"The Godfather", I fear, was tainted for me simply because I saw "Goodfellas" first and that's how I've always thought of mob movies.<BR/><BR/>But I truly believe "Casablanca" can sway anyone.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-41702646848127858452008-07-17T15:46:00.000-05:002008-07-17T15:46:00.000-05:00I thought the same as you Brad and then I saw Casa...I thought the same as you Brad and then I saw Casablanca and Citizen Kane. Greatest movies ever made, perhaps not, but undeniably great movies, no question. In fact so much in Kane is so amazing that I was absolutely floored. The story, the acting, the cinematography hell I even knew the twist and I was still impressed. Godfather could be more problematic, I haven't seen it in some time.Rory Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368929505838549463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-69817898951524260002008-07-17T10:52:00.000-05:002008-07-17T10:52:00.000-05:00To this day, I have never seen The Godfather, Casa...To this day, I have never seen <I>The Godfather</I>, <I>Casablanca</I> or <I>Citizen Kane</I>, and I probably never will. Why? Because all I have been hearing for my entire life is that they are the greatest movies ever made. I'm sure they are great, but if I watch them, I'll rip them to shreds. There is no way they will ever measure up to the mammoth hype they've been given. With <I>The Dark Knight</I>, I am trying to keep my expectations on par with the first film, and no higher. Because I don't think it's unreasonable to want a sequel to at least equal its predecessor (even though it rarely happens).Wretched Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691397733214664019noreply@blogger.com
