    Brilliant

    I have seen the movie plenty of times on videotape and DVD but this was my first time seeing it on the big screen. Unbelievable experience. It's amazing that 40 years later it still holds up and is absolutely compelling. Can't wait to see The Godfather Part 2 on the big screen!

    Renewed love

    OMG...I loved the clarity of the sound and visuals. I heard the cat pur and the insects in the Sicilian background. I loved the movie all over again

    The Godfather

    by nawogcm

    Enjoyed the film. More exciting watching it on the bigscreen. Actually jumped when the nurse came into the hospital room. Felt the wedding in the beginning was a little too long. All the actors did an excellent job, really brought the characters to life. Movie truly is a classic. Looking forward to seeing movie 2 and 3.

    Absolutely 5 Star; definitely a MUST SEE!

    Ok, so maybe I'm a little older (I like to think 'more mature'), but I remember the original release, and how thrilling, how well directed, how well acted (when Brando really was at his best) it was. I bought the VHS as soon as it was released. I bought the VHS collector set after GF II, and the VHS trilogy. as well. I also have all the different DVD's. All of which I have watched frequently, and always soared with them!!
    And now, to see them back on the big screen, just like the first time!
    TOP O' THE WORLD, MA!!!

    Still an Offer You Can't Refuse

    Saw The Godfather yesterday. Great restoration, tremendous sound. Heard several things I had never heard before. The quality of this film is still top notch. A must see. Looking forward to GFII next month.

    A timeless classic like you have never seen before

    Seen this sooo long ago that I forgot half of the movie. what a great way to see a classic on the giganto xd screen. The enhanced sound was great, the visuals were great and the story - what can you say about this story that hasn't been said already? A must not miss event. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    I loved it!

    The Godfather is still one of the best movies, even after 40 yrs. Seeing it on the big screen was just amazing.
    Even after seeing this movie many, many times I still can't get over the preformances of Brando, Pacino and Keaton. Just flawless.

    The Godfather

    This movie was awsome, had seen it before but never like last night. I recomend it. It brings out different emotions. This monvie is excellent to go see with a friend and significant other. I love Al Pacino he is a wonderful actor.

    BEST MOVIE EVER!

    I have probably seen this movie over 200x and i still love it. I would say that The Godfather is probably my favorite movie of all-time and Al Pacino is probably my favorite actor. I'm sure that many others agree with me because this is the best. It even won an Academy Award for Best Picture one year. The Godfather Pt II and Pt III are also my favorite movies. I recommend 4 u to watch this whole movie and I think that it is very great. The acting, the music, everything is good. I own ALL the Al Pacino movies including Scarface, The Devil's Advocate, and ALL the Godfathers. Go Michael.

The_Godfather Funny how media ignores Israels cyber terrorism. Creators of stuxnet and flame. If it was the other way around media would be in uproar.
