there was a great line in family guy, when Peter said that the movie Godfather - "insists upon itself." This piece is the opposite of that.

That's off the top of my head. My wife saw this and filled in a few more, and corrected a few.

Yes, there are so many things that would have been ten times greater with mummies.

-Godfather III lacks the depth of its predecessors, but then suddenly there's a mummy, and it all becomes awesome!
-Watching the news about missing children is depressing, but then suddenly there's a mummy, and it all becomes awesome!
-Grandpa is killed by heart complications, but suddenly he's resurrected as a mummy, and it all becomes awesome!

Note the orange one of the characters is eating at the beginning of the scene - that's a classic sign in films that something bad is about to happen (Godfather, et al).

You haven't seen the Godfather!!!! I can understand taking a pass on the other ones, but the Godfather???!!! How have you lived???

"Just when I thought I was out- they pull me back in!"

I was hoping that this would be a compilation of all the times that Sil does his godfather impressions, but this is definitely the best single clip.

"Our true enemy has yet to reveal himself"

Classic.

“I'd like to see the rest of this documentary - anyone know the title?”

An incredible Japanese documentary on the history of Funk (voice over & subtitles in Japanese, interviews etc in English) - obviously firstly focusing on it's godfather...James Brown, and then:

Part Two - Bootsy Collins
Part Three - Sly & The Family Stone plus
Part Four - Marvin Gaye & P-Funk
Part Five - The Bluenotes, David Bowie!? & Jackson 5
Part Six - Donna Summer, P-Funk's Mothership! & Public Enemy

Plus: prizes for any Sifter who can find James Browns' Funky Drummer...my favourite (and what I was originally looking for when finding all these Funky Sifts!)

That's because it was produced by Robert Evans who went really against the grain of Hollywood productions, you can see how he sold to the studio execs, The Love Story and The Godfather in this sift right here.

This address to the studio owners of Paramount was pivotal for the young producer Robert Evans, as future backing for Paramount films and projects hinged on this. While narcissistic and bold it was effective in conveying what Evans envisioned for Paramount in 1971, it payed off with large box office sales and Robert Evans went on to produce Rosemary's Baby, Love Story, The Godfather and Chinatown.

This film was released for the first time in the 2002 movie adaptation of The Kid Stays in the Picture, an autobiography penned by Robert Evans. The motion picture adaptation of the same book was directed by Nanette Burstein and Brett Morgen.

The movie chronicles Evans' rise from childhood to radio star to film star to production chief of Paramount Pictures to independent producer, his marriage to Ali MacGraw and his downfall including his 1980 Cocaine bust and implication in the murder of Roy Radin, aka "The Cotton Club Murder" and his banishment from Paramount Pictures, and his return to the studio in the early 1990s.

A wonderful film for anyone interested in the real behind the scenes of Hollywood. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303353/

The film version, released in 2002, utilizes Evans' narration interspersed with film footage from films such as The Sun Also Rises, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and The Godfather, along with interviews and photographs from Evans' life, to tell the story from his discovery by Norma Shearer for Man of a Thousand Faces, to his return to Paramount Pictures.
