The Godfather (Coppola, 1972)
I feel kind of silly doing a writeup for The Godfather. If you're reading this blog at all you've probably already seen it, and nothing I can write can change your opinion one way or another. Godfather is great for all the reasons it's supposed to be great. It's an epic crime drama with brilliant performances and beauatifully staged scenes. If I were to criticize anything it'd be that the juxtopposition of the Christian imagery to scenes of horrendous violence is a little cheesy. But, given that almost every scene in the whole picture is iconic, I really have nothing more to say.

80/101
I'm falling behind in my writing, because I started my Masters thesis last month. I've actually already watched those three movies and haven't written about them yet. I should be able to see all 100 (101 if I decide to watch through On The Waterfront again) before the end of the year as planned.
