How do you rate this movie?
I have nothing but praise for the Godfather movies. Best set of movies I have seen ever. Everytime I watch them I pick up something that I had missed before, that's how good they are. The actors do a phenomenal job and the storyline is riveting. I agree with LDS_forever, A+++++
