The Godfather
Finally Finished: The Godfather
Why?: Everyone around me has talked about it for years
Coolest Part: Just watching Marlon Brando and a young Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, and James Caan all in the same scene.
Craziest Scene: The horse head in a bed is all that it was cracked up to be.
Craziest Scene #2: Al Pacino gunning down the two guys in the restaurant. (Although Sonny getting gunned down is close.)
Things I Didn't Know: Talia Shire played a big role in this before ever being made famous as Mrs. Rocky Balboa.
A Must: I could have never have made it through it without turning on the subtitles.
Bottom Line: It's really good, but I'm not sure it falls within the "great" category. (But let me think about it for a few days - which is the only way to judge a movie.)
