The movie is preposterously entertaining, telling Puzo's compendium of old-time Mafia anecdotes with all the gravity of Old Testament epic.

One of the classic movie ever.

To me, The Godfather is one of the single greatest movies ever made with sublime, phenomenal, and astronomically talented acting and filmmaking all around.

I remember I was a kid when I saw it... I found it boring.

Looking forward to see it again now. Perhaps I change my mind.

It's been many years since I saw it, but I've seen it a couple times and I remember I watched it once with subtitles to appreciate the script more and it was brilliant.

I mean, it's like a lot of classics.. it's solid filmmaking, but won't necessarily appeal to every modern audience. It was a different time.

I've never seen The Godfather...

Am I missing something???

Love the film and the sequel.

Whomever voted "overrated"? Fite me irl, pheggit!

It can be both.

It's an objectively well made movie regardless of if you like it or not.

Always preferred Scarface to this in spades. Pacinos greatest film to me.

Always struck me as too ostentatious. I prefer the gritty gangster stuff like Goodfellas, Donnie Brasco, The Sopranos etc.

Robtard
Goodfellas is one of my favorite films and I can sit down and watch it at any point of the film and enjoy it; I can't do that with the GF.

But from a film quality pov, GF is superior, imo.

Godfather 1 and 2 are great.
Classics I would not consider overrated in the least.

I've tried to watch it whenever its been on tv, Not my cup of tea.

It deserves it's praise, but I think Godfather Part II is the greatest of the three.

Impediment
Goodfellas is 10/10 amazing, too. Pristine filmmaking with sublime acting all around, but the story is fast, raw, and brutal. A complete opposite of Godfather.

The Godfather is violins and wine where Goodfellas is rock & roll and bourbon.

BrolyBlack
Casino was great as well, not as good as Fellas. But I’ll watch it every time it comes on.
