1972 - The Godfather: "I'll make him an offer he can't refuse"


1972 Best Picture

Premiered

Budget $6 Million

Gross $135 Million

We both agree that this is the best film to date. It is a film that was ahead of its time in the genre and in the storytelling. We were both on the edge of our seats for the entire 177 minutes. The cast was the best cast of any movie, Marlon Brando was outstanding, Robert Duvall made Tom the character that I enjoyed the most and Al Pacino turned it a stellar performance also. Francis Ford Copella directed a movie that came together to make one of the great films of history. It is a film that sticks in your mind for days to come.

Joel
Favorite: I loved the way that Michael started so pure and turned to become the most hardened Don in all of New York.
Least Favorite: The blood really flows in this movie. Some of the killings looked "cool" but some were flat at gory and disturbing.

Callie
Favorite: The actors did a great job drawing you in to the mafia culture. It was very intriguing.
Least Favorite: I didn't have a least favorite. Surprisingly, I loved the movie.
