Originally posted by Johnny Zhivago I'm absolutely floored by the number of kids* here who have never seen a Godfather film... The first two films, while they may or may not be your thing, are widely regarded as among the best American films ever made. Obviously, many of you have little interest in the history of American cinema... And I'm talking about 1972 and 1974 here, not 1929. The Godfather films should be required viewing for anyone with an interest in cinema... Not just the gangster genre. BTW, I'm 37 years old. My DVD collection is linked below. |

Originally posted by shill66 Don't count my responses... I didn't give choices for either one, but I've seen "Topsy-Turvy" (didn't like it) and "Baby, It's You" (didn't like it). Technically, they'd be my favorite Leigh and Sayles films, even though I didn't like them. |

Rasaan gets my vote for "favorite reply to this thread"
is that a category? Oh and Brando being Dead was just a natural way of thinking after seeing both The Score and The Island Of Dr. Moreau. Perhaps he should star in Better Off Dead 2 |
