I was lucky enough to see The Godfather trilogy about 3 or 4 years ago.

I loved the first two. In fact, the first one is my favorite movie of all time. The second was just as good. The third was flawed.

Anyway...

I can't see how people can't like this movie.
I dated a girl once who said that The Godfather was boring.

Everything about this movie was perfect.
It was visual poetry. Evwerything was there for a reason.

And it almost felt like you weren't actually watching actors.
It felt like you were watching a documentary on the life of a powerful mafia family.

So, who out there feels the same?

You are not supposed to insult people with opposing views if you want to know what people think.

I personally have seen the first one, but not the rest. The only thing I would have against it is that I don't really care for movies with adult language. I find it tacky.

but hey...thats just me

Edited and saved. I tend to go a little overboard when I've had a few drinks. Haha.
I agree, though. A lot of movies could do without the foul language.

The first one's one of my all-time favorite movies, I watch it whenever I can catch it. Marlon Brando completely blows me away

The original Godfather is far and away one of the best movies ever made. Sometimes, I think gratuitous bad language in a film that doesn't add anything to the movie can be annoying, but in this case I don't think it would have any credibility without putting in the way these people would actually have talked. Wait and watch the network showing if it hurts your ears, I think.

Great movie trilogy. I liked all three, but the first one was an amazing film.
