Best Movies of All Time
In my opinion, the Godfather is hands down the greatest movie ever made. The Godfather is a 1972 epic crime drama film based on the 1969 novel of the same name by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola, with a screenplay by Puzo, Coppola, and an uncredited Robert Towne.[2] It stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton, and features Richard S. Castellano, Abe Vigoda and Sterling Hayden. The story spans ten years from 1945 to 1955 and chronicles the Italian-American Corleone crime family.
The Godfather received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. In addition, it is ranked as the second greatest film in American cinematic history, behind Citizen Kane on the AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Movies (10th Anniversary Edition) list by the American Film Institute.[3]
Two sequels followed The Godfather: The Godfather Part II in 1974, and The Godfather Part III in 1990.
The Godfather movies were recently restored and you can now purchase The Godfather Gift Set on BluRay and DVD. If you really want to get the whole story however you must read The Godfather Book by Mario Puzo!
