I was too young for the Venezuelan movie theater rating system to see it when it came out back way then. After that I saw it once or twice in crappy movie houses and I believe they were 16 mm copies rather than a full 30 mm theatrical release film. Other than that, I have only seen The Godfather in TV screens and I have The Godfather – The Coppola Restoration Blu-ray. So, watching The Godfather fully restored into 4K UHD in the huge screen is something I have to do.
I read the book first when I was a teenager. I was thrilled with it, sex, violence and lots of swearing. I remember seeing it on the big screen when it first came out. I’ve seen it countless times since then on TV and VHS and later DVD.
It never gets old. Never.
It’s part of a handful of movies I can watch over and over. Most Clint Eastwood movies are like that for me.
Still one of the best. Still fresh every time you see it.
