The Godfather is one of the very few films that doesn’t have a single flaw. Seeing The Godfather for the first time was the most amazing movie experiences of my life. There’s scenes that stay with you when the movies over, and you don’t forget them. The dialogue is just unbelievable. I’ve seen the movie many times, and l'm still amazed at how perfect it is.
