Which one of my new movies should I watch

[JohnKleeb]

Poll question: Which one of my new movies should I watch

:hi: Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays everyone

[kixot]

1. watch the first two Godfathers

most people try to erase the third from their memory

[JohnKleeb]

2. 6 hours eh?

Yeah everyone tells me the third one is :puke:, but I had to get it because ma and da got my the DVD collection. I wish I had mob connections ;).

13. Defending Godfather 3

While it's not up to the level of the first two, folks dismiss the third, and usually base it on Sofia Coppola's performance... to my mind, she's perfectly cast as "the boss's daughter" -- partly because that's who she was. But the Valley Girl speak, and her uh, exotic, looks just made it that much more convincing that Andy Garcia's character was pursuing her because she was the boss's daughter, not because she was any great trophy in herself. I think Winona Ryder dropped out of that part, which is probably for the best. ANYBODY would fall for Winona, no matter who her daddy is.

Sofia's proven she has some real filmmaking chops with "Lost in Translation" and "The Virgin Suicides" -- so I gotta believe she and Francis knew what they were doing with her portrayal of Mary Corleone.

That aside, yes, G3 is kinda convoluted, but they had to raise the stakes on "the caper" and achieve some closure, and make sure to trot out every surviving character from I & II.

"All we are saying, is give 3 a chance..."

14. If I can give Dude Wheres my Car a chance

I sure can give G3 a chance.

3. "Fredo, don't ever go against the family."

[JohnKleeb]

4. godfather that means

:) Thanks.

[Wetzelbill]

5. watch the first two one right after the other

it's a great experience.

[JohnKleeb]

8. thanks I will do that sometime

[VelmaD]

6. I got movies too this year...

Shrek from my 4 year old nephew. :-)

History of the World Part 1 from my momma.

The Indiana Jones box set from my brother. Gonna watch the special features on that one later today I think.

Watch "All Quiet on the Western Front". Great movie. Very sad.

[JohnKleeb]

7. ok thanks Velma

I am not sure yet. :hi: My grandparents should be over like in a few hours with the present I want most, Call of Duty :).

[FDRrocks]

16. History of the World is hysterical.

Enjoy Velma!

[Liberal_Andy]

9. one vote for road

man, you sure got some dark ones.

(And good ones!)

[JohnKleeb]

12. well I have a diverse taste in movies

One day I could be watching Old School, the next movie I could be watching could be Band of Brothers or something, and come to think I havent seen that in a whiles.

[jobycom]

10. Go trade them in on Holes, or Amelie, or something cheerful

It's Christmas!! Godfather? All Quiet on the Western Front? Watch those some other time, like during the State of the Union Speech. They seem appropriate, then.

[JohnKleeb]

11. Holes? Ameile?

:shrug: :wtf: not my kinds of movies lol altho I enjoyed Holes the books. Trade in? are ya mad.
lol during the SotU speech. I dont care :).

[jobycom]

20. Yours are good, just rather down for Christmas

Have you seen the movie Holes? The author wrote the screenplay. Very good.

Godfather must be a Yankee thing. They're good, but so damned overrated.

And on books being better than movies, you have to read All Quiet on the Western Front. Great movie, better book.

[JohnKleeb]

21. Yankee?

Dude I am from Virginia, not very Yankee at all. I read All Quiet thats why I got it. I read Holes when I was younger.

[jobycom]

22. Yankee is anybody north of Baton Rouge!

I remember this five years I lived in the North. Dallas. Man, that was rough.

Okay, so maybe the Godfather thing is just me. Good films, but I feel like I do when I watch Neil Simon-- like I'm on the outside of a bunch of inside jokes. Then again, my life often feels like that...

[FDRrocks]

15. Watch Godfather I and II

But spare yourself the disappointment of III :)

Merry Xmas Kleebert.

[HEyHEY]

17. Boondock saints

"Certainly illustrates the diversity of the word"

[Forkboy]

18. Definately Boondock Saints

"How did you two fuckin fucks...fuck!?!?!"

Friggin hilarious movie!

[LanternWaste]

19. "Leave the gun. Take the canoli"

If you've not seen 'The Godfather' before, do so. Now! Before you do anything else in your life!

In fact, even if you have seen it before, watch it again. It's a classic for a reason....

"Leave the gun. Take the canoli"

[Spirochete]

23. Why is there an "other"option?

I, for one, have no idea what other ones you got besides those listed. On the other hand, I am going to vote for Other, meaning "Watch them all!" Merry Christmas. :)

[JohnKleeb]

24. always need other lol

:) always!

[AlFrankenFan]

25. Godfather Part 1!

Man I forgot how much I love those movies!
Happy Holidays!
