i've got the godfather series, scarface, casino, goodfellas on dvds... i have to say casino is up there with godfather 2

casino is just goodfellas with more money thrown at it. Its good, but not comparable to the godfather movies imo.

werd to the lotr movies not being in the top 100 too.

its uncanny how similar these two movies are. pesci reprising his role as the much-loved, short-tempered misfit. actually thinking about it now, its hard for me to even seperate certain scenes...

yeh watch it phil! apocalyspe now is a trip, you come out of it feeling somewhat disorientated. but not disorientated enough to escape death.

Apocalypse Now is an absolutely brilliant film, I don't know of any war film that has a more arresting battle scene than those helicopters swooping out of the dawn with Wagner booming...

havn't seen any of the Godfather series yet 8)

in the movie thread in the COR everyone was raving about scarface, i hired it, was not bad (just not that good :P )

agree that apocalypse now is absolutely brilliant, best war movie ever

full metal jacket can't even compare (and i'm a huge kubrick fan)

Godfather 2 is a masterpiece. Godfather 1 is also good but Part 2 has de niro who plays a good role as the young andolini. part 3 is okay. it kind of dissapointed me though, however the ending is superb and keeps that touch coppola is good at.

scarface is king for me! Especially when we have a ritual of watching it every night after a club and falling asleep during the best bits...hehe...freakish fan I's is.

Haven't seen Godfather part 2, only part 1, 3 not gonna bother, they reckon its a waste!

I agree with the statement directly above me.

War movies kick ass! Saving Private Ryan, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket etc etc are masterpieces. I would have to say that my favourite movies are probably either war movies or gangster movies.

Oh yeah, i forgot about Bridge Over the River Kwai. That is an absolute classic, even after all these years.
