How many of you are like me, who believe that Part II is superior to Part I? I mean, they're both four-star flicks, no doubt but I find Part II a bit more satisfying.


I think most people agree that, though they're both awesome, the second one is slightly better than the first.

>> ^blankfist:
That's awesome. What's next? You gonna post the ending to Usual Suspects? "Hey everybody, my name is KronosAsseidon, and Keyser Söze is actually Kevin Spacy."


I know right? We wouldn't want to ruin the ending of a 30+ year old movie

As I see it, the premiss of this film is against illegal adoptions. NOT legal ones.

I have very good friends who were adopted. I'm godfather to the son of one.

Every movie in the history of cinema would be better with Natalie Portman. If she had of played the daughter in Godfather Part 3 we would be calling it the greatest movie sequel in history.

These are the latest imdb stats:
votes/percentage/rating in stars for the Dark Knight
98,885 73.0% 10
18,337 13.5% 9
8,215 6.1% 8
2,989 2.2% 7
1,141 0.8% 6
648 0.5% 5
339 0.3% 4
298 0.2% 3
420 0.3% 2
4,171 3.1% 1

It seems like the fans (10 stars voters) are trying to claim the no. 1 position, just like during the Lord of the Rings, but in the end this flick will go down in ranking with the Godfather and the like reigning again.

I voted 6 stars, as this movie will not be etched in people's minds - only when you haven't seen anything better..
Maybe the face and acting of The Joker will survive but this roller coaster ride through an exploding bombastic (visual and auditive) dark Gotham without any real suspense arcs is out of balance..as part of the Batman series it may be seen as a terror chapter but I expect an entertaining movie (especially in a story about heroes/villains) to have a full story told where I also - to some degree - have some compassion with the (extremely terrorized/scared) characters and objects/surroundings. Nolan did not succeed in this.

edit: a day later, the downward trend is already clearly visible
104,980 71.8% 10
20,501 14.0% 9
9,443 6.5% 8
3,408 2.3% 7
1,301 0.9% 6
753 0.5% 5
383 0.3% 4
336 0.2% 3
465 0.3% 2
4,610 3.2% 1

This movie was good, but it was no Godfather. IMDB has no substance in their voting system.

>> ^Sarzy:
Aside from having a 94 percent rating at Rotten Tomatoes (which is almost unheard of for a big summer action movie), it's already shot up to number one at the IMDB top 250, so I can say this with a good amount of certainty: dag, you are koo-koo crazy.

A Clockwork Orange was better, I think. The Godfather movie is superior to the book. Lord of Rings by far. Let's see, Lolita, by Kubrick.

Like the song. Love the Movie. Did I mention that the book is awesomely phenomenal? Also, Ken Kesey is just the shit in general. IMHO this is the best book to movie adaptation ever. If someone else has a better alternative, I am open to examine.

The Godfather. 2 shots of Scotch Whiskey and 2 shots of Amaretto, mixed together with some ice in it. OH GOD SO GOOD I CAN'T STOP DRINKING IT.

There was good reason to dislike Marlon Brando, but he was also a genius. Sometimes it's hard to come to terms with things like that.

>> ^Klytus:
I'd like to see the rest of this documentary - anyone know the title?


Classic bit of footage here. I'm sure if you look on the DVD extras of the Godfather you'll find plenty of this stuff.

OK I got it wrong, Mark Heap is not the godfather he's the nephew. Chris Morris ruuuules Loving any of these sifts

Mark Heap is indeed the godfather of British comedy nowadays, has his finger in most of them pies. I'm right with ya there and you is a legend for calling it
In reply to this comment by Zonbie:
Oh I have to upvote - because Mark Heap is AWESOME! LOL

this is fucking hilarious, nice sift!
I guess this should also be *1sttube

Nice Godfather scene at the end. hehe

1. Kurosawa
2. Scorsese
3. Alexander Payne
4. Welles
5. Coen Brothers

Honorable Mention:

6. Francis Ford Coppola - Sure, his later work sucked, but anyone who made The Godfather, The Godfather Part II, AND Apocalypse Now deserves at least some sort of recognition, for crying out loud.

7. Sergio Leone - How could no one mention him? He did The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, Once Upon a Time in The West, and Once Upon a Time in America. Show a little respect, capisce?

8. Steven Spielberg - Some people hate him, but he's given us a lot of good films.

9. John Waters - Hello? Why am I the only one to mention this genius?

10. Hitchcock - No explanation necessary.
