Got a nasty cold so I took today off. AMC is running the trilogy and while I've seen all of them more times than I can count, I'm always drawn in. While Part III is a good film, the first two are probably in the top ten of all time in cinema.
I'm partial to the original, but what say you BBI?
HBO did it. You can probably still watch it. It was awesome.
I think my fav is #2.
To the guy who said #3 - sorry you lost your head coaching job this week, but you don’t have to ruin the giants message board too.
Case closed.
And Cazale was the best of them all.
I like this one best.
We spoke about Joey and books in general. He was a nice man. (Short guy).

Greggie you're italian? This changes everything
-Eric from BBI
An all-American mutt - an Italian grandfather, a southern grandmother whose ancestors came here hundreds of years ago, and my mom's family is almost all Irish (one German in there)
My ancestors, too, though, sadly, some of mine were much more nefarious than yours were (see my great-grandfather's wiki link below).
My great-grandfather... - ( New Window )
or 2nd viewing.
i really took away from part 2
Funny story - my Italian grandfather HATES The Godfather because he gets his back up about anything that ties Italians to the mob. My dad told me that, at my parent's wedding, the band played the theme from the Godfather when his parents were introduced at the reception (the movie was hot stuff at the time, this was 1974) and my grandpa hit the roof. "That's not an Italian song - it's a song about criminals!"
I'm not as annoyed with 3 as many, but it clearly isn't the film the others are. It does allow a great story to play out, so I give it leeway there.
Greg - My mom has NEVER talked about that side of her family. She always said that her mother (my grandmother) grew up without a father but she never would say why, just that he died young. I've learned what I have from other relatives and the internet. But nothing ever from my mom.
As an aside, my great grandfather's brother (Cyro) was known as the "Artichoke King" which is a pretty good nickname.
Question: The long scene when Michael Corleone traveled to Sicily, got married and his wife died in a car bomb, was that during the time he was in hiding after he went to Los Vegas? He was sporting a bruise under his left eye that he may have gotten from the corrupt police Chief.
I'm going to watch part 2 soon.
Eric from BBI: Get with the the program or I'll have to make you an offer you can't refuse!
He's in hiding after killing the cop and Sollozzo.

OK, thanks. Did he go there straight away then to Vegas or the other way around?
