Considered by many to be the greatest movie ever produced, Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Oscar winner Marlon Brando as the head of the Corleone family. Coppola paints a chilling portrait of a Sicilian family's rise and near fall from power in America, and the passage of rites from father to son, who was previously uninvolved in the business.



With a cast of fairly unknown actors at the time: Al Pacino (Godfather part II & III, Scarface, Heat, Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco), James Caan (Mickey Blue Eyes, Misery), Robert Duvall (Godfather Part II, Apocalypse Now) and Diane Keaton (Manhattan, Annie Hall) and a known risk: Marlon Brando (A Streetcar Named Desire, On the Waterfront), Coppola managed to construct a masterpiece that perfectly depicted the Mafia lifestyle without glamorising it. The rise of youngester Michael Corleone, who is slowly forced to take control of the 'family business', is a powerful and terrifying study of moral decay, political corruption and the breakdown of the family unit. Pacino gives a performance that literally sucks the audience in and slowly reveals the personal horror of the American-dream gone bad.
