The Godfather DVD Collection (2001, DVD)

I had been looking at several stores to purchase movie collections I enjoy, when a friend said check on EBay. I was very happy when I found this collection and thrilled to win. I not only received great fast service, the set is in perfect condition. I have added this seller to my favorites also.

This collection of five DVD's is a great addition to the movie enthusiast's collection. The first four DVD's feature the original versions of Godfather I, II (on two DVD's), and III. The final DVD contains behind the scene looks at each of the films with commentary by the director and actors. Since these films are hard to locate separately, it was wonderful to be able to acquire them together with the bonus material.

I rate this movie set, a 9.99 from a 1-10. The reason I bought it was, it is very imformative about this time period.

I've seen all three movies 3 times, and the first one I've seen closer to 10. The first 2 are classics, and the 3rd one is a decent story, but isn't as earth shattering as the first two. I'd give this set an A+ on the first two movies alone. The 3rd one has a bad rep (somewhat deserving, somewhat not) because it could never live up to the first two. I still enjoyed it, but not to the degree of the first two that are a must have to anyone's collection.

i didn't get the item, it's been more than a month now seen's i purchase the item until now i didn't recieve it yet.

The three movies have always been fascinating to me. The violence suffered by Vito Andolini as a child and as a young man cause him to view the worls as an extremely dangerous place. His stilted way of protecting his wife and children take him to become his own law, judge, and executioner of dangerous people who surround them.
The manner in which similar men have adopted the same violent lifestyle degenerates into taking power, luxuries, whims, and vengeance through killing and extortion.
The love for domestic family life protected through a violent lifestyle is presented in a poignant way, showing the nefarious effects of a stilted interpretation of life. It is a fascinating story with a realistic demonstration of consequences to be faced from choices taken.

I love the dvd collection it is so much better than the vhs version it looks better and sounds better or it could be that i got a new TV i dont no but still the movie was and is great well if you dont have this dvd collection you need to get this GREAT DVD COLLECTION

This is a great collection and by far the best in its genre. It is rare to find a movie that capture the details of the original novel so vividly. A must have for serious collector and you can find a good deal here for a NIB for $25 (US version, not the bootleg import).

In my humble opinion, the first Godfather movie was the greatest movie ever made, Godfather II is the best sequal ever made, and Godfather III is..well...Godfather III. The first movie is one of the few mafia-centered movies that puts emphasis on the family, not the crime. You see that the decisions are made for the best of the family, not just for crime's sake. Good-watching!

turnaround was quick and easy to deal with a++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Prior to the purchase of this collection , I had viewed Part 1 at least 30 times, part II almost that many and part III only once. When my VHS tape of part I finally "wore out", I decided to take the plunge, which brought the "extras" disc, as well as Part III, which I didn't own at the time, For a lover of the trilogy, the "extras" disc is a must. Behind the scenes background, interviews, cut scenes, actor and crew commentary bring new incite into the productions. The three films themselves include a second English dialog option with Copoolla waxing his feelings and insights. I have also come to respect part III at this time, which I had previous dismissed due to Sophia Coppola's acting and the far-fetched Atlantic City rub-out scene. It gets into Michael's head and soul, and once it is viewed enough to follow the story clearly (it took me two more viewings) a lot of the story line starts to make more sense.
Of course, having DVD's makes it easier to skip to scenes which you wish to review. This is one package with the added bonuses make it worth the price alone, which on eBay, wasn't all that much at all.

This is an offer you can't refuse. The greatest film saga ever is here in DVD colecction. I rate "The Godfather" 10 out of 10-great cast, great screenplay-killer one-liners (and long liners), Coppola's directing shines as does Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert Duvall, Richard Castellano, Diane Keaton, and many more in the classic epic. I rate the sequel "The Godfather: Part Two" 9/10. It was pretty good, but the first one is still the best. Good directing, it really does lead up a lot to the first movie. Al Pacino leads the cast which includes Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Lee Strasberg, Michael V. Gazzo, John Cazale, Talia Shire, and in his Oscar* winning performance as Vito Corleone-Robert De Niro. Great screenplay with many more classic lines, sucj as "ROCCO, ALIVE!", "You broke my heart, Fredo", and "Keep you friends close, but your enemies closer". Then there was "The Godfather: Part Three"-all I can say is the more sequels, the worse the films get. I rate Part 3 7/10, it just didn't have the mix of the first 2, due to the fact that (for various reasons) many characters from the first two weren't in it. Directing-pretty good-acting-good-screenplay-ok. Stars Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, Talia Shore, Andy Garcia, Eli Wallach, and Joe Mantegna. In all, this is a great film series-Part One earned 11 Oscar nominations-including 3 Best Supporting Actor nominations, and it won 3, including Best Actor-Marlon Brando. Part Two earned 11 as well, winning 6, including Best Supporting Actor-Robert De Niro. Part Three was nominated for 7 Oscars. Excellent trilogy, worth buying-9/10 overall-sorry, i don't use a scale of 1 to 5. I prefer 1 to 10.

With whole story of the Corleone family brought together on one DVD collection, the Godfather is magnificent. If you dont know the story, rest assured, you will not be dissappointed if you purchase this set! The best in organized crime flicks, the Godfather is timeless!
