Amazon.com essential video


Throughout his long, wandering, often distinguished career Francis Ford Coppola has made many films that are good and fine, many more that are flawed but undeniably interesting, and a handful of duds that are worth viewing if only because his personality is so flagrantly absent. Yet he is and always shall be known as the man who directed the Godfather films, a series that has dominated and defined their creator in a way perhaps no other director can understand. Coppola has never been able to leave them alone, whether returning after 15 years to make a trilogy of the diptych, or re-editing the first two films into chronological order for a separate video release as The Godfather Saga. The films are our very own Shakespearean cycle: they tell a tale of a vicious mobster and his extended personal and professional families (once the stuff of righteous moral comeuppance), and they dared to present themselves with an epic sweep and an unapologetically tragic tone. Murder, it turned out, was a serious business. The first film remains a towering achievement, brilliantly cast and conceived. The entry of Michael Corleone into the family business, the transition of power from his father, the ruthless dispatch of his enemies--all this is told with an assurance that is breathtaking to behold. And it turned out to be merely prologue; two years later The Godfather, Part II balanced Michael's ever-greater acquisition of power and influence during the fall of Cuba with the story of his father's own youthful rise from immigrant slums. The stakes were higher, the story's construction more elaborate, and the isolated despair at the end wholly earned. (Has there ever been a cinematic performance greater than Al Pacino's Michael, so smart and ambitious, marching through the years into what he knows is his own doom with eyes open and hungry?) The Godfather, Part III was mostly written off as an attempted cash-in, but it is a wholly worthy conclusion, less slow than autumnally patient and almost merciless in the way it brings Michael's past sins crashing down around him even as he tries to redeem himself. --Bruce Reid

The Godfather

The purchase was for my husband for Valentine's Day. It was a hit!! The 4 DVD's came in a nice case and the 4th DVD is a review of deleted scenes and interviews. Nice gift for a nice price.

The Godfather Part III and Sofia Coppola

Rating

The best thing about The Godfather Trilogy? The Godfather Part II

The worst thing about the Godfather Trilogy? Sofia Coppola

The best thing that happened in The Godfather Trilogy? Sofia Coppola dies in the end! Thank God!

The worst and most disgusting actor or actress in The Godfather Trilogy? Sofia Coppola

My God, Sofia Coppola, what a terrible and disgusting actress. ZERO acting ability and gross looking. BLAH!!!

Not many people know this but, Sofia Coppola was cast in The Godfather Part I as a little boy. It is ironic because I thought she looked like a person who had a sex change in The Godfather Part III. Man what an ugly duckling. :-)

What a shame The Godfather Part III had such a poor looking non-talented beast of an actress shoved into it. Again, what... a... shame...


Worst movies ever

Rating

These are by far the longest, most boring, and overall possibly the worst movies ever.

The Godfather part I comprises maybe 3 or 4 of the most boring movies ever. It's about 10 or 15 hours of stupid, inane BS that nobody could possibly care about. I tried to watch it all the way through, but fell asleep after about 6 hours.

The Godfather part II is even longer, somewhere between 15 and 20 hours, which according to Godfather fans makes it better than the first.

The Godfather part III is so boring and awful that even fans of the first two movies can't stand it.


And keep in mind, I was able to sit through all 4 or 5 hours of Citizen Kane and I actually kind of liked it, so my taste in movies is not the problem here.
