The Godfather Film Thread

If you are a fan of the films (even part 3 ) post here.

My favorite character is Frankie Pentangeli.

My favorite scene with Frankie is when he testifies at the senate judiciary hearing. “Michael Corleone did this, Michael Corleone did that. Yeah, sure why not.”

Among the main characters my favorite is Michael.
Among the minor characters, even if he is very bad, it’s funny for me Virgil Sollozzo, the one who has the honor of being killed personally by Michael

 

[Titivillus]

I love the capos, Clemenza and even the traitorous Tessio.

Can you get me off the hook Tom? For old time’s sake?

“Can’t do it, Sallie”

Tell Michael: It was just business.

“He knows”

I love that line too. And this one.

“ Can a peas my a…, that’s chopped liver on a Ritz cracker!”

The scene when Kay asks Michael “about his business.” Then allows her to, and lies to her face.

I also like the scene with the landlord in Godfather part 2.

That actor is Leopoldo Trieste. He’s an Italian character actor. He’s in many Italian films .

 

[Irishmom2]

It is hilarious when he comes to the Genco office after he finds out who Vito really is. Leopoldo Trieste reminds me so much of my grandfather on my mom’s side of the family. Looked like him.

There is no part 3. What are you talking about? It doesn’t exist.

 

[Patri]

Have only seen part 1 and have watched it 2/3 times.

 

[Irishmom2]

Oh, you are such a novice!

I love the music album from the movies! I haven’t seen any of them in full, just about 10 minutes of one of them but I forget which one. I want to see all of them though for sure

 

[Shakuhachi]

How about when Connie goes bizzerko with the dishes.

But the parties are always great.

I’m probably in the minority but I liked all 3. I really don’t see what people hated about the last one but I guess people have high standards for trilogies.

They really did a good job at making the audience emotionally attached because I’ve never been more upset at a movie when his wife said she had an abortion. I have to fast forward through that part every time.

 

[F_Marturana]

I hate that scene. Hitting a pregnant woman with a belt.

The Sicilian part of me thinks Carlo deserved that beating Sonny gave him.

 

[CathBoy1]

Ya touch my sister again I’ll kill ya!

I really liked this scene, but the fight is so poorly choreographed you can obviously tell he is not hitting Carlo.

I’m probably in the minority but I liked all 3.

Probably the best scene in that film was when Michael states just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in.

 

[Glennon_P]

The horse head in the bed scene is especially creepy.

 

[Titivillus]

Poor Mister Neigh-neigh I mean Khartoum

 

[Irishmom2]

The actor was not told there would be a real head and so much blood.

Can you imagine? Maybe some of that was not acting…

 

[Irishmom2]

One of the things I dislike about 3 is that By then, Pacino’s acting has gone downhill. Just not as believable as The Godfather 1 and 2.

In later years I find his acting caricature-ish. Like in Donnie Brasco.
