Watched The Godfather & loved it to a degree, Brando and Pacino are amazing, the plot moves quickly until midway through & it is clearly responsible for all the hilarious Italian American stereotypes in later mafia films. My fave Coppolla is still Apocalypse Now. Will watch Godfather 2 hopefully by the end of the week.
Hard to explain, but while I understand why it's a classic, it is dated. Don't stone me lol! Though I definately want to watch more early Brando!
Watching Robin Hood Prince of thieves, having last watched it when I was 12 (so 26 years ago) and not enjoyed it as too talky & confusing!
It is considered to be a classic hollywood adventure, so I thought I'd try it again......
Oh dear, still not enjoying it. A good cast does not an engaging film make. Slow, confusing and too many characters. Must try the Errol Flynn version!
The Disney version is in my opinion the best version of Robin Hood!
