The Passage of Time
God Father is a more subdue film. Good Fellas is an over the top film. You must consider the source of the material Henry Hill is one of the biggest bullshytters of all time and a known Embellisher. And, Good Fellas had the luxury to piggy back off those films which set the standard.

Pine Brook Country Club
Benjamin Plotkin purchased Pinewood Lake and the surrounding acreage and built an auditorium with a revolving stage, forty cabins and incorporated as the Pine Brook Country Club in 1930.[3] Plotkin's dream was to market the club as a summer resort for people to stay and enjoy theatrical productions. Pine Brook is best known for becoming the summer home of the most important experiment in the history of American Theatre. The Group Theatre (New York) was formed in New York City by Harold Clurman, Cheryl Crawford and Lee Strasberg. The group was made up of actors, directors, playwrights and producers and gathered at Pine Brook during the summer of 1936. The Group produced works by the most important American playwrights of the time on real life subject matter which changed stage and film forever. Some of the artists who summered at Pine Brook Lake were; Elia Kazan, Harry Morgan, John Garfield, Francis Farmer, Will Geer, Howard Da Silva, Clifford Odets, Lee J. Cobb and Irwin Shaw.[4] In 1944, Pine Brook Country Club was sold, reorganized and chartered as the Pinewood Lake Association.[5]

I think it's a better, but I'm not going to call someone an a$$hole for disagreeing. On a side note, I think Godfather 2 is actually a deeply flawed film carried by extraordinary performances. I know I'm in the minority on that one though :krs:
