The Godfather: The Coppola Restoration Blu-ray Collection - 9/23/08

DVD Talk Legend
It just hit me, but the people who worked on this restoration aren't the same ones who worked on the Blu-ray for Coppola's DRACULA, are they? Because that remains the worst-looking transfer in my Blu-ray collection (in terms of both quality and the way they mucked about with the "look" of the movie).

Ive preordered this....My favorite movie of all time, The Godfather, FINALLY in HD.
Cannot wait to dedicate a Saturday to watching all three.
And yes, the third one is not as bad as people say. Its not in the same league as the first and second, but I enjoy it and think its a good movie.

I know that Winona Ryder backed out last second, but Sophia is pretty bad playing Pacino's daughter.

A more objective look at the film reveals that it's actually a pretty solid movie in spite of some minor flaws. It's certinaly not in the same league as its predecessors, but I'd still put it in the upper tier of gangster movies in general.
Good movie, which had a lot of potential.

I just received an email response from FamilyVideo.com and they do indeed charge your card at the time of the order. This is not good business practice, might even be illegal in some states.
I'm trying to think if I know of any other business that charges on the order date vs. the shipping date.
Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

It's an annoying policy. I don't know about the legality of it, but if it saved me 15 bucks, I suppose I can live with it.
