The Godfather
Overview
Strip away the gunfire and The Godfather is a family saga about succession, loyalty, and a son who swore he'd never join the business. Coppola shoots it like a period painting — all shadows and orange peels — while Brando and Pacino give two of the all-time great performances in the same film. Long? Yes. Boring? Not for a second. Somehow missed it until now? Fix that this weekend.
