Francis Ford Coppola's Masterpiece features Marlon Brando in his Oscar-winning role as the patriarch of the Corleone family. Director Coppola paints a chilling portrait of the Sicilian clan's rise and near fall from power in America, masterfully balancing the story between the Corleone's family life and the ugly crime business in which they are engaged. Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Caan and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.

TIMELESS - THE BEST OF THE BEST

There's a reason parts 1 and 2 both won Best Movie Oscars. Seriously, those two movies are nearly perfect. (The only noticeable mistake is when Sonny is kicking the s**t out of Carlo in the street and he obviously misses his chin by about a foot, but I can overlook that). The story line is intriguing, the acting is superb, the characters are well developed, the cinematography is excellent, and the directing is great. Add to that a beautifully haunting soundtrack and these movies rank among the best ever made. The third is not quite up to the same standard as the first two but watched in order it offers a valid resolution to the series. I've watched these movies so many times but seeing them on Blu-ray is an entirely new experience. Gorgeous, simply gorgeous.
What's great about it: An epic tale in fantastic quality on Blu-ray
What's not so great: What's not to love?
I would recommend this to a friend!

The evolution of Star Wars

I love the movies and the story line. Seems each time the series is released on to a new format (this time Blu-ray) there are more things added to the movies. I don't mind much because much of it makes sense given the very advanced technology now compared to when the first movies were made. But it can be a bit distracting at first. In one movie, I had to check to make sure I hadn't put in one of the three Special Features disks. But alas, once you get past that I love the movies. The clarity of the picture is amazing. Hooked up with my sound system, when you watch these movies on my 55" screen it is a fantastic experience. There's nothing like hearing the fanfare at the beginning of the movies. I still remember in 1977 hearing those horns for the first time and I still get the same thrill.
What's great about it: quality and completeness of having all 6 movies together
What's not so great: a lot of new scenes, new animals/people added into the background
I would recommend this to a friend!
