What do you think about the movie. I thought it was nice but some say that it was a racist movie. I failed to notice that though. Any comments?

I thought Godfather II was the best. Far more epic, spanning several generations.

I liked the first and third part. Part 2 was broad and confusing although DeNiro, my favorite actor, was very good in the second part.

First time I've ever seen anyone like the 3rd one. IMO no. 3 ruined it.

Superb movie. Part II was almost as good as the original, not quite, but almost. Part III is much-maligned, and doesn't compare to the first two, but is really not as bad as often thought.

AA61HVY - Maybe we could drone on about getting tanked off Rainbow warriors, pink squirrels, fuzzy navals and 6 packs of Natty Light. Then you might have something constructive to say for the first time ever...
Having got that out of the way, let me say than I am another one who likes "Godfather III". Its a very hard movie to follow, and quite different from the first two, but I think that helps set it apart. Part II is also good and I only say the 1st one is better is because the initial was such a classic, its hard to rate a sequal ahead of it. The original "Godfather" was a tremendous movie, and I too do not find it racist. Italian-American groups don't like it because of the "negative" night is portrays Italians in (the whole Mafia concept). Also, and I find this legitiment, people say that the movie romanticises The life of the Mafia. I can see that complaint, but lighten up. The Mafia will exist with or without the "Godfather" movies. Mario Puzo's intention mainly was to show the family of the Don of a powerful Mafia Family. He did that very well, even more so in Part II. The trilogy as a whole is fantastic. If you haven't seen them, its must see T.V.

THE BEST movie of all times. Acting is superb, music is brilliant.
my favourite is the first one, closely followed by the second one. The third one i wasn't mad on, but still a good movie.
Shame they don't make the gangster stuff anymore, these films are just superb. Anyone likes "Goodfellas"?

Fantastic movie! Without a doubt one of the best, if not the best movie ever made. I can watch it over and over and still enjoy it and find new things that I didn't catch before.
Anyone likes "Goodfellas"?
Absolutely! That's my second favorite movie after Godfather

"Goodfellas" is a great film as well. Nowhere near as good as "The Godfather" though.
And GKirk - Your old man bit is getting as played out as the sheep jokes you get. Sorry to ruin your fun, but it needed to be said.
"Never tell anybody outside the family what you're thinking again"
Not made it. It sucked.. Especially Sophia Coppola, I'm sorry but she was a better actress in the first one when she was the playing the baby being baptised.

UALPHLCS thank god there is another person that hated Sophia Coppolas acting, it was as if they picked someone off the street with no acting experience. CASINO was another good gangster movie.

"Casino" was okay. A bit long but solid. Based on true events as well.
I never understood why everyone hated Sophia Coppala in III. Granted she isn't a top notch actress, but I do not think she was as bad as most people say she was.

Agreed, especially since she was "subbed" into the role when Winona Ryder dropped out of the cast.

When III was playing in the theaters, audience members would start laughing at scenes not meant to be funny, her acting was so atrocious. At least she had the sense to stick with directing thereafter.
In any event, if you consider III on its own merits, rather the comparing it to the first two installments, it really is not nearly as bad a movie as often claimed.

I still don't see where Sophia was so terrible. But I do agree that on its own merits, III is a good movie. Not great, but good.
