I think 2 is the best movie ever, but 1 is right up there.

I can't decide if I should even attempt part 2. Maybe I'll give it a shot

You should. I don’t really care for 3, but you should probably watch it to close

I'd suggest Keeping up with the Kardashians for a man of your tastes

I know this is the case. That's why it's hard to appreciate older movies

Same reason we still talk about past NBA greats.

You critique the acting in the Godfather then laud the Departed

Nicholson in The Departed was awesome. Brando was barely in The Godfather

Character development was terrible? The Godfather? I don't think you understand

Did you miss the whole sequence at the hospital? There were multiple scenes

The Offer is fantastic. But the Godfather is iconic.

I'm still laughing at you're "all old movies suck" line.

So you wanted the Godfather to be breaking bad.

I think it's an excellent film and very well made. I think there is a reason why it's been studied and lauded.

The Offer is great. The Godfather is great. Watching The Offer makes the movie
