It’s odd that we’ve made it to the seventies before having trouble getting ahold of the DVDs we’re supposed to watch, but Netflix seems to have some gaps in its collection of Oscar winners from the era.

I first watched The Godfather trilogy my freshman year in college, as I was avoiding anything resembling studying for finals. I was impressed by parts I and II, but I found part II to be quite lousy. I think I like part II the best, as part I moves a little slowly at times. That said, it’s still a wonderful movie.

What did I like about the movie? The music, Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Marlon Brando, the epic scope (man am I a sucker for an epic), and the dialogue. What don’t I like? Diane Keaton. I also found it really hard to keep all the characters straight, particularly the Corleone family liutenants.
