There is no gangster movie that compares to The Godfather 1 and 2.
Those two movies are among the top 10 movies in history...not just "gangster" movies.
You could argue that virtually all modern family dramas are derived from The Godfather saga.
Whenever someone tries to say that Al Pacino's best movie is Carlito's Way or Scarface, I can't even believe it. :dahell:

Those are probably his two most low brow movies.

Carlito's Way = top 3 movie of all time for me

Carlito's Way > Scarface

Now I still enjoy Carlito's Way more than The Godfather but I have no problem if one disagreed.

Here's a cool pic of Pacino, Al Lettieri and Patsy Eboli, a Genovese capo at that time.

Cuz the Godfather didn't fukk with no nikkaz, at least in Goodfellas they had stacks :manny:


Again look at the tome frame and era and how historically accurate the movie was trying to be.

Mad Men ain't showing the opposite of what was going on pre and post Civil Rights and making the show not politically and historically invorrect. nikkas back then didnt have ot like we do now of course. Same with the Godfather or any movie that is trying to be as close to correct as possible, they trying be on point with it.

Bruh, one thing you will never get is an accurate portrayal of anything when made by people of another color
Because then you wouldn't be thinking that the black man was for the most part, just nikkaz who was chillin in unfortunate situations
Back in these times, black people was doing plenty.

Tulsa Oklahoma, you dropped a bomb on me :birdman: baby

"Fredo, you're nothing to me now. You're not a brother. You're not a friend. I don't want to know you or what you do. I don't want to see you at the hotels. I don't want you near my house. When you see our mother, I want to know a day in advance so I won't be there"

In my opinion, as far as FFC's filmography goes, Apocalypse Now >>>> The Godfather 1 & 2....:manny:

I love the Vietnam era though, so I'm a little biased.

I did this with City of God once....was extremely proud of myself to have introduced the homies to one of my favorite movies, a subtitled one at that....:wow: :obama:
