I just watched that and The Godfather 2. I think The Godfather was better.

no but i read the bookThe movie closely follows the book. The cool thing about the book is that you get more back story on the characters. The Don skipped over Fredo not because he was thought dumb. The backstories of Luca Brasi and Al Neri are interesting too. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Luca Brasi is a beast in the book. Wished we saw more of that in the movie. As Michael said in the beginning of the movie, "He's a very scary guy".

Not sure if true or just a movie or novel stereotype, but I understand that Italian men almost always have a mistress and the wives always accept it as long as they still provide and not abusive towards them.

People shit on 3 but I even liked that. Like I posted earlier ITT, I watch all 3 each year. I also like Triad and Yakuza flicks.
No idea why. I enjoy it and it harms no one so I continue. Also, if you like mob flicks, get into film noir. We can't let those films just fade away. The currently fashionable term "gaslight" comes from a film noir flick (originally a play) called Gaslight. --- Not everyone is suitable to kill a lion - Maasai proverb. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The long running question is "Who is the Godfather?" Each one for their era. Vito wouldn't have made it very long in the 60's and 70's era Mafia. Or wouldn't have wanted to play the game anymore.

I don't think Ill find anyone to watch them with and Im not a solo movie guy. It's hard to fet soneone to dedicate to something like that. I can't blame anyone because I'm like "fuck that" whenever anyone brings up LotR or Star Wars. I don't like fantasy stuff that much. But I do like gangster settings.
