Not *the* best movie. Certainly up there, though.

when you write spoilers put them in white. so the person has to go over the lettering to see the spoiler. This way people can still enjoy the movie.

Come on! It's such an old movie I wasn't going to even put 'spoiler' in it. This is the thanks I get for trying to do people a favor.

1. You can choose between a black or white background on Gamespot, so putting the text in white wouldn't help the people using black...I think the majority uses black too.
2. He can just use [spoiler] spoiler [/spoiler] tags.

its definitely an excellent movie. Hell, "excellent" might be an understatement, but I wouldn't say that it's the best.

Ok, I got my Flame Shield on, and my heat resistant gear and gel, so I think I'm ready to post. The God Father. Yes, I'm gonna come out and say it. The God Father was good, but I feel it's overrated. The God Father has become like Citizen Kane, where even people who haven't seen it claim it's the greatest thing ever, just because that's what everyone else says. Don't get me wrong, The Godfather was great, but it was too long in my opinion. I wish people would watch some of the older movies because they don't know what they are missing. There are movies out there that are superior to the Godfather. Off the top of my head... It's A Wonderful Life (1946). Sure it's a holiday type of movie, but this movie is the definition of classic. Unfortunately, since everyone only ever talks about The Godfather when it comes to older movies, a lot of gems go unseen :(

I know what you're saying, but with that in mind, I still view it as an absolutely brilliant movie. Nearly every scene is filled with superb drama or great tension. The second movie is even better, which is miraculous. It's A Wonderful Life is pretty good too, though no The Godfather, in my opinion.

Even better is that it's directed by Frank Darabont, the man who directed Shawshank, so you know what you're getting if you loved Shawshank.

He also directed "The Mist" which is yet again a Stephen King novel, and while not quite as good as his previous works, still a very enjoyable movie overall
