Based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel and featuring career-making performances by Al Pacino, James Cann and Robert Duvall, this searing and brilliant film garnered ten Academy Award® nominations, and won three including Best Picture of 1972.

Ratings and reviews

This is my favorite movie of all time. The acting is as beautiful as the cinematics, and the characters are well developed and seemingly pulled right off the pages of the novel. The plot inspired many movies to come, and although the Godfather feel has been beaten to death, this film still manages to amaze me with its creation of a beautiful ambiance and the interactions of the characters in it. If you love the movie, then I highly suggest the book. It's even better!

Ok so you see there's a certain thing you need to know now your a fish apple a orange a ape man and a primitive modern man doesn't sound like were a born evolution man humanoid were a created image and likeness of my first natural decendent and first evolution man and one of my wives Mary Magdalene now your a cave man you have break the c of and leave it on the body of the fish symbol and you can't cut it your a cave man .

Keep in mind that this is an old film so the so-called HD version (when streamed through YouTube) only goes up to 480p. I'm not entirely sure what options you have if you buy the SD version.
