The Godfather Series

I've been on an organized crime kick lately. For some random reason, I'm finding mafia stuff quite fascinating, so a few crime movies into this binge and I'm finally revisiting The Godfather series.

I first saw them years ago. These movies were always ranked as some of the all-time best, and yeah... I thought they were good enough. Maybe a tad overrated, but whatever. Now I'm watching them again in my contemporary point of view, after I've dissected all the tropes of the genre, and boom. These movies are fire!

I just put on Part 3 to see how off par is is, according to some. I think the first 2 films are more cohesive because they were made in the same era, so a lot of the best ideas were still at play. The definitive mafia movies (Goodfellas is close).


How do you feel about this series? Are you a mafia movie fan?
