The Godfather Trilogy (5
Discs)
The Godfather: (Disc 1)
Considered by many to be the greatest movie ever made, Francis Ford
Coppola's epic masterpiece features Oscar winner Marlon Brando as the
head of the Corleone family. Coppola paints a chilling portrait of a
Sicilian family's rise and near fall from power in America, and the
passage of rites from a father to a son who was previously uninvolved in
the business.
Godfather Part II: (Discs 2 and 3)
The Godfather Part II is one of the rare breed of cinematic sequels
which is as good as, and perhaps better than, the original. Al Pacino
heads the star cast as Michael Corleone, heir to the criminal empire
established by his Mafioso father, the late Don Corleone.
Michael is now in charge of all gambling activities in Nevada, making
certain that any and all political or mob enemies are quickly bought
off, compromised, or disposed of. Throughout the film, Michael's
travails are paralleled with the early experiences of his father, played
in flashbacks by Robert DeNiro.
The Godfather III: (Disc 4)
In the final instalment of the Godfather Trilogy, an aging Don Michael
Corleone seeks to legitimise his crime family's interests and remove
himself from the violent underworld.
Now in his sixties, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his
family from crime, and finding a suitable successor. That successor
could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark
that turns Michael's hopes of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob
violence.
Disc 5: Bonus Features! |
