O/T Another film you just cannot turn off

[Nardendee]

Flicking through the boring Festive TV and .....I come across 'The GodFather'.

Marlon Brando had just been shot but I was straight into it like putting on an old favourite slipper.

How does anyone else rate this trilogy of films?

I have visited Sicily where they shot a lot of the film, not on purpose but by sheer chance part of our holiday at the time.

As a footnote, I could watch this lot every year and never tire of it.

I think the Godfather Trilogy is one of those films where the second film is arguably better than the first, but both were excellent. I didn’t rate the third one at all.

Have you seen the Godfather The Epic?

First two films edited into chronological order with some added scenes (it was first shown on TV).

Think it only came on on VHS, but I copied it to DVD.

The Abominable Dr Phibes. Hamming it up at it's finest.

From Wikipedia

Barrie Keeffe wrote a sequel, Black Easter Monday, set 20 years after the events of the first film. It opened with Bob Hoskins's character; Harold Shand, escaping from the IRA after the car was pulled over by police. Shand would retire to Jamaica, then return to stop the East End being taken over by the Yardies.[10] However, the film was never made. In one of his last interviews, Keeffe seemed unconcerned by the lack of development: "In some ways, I’m glad we didn’t because sequels are usually diminishing returns. To put it up there with Casablanca, no one wants Casablanca II."

Thanks for that Cam, I'd never heard about that before, interesting stuff, but possibly bestvleftvas a standalone classic.

Another good film I've not seen for years. I must watch that again soon.

O/T One to watch
Starting now on channel 4seven....The Ten Commandments. 1956 Charlton Heston, Yul Brinner, a true classic if ever there was one.

You just need to put almost 4 hours to one side to watch it.
