That, my friends, is the brand spankin’, just released, DVD set of The Godfather, The Coppola Restoration Collection. And you can win it! First, let’s hear exactly what you’re going to get:
More than three decades after they won the Academy Award for Best Picture, director Francis Ford Coppola’s classic films The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II will once again be enjoyed by audiences as they originally were meant to be seen, thanks to a meticulous restoration by Paramount Pictures, overseen by Coppola himself. On September 23, 2008, both fully restored films will debut on DVD and Blu-ray, along with a newly remastered version of The Godfather Part III, to be included as part of The Godfather, The Coppola Restoration Collection. All three films will be available individually or in a five-DVD collection or four-disc Blu-ray collection, which are loaded with a host of all-new special features.
The new special features created by Kim Aubry, founder of Zoetrope Aubry Productions, explores the complexities of the restoration process and provides new insights and perspectives about how the film almost didn’t come to pass as we know it. The Masterpiece That Almost Wasn’t relates the unlikely events, intrigue, allegiances and luck that put together the unknown director with the unwanted cast and contains interviews with most of the living players and many of the films’ admirers. Other featurettes include “when the shooting stopped”, and Godfather World, which take a look at The Godfather’s influence on popular culture today. Each film includes a commentary by Coppola.

“I made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.”
Leave the guns – take the canolies. Great line. Thanks.
Great trilogy
My favorite, Godfather II
It was you Fredo. I know it was you. You broke my heart. You broke my heart.
For some reason this quote always stuck with me: “In Sicily, women are more dangerous than shotguns.” Seems even more apt now with the rise of Sarah Palin ;)
“Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes”.
the horse head in the bed
Leave the gun…take the cannoli!!!
Sorry, I can’t pick JUST one! There is the one where the Godfather says we’ll make him an offer he can’t refuse, then we see the horses head. There is the one where Michael tells the henchman that Fredo stays alive until their mom is alive. There is the scene where Sonny is murdered. I love the one where the Godfather says, ‘Lucca Brazzi sleeps with the fishes…”
Sonny: Goddamn FBI don’t respect nothin’.
How true
“It’s not personal Sonny. It’s strictly business.” It was Michael’s entry into the family business. Chilling.
When I first saw these movies, the scene with the horse’s head in the bed was exceedingly shocking (and my favorite), although nowadays in the age of gore this may not have the same effect!
Godfather I is my favorite, by far. As for a saying, thats harder, the horses head was unforgettable, make him an offer he cant refuse.
Good. Someday, and that day may never come, I’ll call upon you to do a service for me. But, until that day, accept this justice as a gift on my daughter’s wedding day.
Can you believe I haven’t seen this yet? I would love to see it!
