Godfather II over Godfather?!?
Godfather II over Godfather?!?
Still, it looks like a worthwhile list to plunder.
I plundered a lot of the movie names dropped by Jerry Harvey in "Z Channel: A Magnificent Obsession." Imagine having such an eye for movies that you could watch "Heaven's Gate"-- considered the flop of flops at the time-- and surmise that it's probably a great movie that got cut poorly.
Even more impressive-- imagine having such credibility that you could convince an audience who yawned through 2.5 hours of "the most boring movie ever" to wade through 3 hours and 40 minutes of a longer cut of the same movie. He basically invented the "director's cut."
- ghaff 6y agoGodfather 2 > Godfather seems to be a pretty popular opinion although it's been so long since I watched either that I don't have a real opinion at this point.
- mixmastamyk 6y agoThey were supposed to be in chronological order. Still doesn't explain how II could be before I however.
- hellbannedguy 6y agoI had a film class in college, and the instructor used Godfather 2 as a film better than the original. At the time, I agreed, but not anymore. Both are terrific. I wonder if I will ever see another great film again though, and it’s not because I’m aging.
- archagon 6y agoWell, here’s something to hope for, at least: “In April 2019, Coppola announced that he plans to direct Megalopolis, which he had been developing for many years prior. Speaking to Deadline he said ‘[...] I plan this year to begin my longstanding ambition to make a major work utilizing all I have learned during my long career, beginning at age 16 doing theater, and that will be an epic on a grand scale, which I've titled Megalopolis’.”
- mav3rick 6y agoI think the parallel story lines in Godfather 2 almost make it incomparable to 1. 2 is also a bit slower but I feel the screenplay warranted it.
