I agree with the OP. Love both movies and they are among my favorites ever. Godfather II has the nice clever parallel Vito/Michael stories, but the first movie just feels more powerful and coherent to me. Among the countless classic scenes in both films I think Godfather I has my favorite overall, the Louis' restaurant scene with the crescendo of subway noise, the transition from English to Sicilian, and Michael initially reaching around the toilet flush box and not finding anything. Deniro stalking Fanucci from the rooftops of Little Italy during the parade is pretty classic too though. The Assassin's Creed games should have a mission where you do something like this with the same musical score. The original DVD release of the trilogy has commentary track on Godfather I from Francis Ford Coppolla that you should listen to, although it will spoil some of the immersion on subsequent viewings, it's interesting details about the filmmaking process. It kind of bummed me for some reason to learn that it wasn't Robert Duvall but some double walking around Woltz Studios when he first gets to Hollywood.

zVxTeflon posted:Frank Pentangeli is the best godfather character therefor GF2 > GF1 Frankie Five Angels character is worth it just for the scene between him and Tom Hagen where they talk about what would happen to Roman big wigs who plotted against the emperor and failed, and at the end of it Hagen pats him on the shoulder and says "you're going to be all right."

Vegetable posted:How did the Don catch on that it was Barzini that was pulling all the strings? He knew about this even before the Tessio betrayal. Always struck me as odd. I think the implication is that he inferred it based on how Barzini behaved at the meeting, his attitude and assertiveness. He "read" the situation as that Barzini was behind everything.
