I bought this as a Christmas gift for my son, who is a huge "Godfather" fan.  He was overjoyed, to say the least.  Highly recommend it to other fans.

I'm a bit surprised to see the somewhat tepid 4-star reviews of this great film, one of my all-time favorite movies (others being Godfather I&II, Dr. Strangelove, Notting Hill, The Player, Pulp Fiction).

The acting, the plot, the direction, and the setting is marvelous.  I don't even particularly like Lake Como (it's easily my least favorite destination in Italy) but I love this film!

If nothing else, the movie should be remembered for the classic line "but Como is so BORING!"

Long before James Brown was dismissed by many as a bad joke, these rare tracks demonstrated just how good the Godfather was at getting on the good foot! These are mostly unreleased tracks from the peak of his career (1968-1973). The live version of "There It Is" is spectacular even without the visuals of JB doing his thing. The section where JB himself jams on the organ is worth the price of admission alone. The Untitled Instrumental became the basis for the late 1980s all-star rap Anti-violence tune "We're All In the Same Gang." One can only wonder why a great tune like "Can I Get Some Help" was not released at the time. But the real MOTHER LODE here is the 9 minute version of "People Get Up and Drive your Funky Soul" (the chorus is where the title of this review comes from). This is a TOUR DE FORCE of funk and not a minute is wasted. Fred Westly (according to his bio) doesn't think much of his work with JB, but this song is the trombonist's masterpiece in my opinion. Either way, your JB collection is not complete without this and I would strongly recommend it for you.

The Godfather of Soul has so many albums, I just thought it would be best to get the greatest hit. Love It.

Ok all Godfather fans  - this is the offer you can't refuse. Don Vito as a very dignified Funko Pop...leave the gun take the canoli and buy the figure. The figure of Michael Barnes and Noble edition is excellently done as well.

For all the praise Coppola garnered with "The Godfather", his work on "The Conversation", though not as romantic as his mobster classic, is even more deserved of his directorial genius. Coppola presents maximum mood and feel with minimal, even seemingly irrelevant dialogue at first listen, unless of course you know Coppola and realize every ounce of dialogue has significant meaning in the end. One will see this in the work of his daughter, Sofia, in the future ("Lost In Translation"). The timing of this movie's content and it's relevancy to Watergate is no coincidence, but its impact is temendous. Not only does the content of every second of this movie make one realize the extent of the possiblities and ramifications of Watergate (when this movie was released), but of everyday life, and how easily one's personal privacy can be invaded. One can't walk away from this movie without a touch of paranoia, and a test of one's morality. Trademark Coppola, particularly in his prime in the 70s where he made his viewers question the ramifications of their everyday actions, behaviors, conversations and involvements. Gene Hackman is outstanding as the lead character, Harry Caul, the renowned genius of surveillance, His portrayal of a paranoid man who realizes the ramifications of his work is brilliant, and portrayed only with combination of his and Coppola's skills, along with masterful editing and memorable scenes. Coppola makes use of great character actors, and often and/or previously used Coppola favorites- Harrison Ford, John Cazale, Cindy Williams, Robert DuVall, Terri Garrr and Frederick Forest are among an incredibly effective cast, and script. By the time this movie reaches is climax, your suspicions of the possibilities of every day life built up little by little in this movie are only reaffirmed, to a creepy extent. A masterpiece  of a film with all the trademarks of a Coppola gem, overshadowed only by his classic standard that all his future films would be measured by ("Godfather"). One of my all time favorite films, but toughest watches. One needn't be involved in any seedy behavior to walk away from this film with a touch of paranoia. Don't think that wasn't by design. The DVD remastering is brilliant in every respect.

It has been a long time since I saw The Godfather. This is a pleasant surprise: Godfather, Godfather2, Godfather3 and supplements on four blu-rays. Coppola's team cleaned up every inch of the master tapes and the result is amazing.
If his crew did as well on the blu-rays of Apocalypse Now, Apocalypse Now Redux and Hearts of Darkness, which refers to the Joseph Conrad novel on which Apocalypse Now was based, I will be doubly amazed. I have ordered the blu-ray set from Amazon and will review it soon after it arrives.
I don't expect any further masterpieces from the old man, but I do have a number of excellent films from another Coppola, his daughter Sofia, who may release some more.

Exactly what I expected! Perfect way to ask someone to be a Godfather! He said yes!

I am so excited to have this set delivered, it's like waiting for Christmas to arrive as a child.  Why so many complainers about aspect ratio and crystal clear audio and visual.  It's the freaking Godfather, show some respect.  $25 Gold Box, nice job Amazon!

I had already seen "Infernal Affairs" the picture on which this Oscar winner was based and I still liked the film despite Jack's over-blown caricature of a performance.  Transferring the Chinese triads to the Irish mob was clever on the part of the screenwriter, another Irishman and Scorsese has done a masterful job of combining his themes of loyalty and betrayal into this gangster film.  The HD-DVD version is excellent with fine details in contrast & color (you can see the knits in Damon's shirt in the beginning of the film!!).  I personally preferred "The Aviator" (also starring DeCaprio) but I'm so glad this film won Best Picture & Director.  If you're a Scorsese fan or love gangster films, do check this out!!  It's an offer you can't refuse.

This has to be one of the best American movies ever made, and this release is the best! The picture looks fantastic, with it's golden tinting, it looks better than the previous DVD release. The sound is okay. I'm not a fan of the 5.1 remix of Godfathers 1 and 2. It's basically the same from the previous release, but with a few enhancements. Like the 2001 and 2004 DVDs, the 5.1 remix adds new sound effects which kind of ruin the film to me. However, for this version, they did include for the first time the original mono tracks for the first two films, so classic movie fans can hear what the films originally sounded like back when they were first released in 1972 and 1974. But overall, this is a perfect release of the films. I would recommend you own this timeless classic in your movie collection. BTW, The first one is the best, why? Two words, Marlon Brando! He is a boss! The best performance of the 70's!

capeci must have combed through thousands of pages to gather this assortment of mafia quotes.  it's hard to believe that they are all real!  i never realized that mobsters could be so philosophical--or funny.  some quotes even made me laugh out loud.  this also makes a great gift for friends and family.
