The movie to end all mobster movies and the irony being that they created more Monster movies than anyone could ever anticipate. I've got to give credit to people that can glorify and romanticize a group of the most despicable awful hunks of garbage in American society, I'm talking about the mafia itself not the Italians.
Just think about it, could we romanticize all the ethnic black gangs like the 'Bloods' and the 'Crips' or whatever they're called. Maybe make a movie about those Latino gangs or God forbid the white supremacist gangs (I guess there was American History X) and there's the Gran Torino film though that doesn't glorify the gangs. It shows them for exactly what they are 'a group of Despicable garbage.'
I'm also impressed that it's a nearly three hour long movie that has little to no filler throughout the whole thing, it actually feels like a proper movie. That's not an easy thing to do.
You have all the big-name actors or at least some of them became big named after the movie there's a fantastic score and some great camera work.
Obviously I don't have to sum up the movie at this point everybody knows what the Godfather is, even if you've never seen it, even if you don't have any interest.
But I think the most important thing of all is that you get to learn how to make spaghetti. There's a scene in the first half of the film where Al Pacino character goes up to this fat mobster fella and is asked if he can help with spaghetti. He's than shown step-by-step what to add to make an ideal spaghetti bolognaise. Apparently Francis Ford Coppola stuck the scene in the movie with the idea being
'if the movies not good at least people will learn how to make spaghetti'
