Watch The Godfather Movie Online Streaming No Downloading Popularly viewed as one of the best American films ever made, the multi-generational crime saga The Godfather is a touchstone of cinema: one of the most widely imitated, quoted, and lampooned movies of all time. Marlon Brando and Al Pacino star as Vito Corleone and his youngest son, Michael, respectively. It is the late 1940s in New York and Corleone is, in the parlance of organized crime, a "godfather" or "don," the head of a Mafia family. Michael, a free thinker who defied his father by enlisting in the Marines to fight in World War II, has returned a captain and a war hero. Having long ago rejected the family business, Michael shows up at the wedding of his sister, Connie (Talia Shire), with his non-Italian girlfriend, Kay (Diane Keaton), who learns for the first time about the family "business." A few months later at Christmas time, the don barely survives being shot by gunmen in the employ of a drug-trafficking rival whose request for aid from the Corleones' political connections was rejected. After saving his father from a second assassination attempt, Michael persuades his hotheaded eldest brother, Sonny (James Caan), and family advisors Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) and Sal Tessio (Abe Vigoda) that he should be the one to exact revenge on the men responsible. After murdering a corrupt police captain and the drug trafficker, Michael hides out in Sicily while a gang war erupts at home. Falling in love with a local girl, Michael marries her, but she is later slain by Corleone enemies in an attempt on Michael's life. Sonny is also butchered, having been betrayed by Connie's husband. As Michael returns home and convinces Kay to marry him, his father recovers and makes peace with his rivals, realizing that another powerful don was pulling the strings behind the narcotics endeavor that began the gang warfare. Once Michael has been groomed as the new don, he leads the family to a new era of prosperity, then launches a campaign of murderous revenge against those who once tried to wipe out the Corleones, consolidating his family's power and completing his own moral downfall. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and winning for Best Picture, Best Actor (Marlon Brando), and Best Adapted Screenplay, The Godfather was followed by a pair of sequels. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi Release Date The Godfather Mar 24, 1972 Wide

Review For The Godfather
To permit us a glimpse at The Mob, with all of its ethnic insularity, is like giving a chronic gambler a chance to wander above the false mirrors that overlook every casino. Gene Siskel-Chicago Tribune Brando's triumph and fascination is less that of an actor of parts than of a star galaxy of myths. Andrew Sarris-Village Voice Brando made Don Vito something we rarely see in movies: a tragicomic villain-hero, a vulnerable hood. Michael Wilmington-Chicago Tribune In its blending of new depth with an old genre, it becomes that rarity, a mass entertainment that is also great movie art. Jay Cocks-TIME Magazine As filmmaking and storytelling, 'The Godfather' remains a bravura piece of work, its set pieces, dialogue and performances entrenched cinematic icons. Ben Walters-Time Out There are volumes that could be written -- and have been -- about the movie's uniformly powerful performances; its precedent-setting editing by William Reynolds and Peter Zinner; Nino Rota's haunting score; and Dean Tavoularis's evocative set design. Desson Thomson-Washington Post It's hard to find a moment in the film that isn't great. The Godfather lives up to the term masterpiece. Hank Sartin-Time Out Chicago A defining film in the history of cinema, The Godfather introduced a legendary filmmaker and several acting greats in the telling of an Italian American dynasty undone by the tragic circumstances of their criminal exploits. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews This compeling movie of mafia and family life is superb in every department, writing, acting, directing, a highlight of Coppola's career as well as of New American Cinema. Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com Traces the arc of this doomed idealism with a beauty that is still fresh. F.X. Feeney-L.A. Weekly Terrific performances and the perfect brooding atmosphere make it a truly outstanding work. -Sky Movies The Godfather films remain so powerful, so ubiquitous, because in the Corleones we see the American Dream -- and in turn, ourselves. Rumsey Taylor-Not Coming to a Theater Near You The classic tale of a Mafia family. Not for kids. Elliot Panek-Common Sense Media With all due respect to this 1972 classic, Vizzini was right: Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line. Kevin A. Ranson-MovieCrypt.com A measured, deathly serious epic. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The greatest gangster film ever made. -Total Film Like a favored method of Mafia influence, "The Godfather" is an offer no audience can refuse. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com With the themes of family and loyalty, this film is a must see for any movie fan. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures Coppola offers a rich and layered look at family and does so with an incredible cast and a meticulous amount of detail. Ryan Cracknell-Movie Views The Godfather tells a uniquely personal story that places it in a league of its own. (Blu-ray Edition) John J. Puccio-Movie Metropolis
