Sorry I didn't say what the Bad news was. My mother has COPD, and she apparently has a touch of Pneumonia and was having trouble breathing in the early hours of Sat. Night.
Sorry I missed the Stream, like you Josh I had a bad news Personal Matter on Sat. night. But I have watched and like the Wheels choice! Great movie, but not for most young people these days that are used to movies Spelling everything out right away (Present Company Suspected). LOL....that's my funny Archie Bunker Line for today. That's Archie Bunker from the Classic T.V. Comedy All in the Family if you didn't know.
If you want quality, just go straight to Godfather 3. Now THERE is a classic! It's right up there with Rocky 5 and Jaws 4.
I like both Godfather 3 and Rocky 5.
Sorry I can't join you watching Godfather, I am spending that 5 hours doing something entertaining, watching a screen-saver fireplace on youtube
It's all right, on Monday on the Discord we're watching Casablanca which they wouldn't like either :D
Only just noticed another couple of my favourite films on the list, so I won't be too gutted if mine isn't chosen
The Godfather series of movies may be the most over rated film ever produced. It's plodding, anachronistic, and dull.

Holy shit you guys went straight from that into TNG S3E15? My GOD you must still be feeling that high!
Oof. Never understood the appeal of this one. Everyone else seems to love it but it just feels long & boring every time I try it.
Is that maybe because you are part of the say under 30 or so crowd Dan?
I'm on the $5 tier, but the Godfather is pretty much the best possible choice in my mind. A classic movie that deserves its habitual placement at the top of film rankings. And it's ALL ABOUT character; it's about a family at the end of the day. Hopefully right up your alley.
Tampa Theatre ran this in the summer classic series one year. Was cool to watch the film in a historic theatre from the 1920's. Godfather 2 is in the summer classic series this year interestingly.
I recently saw the Godfather at the Eastman House Dryden theater and they used the director's personal 35mm print for showing.
Love the Dryden Theater!
The Godfather largely has one version that is out there. HOWEVER, there is a combined version of Godfather 1 and 2 re-edited chronologically, adding many deleted scenes. This was first done for Network TV in the 70's making a miniseries of sorts, out of both movies. Recently HBO, did a high definition version of that version of both movies. I am not sure if it's ever been officially released on video and streaming. DVD and blu ray sets of the Godfather movies generally offer what was added to that version as separate deleted scenes,
That would be interesting to watch. Vito growing up, getting revenge, young Clemenza then Pentangeli over the years, then have the boys all celebrating before everything went to shit.
It INSISTS upon itself!
I like The Money Pit
Regarded as the best movie ever made. You guys will hate it. Just kidding... I hope 🤣
I will be quite surprised if they don't like it.
The wheel was spinning when a neighbor stopped by so I only just now saw what won. I do have The Godfather, which I did like when I finally got around to watching it but I don't know if I want to watch it again. Mine is in the set called The Coppola Restoration.
Oh no. Not the greatest movie ever. You poor souls.
BTW, how was Star Trek today? 😉
What's Star Trek? We're in a universe where they only make mafia movies.
I hope you enjoy The Godfather. It is such a well-made movie. Acting, directing, cinematography, music all come together brilliantly.
It's a good one, definitely not your average blockbuster. On paramount+, they have a fictionalized series on the making of the film, called The Offer. I would recommend it once you watch the movie.
Congrats, JD. Good film. I hope the TA at least likes it.
