The Film Snarks: The Snark Is Reel!
The Godfather (1972) - 50th Anniversary Celebration
"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
Welcome back to another crime-heavy, bullet-riddled, legacy spanning episode of THE FILMS SNARKS!!!
Have you ever been made an offer you just couldn’t refuse? Did you ever want to succeed your powerful father in the family business?
The term ‘Godfather’ isn't just a person who agrees to act as a substitute father in the event of a child's parents' death.
It's also a term and symbol used for a mafia Don and a symbol.
But perhaps most importantly, The Godfather is the title of a 1972 film about one man, Vito Corleone, trying to retain that position of power in order for one of his sons to succeed him.
And because time itself just refuses to slow down, this month marks the 50th Anniversary of what is considered to be cinema's finest ever film... Francis Ford Coppola’s cinematic masterpiece, The Godfather!
So join us as we find out if The Godfather, at age 50, is just an outdated and overrated cinematic chore to sit through, or if it still deserves all the praise it gets half a century on!
And if it should reclaim its place at the number one spot on IMDB?!
"Leave the gun, take the cannoli."
