IMDb Synopsis: When the aging head of a famous crime family decides to transfer his position to one of his subalterns, a series of unfortunate events start happening to the family, and a war begins between all the well-known families leading to insolence, deportation, murder and revenge, and ends with the favorable successor being finally chosen

Critic Opinion: "After the first hurrahs for The Godfather, critical reaction to the movie has snagged on a few key questions. Does it revel in Hollywood gangster melodrama? Does it sentimentalize the Mafia? Does it present the Mob as a metaphor for all business or politics? One of TIME's cinema critics gives his assessment:

 

"I believe in America."

 

Those opening words, heard over a black screen, are a testament and a plea—not so much a pledge of allegiance to an adopted country as an obeisance to a shadow government of profound power." - Jay Cocks

User Opinion: "My favorite of all time. Got the restoration blu-ray set for Christmas.I can discuss this movie all day long. The acting is just so superb. One of my favorite of all time scenes that doesn't discussed much is the scene where Vito gets shot and poor Fredo is so inept he can't even get the gun right to shoot back. The acting from John Cazale and the pain and guilt he feels because he couldn't do anything to help his father really gets to me. It's a small thing and would get un noticed but that's just how great the story and acting is from all the players." - ecstasy

Personal Comment: Coming ahead of its sequel, The Godfather makes its appearance at number 4 on our list, the first time it has been in the top 5 since 2012.  The Godfather is also the 10th movie from the 1970s to make out countdown, moving the decade up in the rankings.  This is also the only franchise in history to score not just one, but two best picture wins, making it one for the record books (along with its massive box office take).  The Godfather is the most brilliant mob movie of our time, and there have been many of them, so its place so high on the countdown is quite revealing at that matter.  There are so many iconic moments buried throughout the films, as well as a score that dwells within your mind for the rest of your life.  Everything within this movie is a class act, from the performances, to the writing, and to the directing.  The Godfather is one of the most powerful movies ever made.

(As an aside, I suspect this is what happens when people make lists of whatever they liked, off the top of their head).

Nolan is the one thing we're capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space

[Tower]

While Interstellar being on here is trolling, Interstellar really is a great film that easily made my list (though not seventh, and not Nolan's best). And yes, it is much better than any of the Star Wars films that range from bad to average, and which didn't come anywhere near my list.
