The Godfather
 

My GF was reading the book over the last weeks and this weekend we watched the movies because she never saw them.

I already saw them X times but its a piece of artwork.

Great movies with great actors :winkwink:

There are 2 sequel books, written by Mark Winegardner from Puzo's notes. They interweave with the original and all 3 movies. Both are enjoyable reads.

The Godfather Returns and Godfather's Revenge.

tnx, I will tell my girl, she loves the books :D

the the most amazing book i ever read, heard it was a good business book from a friend years ago, read it and ordered about 20 copies on amazon for staff here at ccbill

read it just a year or so ago and remember reading every word twice

one of my favorite movies of all time. :thumbsup

I still feel bad for Fredo

i <3 the godfather I & II

I'm, like, one of the only people on the planet who actually didn't like The Godfather and thought it was an overrated piece of crap. I found it incredibly boring and way too long. Crazy, huh? Feel free to shit on me. I get it that a lot when I tell people I didn't like the movie.

I haven't seen it in about ten years. Maybe I'll watch it again and I'll enjoy it more now than I'm older but I doubt it. I'm a huge (huge) Al Pacino fan so it's really odd that I didn't like The Godfather.

My husband has to be one of the few people on the planet never to have seen them. I even have them on DVD and he has no interest in watching them. One day, I will convince him that he is wrong.

some people are not fans of drama.. it has a flow more like a play than a movie really, which was pretty popular for the 70's which makes some, even really great pieces, looong and seem dull.

One trick is to not be sleepy when you watch them.. hehe I never liked them until i started paying attention more to what was going on.

It is an interesting movie to watch. The actors are talented.

jeez where has she been? everyone has seen that at least once.

im not sure which was better part 1 or part 2 i lvoe de niros character in part 2

Divorce him right now :)

I have told him that I should have asked before we got married. I just assumed everybody over 30 has seen it.

i love that movie i watch them from part 1 to 3 these was a great stories to me :)

Some of my favorite quotes...

Michael: It's not personal, Sonny. It's strictly business.

Calo: In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns.

Michael: My father is no different than any powerful man, any man with power, like a president or senator.
Kay Adams: Do you know how naive you sound, Michael? Presidents and senators don't have men killed.
Michael: Oh. Who's being naive, Kay?

Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.

Greatest trilogy of all time. 2 was better than 1 which is never the case except in the Rocky series. 2 was Robert Deniro's intro to the world and he kicked ass playing Don Vito as a young man.

Did you know? Johnny Ola in part 2 is the same actor that plays Junior Soprano.

"Leave the gun, take the canolis"

Sorry Luscious didnt see the cannoli quote originally, i think you got the best ones covered

Fuck Fredo. He had it coming.

Fredo was a rat...rats dont last in that business

They are awesome, still in the IMDB's TOP 10.

My wife has not seen the movie's. Unless it is a chick flick, or has dragons or vampires, she isn't really interested.
I rented all three to watch on a weekend, and after about 10 minutes, she said she would rather watch something else.

I throw the Toy Story trilogy in as a rival. Not one of the three Toy Story movies is anything but top class.

He isn't alone. I also haven't seen any of the Godfather movies. And don't know if i ever will.

I'm only 29 though... :winkwink:
