Synopsis
The Godfather Considered by many to be the greatest movie ever made, Francis Ford Coppola`s epic masterpiece features Oscar winner Marlon Brando as the head of the Corleone family. Coppola paints a chilling portrait of a Sicilian family`s rise and near fall from power in America, and the passage of rites from a father to a son who was previously uninvolved in the business. Godfather Part ll The Godfather Part II is one of the rare breed of cinematic sequels which is as good as, and perhaps better than, the original. Al Pacino heads the star cast as Michael Corleone, heir to the criminal empire established by his Mafioso father, the late Don Corleone.

The time is mid-1940s: Michael is now in charge of all gambling activities in Nevada, making certain that any and all political or mob enemies are quickly bought off, compromised, or disposed of. Throughout the film, Michael`s travails are paralleled with the early experiences of his father, played in flashbacks by Robert De Niro. The Godfather lll In the final installment of the Godfather Trilogy, an aging Don Michael Corleone seeks to legitimize his crime family`s interests and remove himself from the violent underworld.

Now in his sixties, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family from crime, and finding a suitable successor. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael`s hopes of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence.

Sensational film making from the top drawer
I watched these wonderful films again over the weekend, the first time in many years and they have not faded in their brilliance, nor has their power diminished one jot, this is film making on a gigantic level of skill, subtlety and story telling and everyone should dedicate some time to watch them. I concur that the first two films are master pieces and for me have almost merged into one long saga; and whilst part three doesn't reach the same heights of magnificence, it is still a very fine film indeed and deserving of generous praise; Pacino in particular gives a finely nuanced performance and avoids his more recent chewing up the scenery antics. This box set may be the best money you ever spend on films, if you don't own it, literally stop reading this and order it forthwith.

They made me an offer I couldn't refuse!
I had never seen the Gofather series until i bought it. Freinds had told me I had to see it and eventually I decided to go for it. I am glad I did, this is quite simply a set of films not to be missed.

GF P1: My personal favourite- Bando shines and plays the part of the king on the thone wonderfully. The first film depicts the empire, who is part of it, the enemies and how to deal with them. There are more plot twists than a country road. Al Pacino is superb as the son who relucantly takes on the mantel of the new 'Don Corleone'. One slight problem is that the italian is not subtitled for some reason... dones't detract though as you cna pick up what they are saying.

GF P2: Acclaimed as the masterpiece and one of the only sequals to be betther than the original. The film shows how the original Godfather took his place- Vito Corleone's life in sicily to New York. While also showing how Pacino (Michael Corleone) takes on the mantel of the new Godfather. (This time the italian is subtitled)

GF P3: I read somewhere that if this were a stand alone film it would be superb however it comes after P 1 and 2. It is a very good movie depicting how Pacino's character has tried to legitamise his business only to be dragged back to the underworld and must find a successor to the throne. A superb film a tragedy as well as a gangster movie.

These are masterpieces, Brando is super in part 1, Pacino masterfull in all 3 and the cast in all films superb stars like Talia Shire (Mr's Rocky Balboa) Di Nero, Diane Keaton, Duvall.... the list is endless.

Buy these films, it's an offer you can't refuse!

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, but where are the subtitles?
I had the same problem with my copy of the films as they didn't have any subs on the Italian sections. I thought it was just a discrepency on my copy but it seems as if it is the same for them all. It means I have to put the subtitles on for the whole film which is annoying.

Still the films, particularly 1 and 2 are simply the best films you will see.
