The Godfather
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I’ve already seen *The Godfather* trilogy and *Scarface*, and I loved both.
- Jaws is an infinitely better movie. Fight Club, The Godfather, Blade Runner, some others.
- The fact that he almost got fired from The Godfather seems ludicrous now, given the remarkably restrained, thoughtful performance that helped birth a legend.
- I really love the godfather franchise…
- The Godfather
Cons
- Mario Puzo stole from it shamelessly while writing THE GODFATHER.
- Tried multiple times to start again but left books midway (Godfather, Magaicians of Mazda).
- Well, it probably isn't the whole subplot from the Godfather about Sonny's mistress getting a vaginal reconstruction surgery, which was covered in a surprising amount of detail.
- Does anyone have any recommendations that are in your top 5 that are nowhere near the level of popularity as The Godfather, Interstellar, whiplash etc.

The Godfather
The Godfather, really good variety of characters and suspense, also liked the vibe of being out of the matrix of society in a sense
