The Godfather
 
Has anybody seen this movie? I've got it to watch for tomorrow. My night in to watch a movie! I've heard good things about it but my friend told me to get Goodfellas first, which I did, and absolutely loved it. I'm just hoping that in comparison with Goodfellas, The Godfather won't let me down!

I'm still yet to see it, but I've been told its one of the best movies ever made.

I have heard many things about this movie... Mainly that it's a pretty good one...

You guys havn't lived if you havn't seen The Godfather, i got the boxset. It ownsssss! Watch it!

Bleh. I passed up the chance to watch The Godfather last weekend. Instead I watched Donnie Brasco and then Scarface. Scarface left me bored for 3 hours and Donnie Brasco, although a bit better, wasn't anywhere even close to Goodfellas.

Scarface is quite good ;o

When you watching The Godfather, go down the shop and get some salty popcorn ;]

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm really amazed that you hadn't seen the Godfather yet, or Goodfellas. I'm not a big fan of Scarface myself, but that's not really a 'mob' movie anyway. Anyway, if you haven't seen it, check out Godfather II, I personally prefer it to the first one, as DeNiro has a role as the young Vito Corleone. The first one's a classic though.

You can't really compare it to Goodfellas, as it's a much more modern, action filled movie. Plus you've got Sorvino, DeNiro, Pesci, Liotta. I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

The first 2 Godfather movies own. The third one wasn't as good. Goodfellas and Casino are awesome mob flicks as well. Donnie Brasco is good, but is a step or two below GF and Casino.

Scarface is overrated. If you want to see a good gangster movie with Pacino in it, go watch Heat. That movie is a masterpiece. Another good DeNiro flick is Ronin.

I couldn't have said it better myself; Heat is one of my all-time favorites. Ronin is also good, but I prefer 'The Score' w/ Ed Norton.

Lol I find that sentence very ammusing to say you watched Babel and rated it. How can you find Scareface boring and Babel entertaining? Babel has a good story, but I've found watching paint dry more entertaining.

I don't remember Scarface that well, but I remember I enjoyed the film and wouldn't stop imitating the guy (yeh, like everyone did).
