thegodfather Stam Fine Reviews looks at the 1972 classic, Mario Puzo’s The Godfather, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
‘Patton’ is a bit of its time but it’s an extremely impressive movie. No wonder FFC went on to be so acclaimed.
I love the first movie and the second one is fine, but I definitely don’t find it as compelling or intelligent as the first.
"Opening up new markets for the butter industry" – hahaha perfect.
A masterpiece!👌
Your comments are very funny.
Not only do I adore the novel and film, I recently watched The Offer and it was so great. Yes it was exaggerated and campy to some degree but it was awesome fun. The performances and the casting were perfect.
It's not one for the horse lovers 😂😂
Even the Cat was a walk in. Brando made it a star.
Further to your point about Italian-Americans… I first saw GF1 and GF2 in chronological order on TV (I think it was NBC). And they were so afraid of getting complaints that they had Francis make an introduction that the film does not mean to paint all Italian-Americans as mobsters. They showed the whole thing over three or four nights, and apparently, no complaints form the public. See this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZmzX4RM-SQ
That bit about the look you give when ordering a Diet Coke and the waiter asks if Pepsi Max is okay was hilarious. I don't think I've even heard of Pepsi Max! Is that even a diet soda? Great review!
Why can't he review the offer?
A very cutting, omnibus, and mirthful review. Top-shelf stuff.
I’ll never understand the appeal of this movie. It glorifies a bunch of absolutely horrendous human beings who are really uninteresting people to boot. So yes people can be garbage. But it takes a special category of human trash to behave the way these people do. There is no redeeming oneself. It’s true they could be worse: they could be mass murderers but no they’re just murderers and traffickers.
Stam Fine as always (using an American term) hits another out of the park! Informative, succinct, & absolutely hysterical. (Spoilers) Happy Days, HD-DVD, Finatra, I'm Moe Greene, well done sir well done.
Speaking of Patton….when is the review?
To me the most frightening and chilling aspect of "The Godfather " is the transformation of Michael Corleone ; who starts off wanting nothing to do with " the family business" and ends up a ruthless killer.I have seen the movie many times : at the cinema , DVD , IFE on an overseas plane and a " concert version " where The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra played the music while the movie was screened .
Thank you that was great. Please can Santa Stan deliver a video of Daleks singing sea shanties.

SLIDERS
In my opinion the best film ever made, and I whip it out for any friends who confess to not having seen it.
I love the cat the most.
…. New markets for the butter industry 🤣🤣🤣
Can we get the "I'm Moe Greene" song as a standalone video, please? 😁
That Mo Green riff is genius!
"Boffo" by Peter Bart, former exec at Paramount who had a lot to do with this film, contains a section on how "The Godfather" went from novel to big-screen. I very much recommend it.
All because Mario Puzo wrote a novel to make enough money to cover his gambling debts.
Hand up – never seen it – the romanticising nostalgia for organised crime has never been appealing.
I sat through Scarface when it came out and found it a distasteful experience made more so by people who still think Pacino's character is a hero.
Back when movies MADE you quote them, instead of imitating crap seen on TikTok.
'I didn't like 'The Godfather', Lois. It insists on itself.'
HE'S MOE GREEN
HE'S MOE GREEN
I'M MOE GREEN
I'm surprised Hanna – Barberra didn't do a Godfather animated series where Moe Green, Sonny and Luca drive in a van fighting crime.
Wait a minute . . . THAT’S Mo Greene?
Only watched it once. I'm not a fan of gagster movies that don't have Cagney or Bogart in them.
No "The Lonely Man" tune anywhere? 🙁
A rare case when the movie is superior the novel.
8:44…" 21st Century "
The Godfather is a great movie and it's never quite what you'll expect it to be, a perfect fit for a Stam Fine aside like getting a pair of socks for Christmas that matches the underwear you're wearing… but why aren't you wearing pants as well?
