Oh man.... what a choice....

I have a feeling Leone's gonna win, so I'm voting for Mockingbird. So many great qualities... amazing script, tons of social commentary, a masterful performance by Peck, tons of atmosphere, introducing Robert Duval. It really wowed me as a kid, and it still does.

nah ...


i've never been as crazy about The Godfather as most people.
I wont say it's overrated - i hate that word - it's popularity speaks for itself ...


it just does't hit me the way Evil Dead did on any level.

(i probably watched The Evil Dead about 20 times .. The Godfather - 2 - maybe 3 times)


quality vs entertainment maybe ?


to be honest - the only gangster themed movie i like is Millers Crossing which i think is about 1000X better than The Godfather.
