Premise
When the Corleone mob boss yields his leadership, which of his three sons is the right leader to take his place?
Who should watch
All adult filmgoers.
Thoughts
One of the golden standards for not just gangster movies, but all films. This film was full of acting gravitas, memorable quotes and famous scenes. While it was a long film, it never felt long.
The quality that stood out the most were the unforgettable characters. After many parodies, watching the late great Marlon Brando might illicit some giggles, but soon I was immersed into that world and his character. Actually, my favorite character was Robert Duvall's role as Tom Hagen, who sadly could not become successor despite the fact he was the best choice.
What I would change
Could do with a little less gore, excluding the Horse head scene.
