Both are great films, but the first is one great scene after another. I'm not the biggest Brando fan, but his performance is deservedly iconic. Especially the scene where he visits the undertaker.

The Conversation is Coppola's best movie.

(And I don't mean the rest of his 70s output is worse or bad, but it's a masterpiece among masterpieces)

Still never seen that. I'm assuming the 251-minute directors cut is the one to go for?

No. Leone actually supervised and approved the 229 min. cut (though under protest). The 251 min. cut is a hybrid of that cut plus surviving fragments of the 269 min. workprint.

More likely, Leone's final cut would have been somewhere in the middle. From reviews I've read, the extra footage is in absolutely horrific shape.

Reasons why Part III deserves a break:

1. It helped pay off Coppola's debts
2. It probably inspired Sophia Coppola to go into directing rather than acting.
3. The audio commentary is awesome
4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJpVyMAlPBs
