I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#32 The Godfather Part II

1974
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Starring: Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton

I had only seen this movie once before and it seems like a million years ago.  I love the telling of the two stories.  I especially loved seeing the young life of Vito Corleone. It's funny how you find yourself rooting for the bad guy- he's becoming the head of the mafia but you want him to go back to Italy to seek revenge for his family.  Pacino and De Niro at their finest! Is it better than the first? I can't say- that's #2 on the list so I'll decide when I watch it again!




Trivia: Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro are the only two actors to win separate Oscars for playing the same character.

Up Next: The Maltese Falcon
