Overview
Spanning the years 1945 to 1955, a chronicle of the fictional Italian-American Corleone crime family. When organized crime family patriarch, Vito Corleone barely survives an attempt on his life, his youngest son, Michael steps in to take care of the would-be killers, launching a campaign of bloody revenge.
I don’t know that it would be in my top 5 movies of all time but it was still extremely good. I was a little surprised that Brando got as much run from this movie as he did. Maybe I am biased…. John Belushi did such an amazing impression of him that seeing the real thing was almost a letdown. Marlon, clear your throat for crying out loud! Anyway, the real star of the movie was Pacino and he deserved any accolades that he got. To see him transform from an idealistic boy to his father’s protege was really amazing.
