The Godfather.

So today was a snowday here in the Midwest, so what's a girl to do. I was sick last night, fell asleep to Imagine: John Lennon, and woke up the time school starts. I've been wanting to watch my Coppola Restoration The Godfather for a while now, and I recommended it to a friend of mine (hopefully he's seen it before, if not I'm sorry) and I had the time to watch this truly amazing 3 hour masterpiece by "the" Francis Ford Coppola. This movie is amazing, filled with mafia bosses, and delegations and dealing with competing families in the "family business." A crime dynasty of the Italian hertiage, filled with killings and lies and deciet, makes all the more true and awesome. The 40's wardrobe, and all the Italian names where you have to have a Godfather expert there when you watch it for the first time, so you can understand what is going on just makes it all the more better. I don't know, this is not a girl movie by any means, but for film addicts this is normally a top pick. I am a major fan of Francis Ford Coppola and just about everyone(there are a few exceptions) in their gene pool, to Sofia who directed The Virgin Suicides to Nicholas Cage's directoral debut Sonny. They all are amazing, but yet hard to describe why they are so good, but to all my guy friends-- you must see this movie, if not I will easily call you a sinner. Or give you a shocked look. It is also filled with amazing actors: Marlon Brando (need I say more), James Caan, Al Pacino, and countless others and even a small sighting of Bela Lagosi. I've watched it many times, and noticied he was in it, he is in Ed Wood.
If you ever or never thought you'd be interested in mafia dealings, or just want to see the movie all the references are based on, then I suggest seeing this. Best 3 hours of my snow day! :)
