has ever surpassed the very first Godfather film. I loved the contrast of " good" and "evil" the parallels between the beauty of the family and its traditions and the cruel dark "underside" of this culture. I loved the way the movie was filmed, the time period it took place in, the actors and their performances, the musical score, set design, costumes...everything. This movie is and will remain one of the greatest classics of our time. Everyone must see it at least once and please...not just for its scenes of violence. Also rent it for its astounding beauty and quiet, understated elegance.

Not as fasted past as movies made now, but has an excellent story. What makes it so great is there were families actually involved in this at some point in time. If you are like me, and hate predictable movies or things too unrealistic you'll love this one.

This is what Movie-making and Cinema is all about. If there was ever one film that is King of all Films, this is the one. How AFI said Citizen Kane was better I havn't a clue. If you're one of the few that has never seen the Godfather, do yourself a favor, rent it and see what true filmmaking is all about. Or even better, save the extra $3 and buy it (because you probably will anyway)

I was kind of confused as to what was going on because it was so long and there were so many characters. It was fun to watch but I'm not going to rent it again anytime soon.
