This film is more about family than gangsters.

2025-04-12 21:30:23 +0000 UTCI know everyone is always “recommending” but your next sci-fi thriller NEEDS to be John Carpenter’s EACAPE FROM NEW YORK!

2025-03-16 14:16:43 +0000 UTCAnother good Al Pacino pick is "The Devil's Advocate"!

2025-03-15 13:22:10 +0000 UTCShe was asking about his ("Family affairs" )business, and he lied to her. The remaining 10 or 20 seconds were the storytellers letting you know Michael is NOW the Godfather, i.e., Don Corleone. All-time great movie.🤩 The director(Francis Ford Coppola) also directed "Apocalypse Now" which starred Robert Duvall(Crazy Lt. Colonel on the beach who wanted to surf) and Marlon Brando( The Colonel who the military wanted dead)

2025-03-15 10:49:14 +0000 UTCThe Horse,s head was real it was cheaper than making a model one so they found a Horse that was going to the slaughter house to become dog food, also the cat was not supposed to be in the movie it was wandering around the Set and started playing with Brando so they kept it in.

2025-03-15 00:56:53 +0000 UTCIf you liked Al Pacino in this movie, you should watch "Dog Day Afternoon". Supposedly it's Al Pacino's greatest performance.

2025-03-14 23:30:10 +0000 UTCThe baby in the baptism scene is Sofia Coppola, the daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, the director of this movie. She later became an award winning director herself.

2025-03-14 23:04:22 +0000 UTC1:59:20 I've been watching Movie Munchies since the start and I think that's the first time I've heard Chi say "Fuck". I mean, it's justified, but surprising. This movie has so many horrible surprises. It's really like the original "Game of Thrones".
Prometheus
2025-03-14 22:17:48 +0000 UTCThe singer Johnny Fontaine is based on Frank Sinatra, and it's said that he had ties to the Mafia and asked them to help him get a part in the movie "From Here to Eternity". The scenes in the movie where Fontaine asks Don Corleone for help getting the part, and the scenes depicting how Don Corleone helps him are (loosely) based on (supposed) fact.
Prometheus
2025-03-14 20:21:25 +0000 UTCLet's hope so...
SWEET MELISSA
2025-03-13 12:16:06 +0000 UTCI’m sure Part 2 is going to arrive at some point! I’m still on the fence as to whether Part 1 or Part 2 is the better movie. Both absolutely brilliant storytelling. And the scene switches between Vito and Michael in Part 2 are fantastic. If for nothing else, to give more insight into Vito’s journey. However if you put a gun to my head (and told me to sign the contract), I would just about lean towards Part 1 for Michael’s story arc. Very difficult choice though!
Duncan
2025-03-12 20:19:56 +0000 UTCYES...Cry is a good emotion..It let's us know,we're human
SWEET MELISSA
2025-03-11 00:03:37 +0000 UTCApparently, the orange scene where Vito dies was Coppola's favorite scene in all three Godfathers. Sad scene but what a beautiful way to die, running through your garden with your grandson. The film really does a good job making you care for him considering he's a murderer. I think I like the second film better to be honest. The scenes with De Niro juxtaposed against the scenes with Pacino are some of the best filmmaking I've ever seen.

2025-03-10 11:15:59 +0000 UTCAnd us and all the Munchies cry? 😂
Duncan
2025-03-10 05:50:32 +0000 UTCThis movie is actually tragic. Vito (in his own way) just about works his way through the situations presented to him with a kind of morality; a code of honour (such as it it). He gets by. Doing very bad things, but the motivation always seemed to be about justice, or putting bread on the table for his family. And then Michael went wrong - his entire motivation in the end seems to be about power and vengeance. I don’t think Vito would have been proud of Michael!
Duncan
2025-03-10 04:49:26 +0000 UTCShe’s got…. a GREAT ASS! And your head, is all the way up it! 🙂❤️
Duncan
2025-03-09 21:33:15 +0000 UTClol The Devil's Advocate (1997) Is more keanu reeves, but sure
King Bob
2025-03-09 21:14:01 +0000 UTCAl Pacino’s recent memoir (Sonny Boy) is well worth it if you want some trivia on this. There’s a section in it where Pacino (a nobody) had to meet Brando (a star) before they met to do their scenes. He met Brando for lunch, who was fat and eating chicken legs and telling Pacino that he’d be ok in his first big movie role so don’t worry! 🙂
Duncan
2025-03-09 19:46:37 +0000 UTCDog Day Afternoon is an absolute masterclass of comedy and tension. It’s a great film. Hopefully the Munchies do it!
Duncan
2025-03-09 19:42:47 +0000 UTCNever much of a fan of GGR, but The Devil's Advocate is top notch!
David Collins
2025-03-09 19:09:58 +0000 UTCHeat (1995) Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) It's a minor role but still. The Devil's Advocate (1997)

2025-03-09 16:45:32 +0000 UTCMore Al Pacino movies please!!

2025-03-09 05:33:53 +0000 UTC68. lol Hella? Date someone else in the meantime? ha ha ha, I thought you were about loyalty and romance. Chi, "no head head. " You ladies are on a roll with all these movie uploads. I find your uploads very entertaining because your reactions are genuine and your always captivated by the movies you watch. On to the next
Saints_Madness
2025-03-08 22:09:49 +0000 UTCVery interesting reaction. Most women who I know who have seen it, even my own family members, never could relate to or understand why Michael didn’t know when he would see Kay again (in the beginning of the movie when his dad was shot). But you two both immediately understood why he didn’t have an answer for her and asked her to understand and not be so needy. Kay is more a stereotypical American woman so I wonder if you were able to understand Michael because of the cultural differences between America and Vietnam.

2025-03-08 16:06:39 +0000 UTCYes . Dog day Afternoon & Carlitos Way
SWEET MELISSA
2025-03-08 16:06:08 +0000 UTCA couple more great Al Pacino movies are 'Scent of a Woman' and 'Dog Day Afternoon'. If you want to see Marlon Brando when he was younger I'd recommend 'A Streetcar Named Desire' (1951).

2025-03-08 14:54:10 +0000 UTCPeople can do some of the most evil things anyone has ever done if they think it will help their family, good people that think they are doing something good to help their family, at the same time someone might think it's evil. When a crime fits into the category of dog eat dog or survival of the fittest, or crimes of passion, I wouldn't call it evil. Crimes of religion, bigotry and greed, I would call those evil.

2025-03-08 13:52:37 +0000 UTC"Scent of a woman" is also a good film, if you`re going to see him doing something else than crime movies....

2025-03-08 11:07:26 +0000 UTCGreat reaction, I`ve been looking forward for this one. A couple of details that I saw you were a little confused about: -The film is made in 1972, but the story starts in 1945 and ends about 1955. When Micheel arrives at the wedding in a uniform he comes directly from World War II where he fought and got decorated. -Michaels exile is near the village Corleone on the island of Sicilly (wich is a part of Italy). This is the village where his father grew up. I know you are going to react on Godfather part two (who is just as good as this one) , but i also hope you will finish the whole triology. Part three are often overlooked, and not as famous as the two first ones, but it`s definitly worth watching if you like the storyline of the first two..

2025-03-08 06:56:46 +0000 UTCGreat reaction ladies. You two picked up most of the plot points. It's not an easy movie to follow at times with all the betrayal going on. Lord knows when I first watched it I was so confused.

2025-03-08 05:44:50 +0000 UTCCasino is next :)
Jow Shmoe
2025-03-08 05:24:57 +0000 UTCIt is based on a collection of real events from history. People like it because it shows how complicated humans are. The world is full of many evil people, but pretending they don’t exist doesn’t mean they will go away. Good people can sometimes do bad things. Bad people can sometimes do good things. Humans are complicated.

2025-03-08 04:56:10 +0000 UTCIf you want more Al Pacino, you should watch HEAT. Another crime movie but Pacino is a cop. A TRUCE is when people agree to stop fighting. When the children were playing in the street with the fire hydrant, they were not bathing but just playing in the water. In the hot summer, someone would open the hydrant a little and the kids would play. I grew up on the farm so me and my friend would play in a sprinkler meant to water crops. Don in Italian means "Lord", so at first they call Michael's dad Don Corleone, but at the end of the movie the title moves to him. Talia Shire plays Michael's sister, Connie. She's one of the main characters in ROCKY, and she's really great in that movie.

2025-03-08 03:12:34 +0000 UTCIncredible reaction Chi and Hella, you two certainly understood a lot more than I did when I first saw this. Loved your breakdown on mafia culture at the end.
Patrick
2025-03-08 02:03:03 +0000 UTCInstead of research, you girls should start reading a little trivia after the film, similar to what CineBinge does after they watch a film. It's always interesting!!

2025-03-08 01:40:28 +0000 UTCYou girls should watch No Country For Old Men

2025-03-08 01:01:00 +0000 UTCI never understood why people like movies about gangsters, gangs, drug dealers etc... These people are on the wrong side of right and wrong, maybe I don't see any middle ground.

2025-03-07 21:46:42 +0000 UTCI always find it so hilarious how shocked people are when Michael lies to Kay at the end. They do such a fantastic job with the story that most people don't realize it's a villain origin story. Also, everyone consistently underestimates Micheal the whole movie when in reality he's the smartest and most dangerous killer(War Hero) of all of them.
Edward Lewis
2025-03-07 21:03:45 +0000 UTCi havent watch the whole movie in 10 years or so, but i was a peasure to watch it with these lady again from start to finish.
JessDMorgan
2025-03-07 20:54:10 +0000 UTCYou fought very hard against believing how corrupt Michael had become, even at the end. This movie at it's heart is about corruption through money and power, and how people justify the evil they do. It's just business.
Mr Jackpots
2025-03-07 20:52:49 +0000 UTCYou both would make great Italian gangsters.
matthew
2025-03-07 20:39:06 +0000 UTCThat bit where the Don scared the little kid by sticking the orange in his mouth was not in the script. Marlon Brando just did it and actually scared the kid. They kept it in.
Mr Jackpots
2025-03-07 20:29:23 +0000 UTCThis story is at least partially true. All the names were changed of course. The singer was Frank Sinatra and the movie role he wanted was in From Here To Eternity. Great movie, you should watch it. Everyone involved has denied the horse head thing ever happened, but then they would say that wouldn't they?

2025-03-07 19:56:19 +0000 UTCThis movie is great. It’s loosely based on real history around the crime boss Lucky Luciano.

2025-03-07 19:35:48 +0000 UTCI've watched this movie many times and I still sometimes notice new details. I'm glad you enjoyed this masterpiece and I'm sure you'll enjoy part 2.
