New week in movies. I am really trying to keep a more open mind about watching different genres and older movies. This week I rewatched maybe my all-time favourite movie: The Godfather. Which was fantastic. I also watched some proper rubbish (Pirates 5) and some real classics (Casablanca). It is fun watching a diverse amount of movies and becoming a more conscious movie consumer! I had not seen The Godfather part 2 before, and although not as great as the first one it was still a great watch. Annie Hall and Sing Street were little gems of this week too.
The Godfather (1972)
Needs no introduction I’m sure. This movie is sublime. Directed by Francis Coppola, it has become widely regarded as one of the best movies of all time. From great, quotable lines, to fantastic music.
For those who haven’t seen it yet, it is about the American-Italian mafia (the movie never states mafia or mob though). The Godfather, Don Corleone (Marlon Brando), is the head of one of the mob families in New York, post WW2. One of his sons, Michael (Al Pacino), is actually a civilian, but when the family is under threat he needs to decide whether or not to get involved in the family business.
We watched this in one of the nicer cinemas in Amsterdam:
