What a great movie! I had not seen it (unbelievably) until last night. There was never a scene in that movie that made me think it was a movie. I love how everyone working for the Corleone family is so confident that what they want to happen will happen...they don't argue about it. After Jack Woltz (the movie studio head) flat out refuses to cast Don's Godson in a movie, a day or two later, he wakes up with the severed head of his prized racing horse in his bed. No arguing...the Carleone's just made him an offer he couldn't refuse...they do what they need to do to get things done. Can't wait for more. Thanks to Netflix, I have parts 2 and 3 on the way (all blu-ray!).
My biggest pet peeve about movies is when you can tell that it's a movie...it takes you out of the moment. A movie is a good movie when I can watch the whole thing and never think "they're obviously acting" or "they put that there just for the shot, it's not how it would really be".
