The Panda Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Number 11 The Godfather: Part II (1974) 86 Points (23 Votes, Avg Score 29.217) "My father taught me many things here - he taught me in this room. He taught me: keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." Top 5 Placements: 3 Placements Top 10 Placements: 5 Placements Changes in Rankings Over Time: 2014 (34, +23), 2013 (8, -3), 2012 (8, -3) Tomatometer: 97% Box Office: 47.54m (218.14m Adjusted) Most Notable Awards Recognition: Won 6 Oscars, Including Best Picture IMDb Synopsis: The continuing saga of the Corleone crime family tells the story of a young Vito Corleone growing up in Sicily and in 1910s New York; and follows Michael Corleone in the 1950s as he attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba. Critic Opinion: "When superfans speak of the superiority of The Godfather Part II, this is not merely to be contrary. Coppola took Mario Puzo’s pulp and darkened it with Nixonian paranoia and the power of political back rooms. The sequel’s decadence—Michael sweeping down on Fredo, Kay, all of them—is counterweighted by nostalgia, as we see the young immigrant Vito (De Niro) striving to protect his own. Thus we have the birth of a quasi-noble idea: the neighborhood defender. But De Niro, gun barrel blazing, plays it squirrelly, unsure if bad wheels have been set in motion. Vito’s son will pay the ultimate price, a descent that is the richest the movies have to offer." - Joshua Rothkopf User Opinion: "I'll echo others and say that is the greatest or at least one of the greatest sequels of all time. I'm still undecided whether I like this or the original better, perhaps I'll settle on them being equally as good." - Scottb Personal Comment: There's a common idea that a sequel is never as good as the original, as untrue as I believe that statement is, it's carried around all the same. You would think that a sequel to a movie as legendary as The Godfather couldn't possibly live up to it, and then again The Godfather: Part II managed to shock the world and be a film that most view as on the same plane or even superior. The Godfather: Part II is the 9th movie on our countdown from the 90s. This movie also has some of the best reviews out of any movie to make our countdown (only losing out to a few movies such as Citizen Kane). While this movie may not be as iconic as the original, it still manages to place itself on the same pedestal from its pure ingenuity. The top 10 will begin a bit later tonight, and we'll hit the big cliffhanger for the day.... 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, like the Wachowski's, is also somewhat of a one hit wonder only if you include all 3 Lord of the Rings movies as one and ignore the potential greatness of King Kong. You know he made movies prior to LOTR right. Heavenly Creatures is one of the all-time greats. Braindead and Forgotten Silver are both wonderful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukaio101 Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Personally, I think the Wachowski's are underrated period. Only movies of theirs I'd call actually bad are Matrix Revolutions and Jupiter Ascending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Yeah Bound is damn good. Prime example in how to spin a stylish twisty thriller out of just a couple locations and three major characters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
