About the Movie

Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar ®-winning role*as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.

Customer Reviews

For Justice, we must go to Don Corleone...

With an all-star cast of Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, James Caan, and Diane Keaton and a legendary director (Francis Ford Coppola), The Godfather to put it very simply, is one of the greatest movies of all time. The american film institute ranks it as its number 2 best film ever produced, second only to the Orsen Wells classic: Citizen Kane. However, in my opinion and in many peoples opinions, The Godfather is the most perfect movie ever made and the #1 movie ever. Also, to Josh Frierman of Plainview, it is 10,000,000 times better then The Usual Suspects. You simply must get the Godfather.

One of the greatest... horrible preview.

This preview gave away the entire plot! If you haven't watched the film yet, the preview will spoil the movie.

Legendary
