Dan Murreleone, I am honored and grateful that you have invited me to your channel on the release day of your video.
He's still alive. They hit him with seven dislikes and he's still alive.
I'm 55 years old and am a former movie critic in Canada. I've loved this film ever since I saw it over 40 years ago. I've also hosted talk shows on the radio discussing cinema and The Godfather eventually became my favourite picture of all time to this day. This is the best analysis I've seen including the stories behind it. Good work, Dan.
This is an example of a great analysis of the Godfather in many respects. You've contextualized the production, post-production, and film history. whilst expressing your love for the meticulous crafting of the story. I'm thankful you have your own channel!
this episode in particular seems like a class on movie restoration, I love it
Thank you! I try to take different approaches based on each film and I found the process of the digital restoration of The Godfather fascinating. I'm glad you enjoyed it as well!
That's why we are subscribed to Dan
“Proposition he could not turn down” got me laughing out loud, good one dan
I've been obsessing on the Godfather trilogy the past few weeks. Watched the first 2 twice each. Just incredible movies.
Everything you need to know about storytelling is in this movie. It is a masterpiece, no question.
I've never seen a more immaculate cinematography put to film than in The Godfather Part 1&2
One if my absolute favorite movies of all time.
I like to imagine Dan’s shelf resembling something like the warehouse at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark
This is an offer I cannot refuse. Thank you for this retrospective Dan. The Godfather is an American movie classic.

Did you know the scene with Brando in the office in which the cat is play fighting on the Don’s lap so naturally? The cat was placed at random in one of the 7 takes and it made it in the final piece. It really adds to the Don’s loving familial role.
I'm in awe of the work you put into this series. Each episode is so detailed, well researched, articulate and interesting.
i have seen this film so many times and i NEVER caught the Enzo the baker, son in law reference. i just thought he was a guy Vito did a favor for, but never put it together that he was the guy the beginning scene had mentioned.
"I want somebody good, I mean very, very good..." You did a great job Illuminating the personal and legacy stakes involved in working with original irreplaceable footage of a classic. Best. Leo.
I haven't seen this for decades. I'll watch it again when the 4k disc comes out
"...a proposition he could not turn down" XD
That was a great video. I really liked how Dan pointed out that Coppola used the process of restoration to get the scenes lit in the way his cinematography had original intended it to be. I got a lot of respect for the director for doing that. I also couldn't stop laughing when he made the connection to George Lucas and his restoration process for star wars.😊
Ah, yes, my favorite movie of all-time! Great episode!
My is The Godfather part 2, because is more complex, but original is more entertainment, but from art second is best movie ever made
2 is my favorite but 1 is my 3rd favorite
"... a proposition they could not turn down." I see what you did there.....
Expertly avoiding the hack reference. Bravo, good sir!
Just noticed this watching your review. The scene with Michael and Vito talking is perfectly mirrored in Godfather Part 3 when Michael is confessing to the priest. Very much a beginning and ending to his career as the Don of the family.
Oh yeah, gotta hear Dan talk on this one
I've never watched it and frankly I couldn't care less if I ever did. Until I watched this video. It's now up there at the top of my must-watch list. God damnit.
Excellent as usual, Dan. Worthy of The Godfather.
I honestly love ‘All My Movies’ so much. Whether it’s great films or shockers. Such a great dive into all the aspects of these films. Thanks Dan!
Dan: a proposition he could not turn down
Me: Gah! He almost said it
100% intentional I'm sure!
@@opcomment everything’s intentional with Dan
If I may add, another facet to John Cazale's passing was his relationship with Meryl Streep. I believe I read it in a New York Post article.
Read it a few years ago and I remember being surprised at the notion of them as a couple, but it put another perspective on the tragedy.
2:00 My favorite high school English teacher used to quiz us students on "the author's motivation." She frequently pointed out that, invariably, it was to make money, lol. Mario's got it. 4:05 I liked Carol Burnett's version, "Lovely Story" Love means never have to say 'I Love You'.
Dang this movie sounds really good...they should make a sequel to it or like a 2nd part.
It’s so old...Good luck with that
But mayyyybe not a third one. Just got a bad feeling about it.
@@Molson-xg9hs ha!
Yeah maybe set it in Sicily
Dan it makes sense that this is now on your channel!
Great episode Dan about a great movie. Plus, always enjoy a reference to “The Magnificent Ambersons”.
Love the actual FILM knowledge. I've been a fan of yours since the old Movie Fights like 4 or 5 years ago, I wouldn't watch a Sceeen Junkies video unless you were involved lol. Keep up the great work, you deserve more subs than you currently have
@Dan If you want to talk about Godfather Part III, pls do only with Godfather Coda, it’s a better film than the original Part III.
Great video Dan! I haven't watched the Godfather properly
But this was a very informative and interesting video. Especially the last bit about the film's cinematography and restoration of film.
Have you ever seen "The Godfather:The Complete Epic" where Godfather 1&2 are put into chronological order with over an hour of additional footage? I used to own this huge VHS box set of it but when VCRs went the way of the Dodo I made the mistake of selling it. The booklet in the set was really good. I like The Complete Epic but I think Godfather 2 works better the way it is with juxtaposing Don Vito's rise and what appears to be Michael's fall. Cazale is so under-rated. The scenes that always gets me are both in Godfather 2- First-"I know it was you Fredo. You broke my heart" The look of dawning fear and horror in his eyes and running from Michael and then Michael and Fredo talking and the hurt when Michael says "You're nothing to me Fredo. You're not a brother. You're not a friend" Understated and powerful. When I was kid I scoffed at these movies because I thought things like The Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno should win. As an teen and adult I loved this movie from the first time I actually sat down to watch it. A double-feature of Godfather 1 and 2 in 1976. Changed my relationship with movies forever.
I was looking forward to your thoughts on this one. The Godfather and Part II are by far my favorite films of all time. It's pretty hard for a film to improve upon the novel it's based on, and the Godfather did
Dan, old friend..
You put forth the best reviews and breakdown of film. I learn so much and it ignites my filmmaking soul. Thank you.
This was fabulous (as usual), Dan. One of my favorite movies, and, obviously one of the greatest movies ever made. Great research!
I've never watched this movie but I'm listenin'
It's an incredible film
It's finally here, this week was supposed to be Departed but thanks a lot for doing this now. I have seen both the restored version and original version, but that was nice to see someone going in depth about it
Wow loved this video! Keep it up!
Getting close to that 100k subs bro, keep up the good work!
Thank you for this video, Dan.
Loved this!
This is absolutely fascinating review.
Brilliant. 🙌
This is wonderful content. Thank you Dan.
I am SO EXCITED to watch this in five hours.
Absolutely enjoyed that look into my favourite film of all time 🙂
These videos really are essential viewing. Excellent work, Dan
Dan you r great , from a long time fan from HK
Awesome work Dan
Those film lists are stupid. This should be number 1 on every single list.
The Godfather is the greatest movie ever made. Such a joy to watch this video and learn even more. Loved it.
Would love to see you on The Critical Drinker's Happy Hour show and discussing a movie. Would be great to see.
Sorry, but I think Vertigo is better.
Amazing breakdown!
Incredible episode
Fascinating info! I really enjoyed your story about color-grading and how careful people have to be with those negatives.
24:25 You're very observant. The sacred AND the propane.
Simply the BEST
Excited to see this but when I think of Dan's movies, Jaws is top of the list 🦈
Taking a page from Honest Trailer Commentary by teasing next weeks episode with a clue! Me likes
My guess: ‘Silence of the Lambs’
please do Apocalypse Now. !!!!!!
PLEASE!!!!
3:02 2020: Hold my beer!
You got to read the book, great & very in depth. However movie is better but both are great. Also Coppola made subtle differences that paid off
godfather is the way the mafia wants to look like, goodfellas is the way they actually look like
This one is my All Time Favorite, thanks Dan!
What can I say, Dan said it all ;-) One if the best movies of all time!
i love this episode, one other thing this money met the beginning of the multiplex,created by Nat Taylor.,allowing movies to have longer legs. It opened in Toronto at the Imperial Six the new flagship theatre of the then Famous Players soon to be Cineplex.
It started in the big room and kept moving to smaller and smaller theatres. It allowed industry to comeback from almost bankruptcy.
Dan, you almost make me want to watch the movie.
Can you do Goodfellas next?
For the last couple of weeks they have being giving them on Showtime all 3 of them and I have watch every time and like you I just realized the same thing about the baker a couple of days ago that he was the same guy they where talking on the beginning of the movie and for the people that are calling the Snyder cut a masterpiece pay attention to a real masterpiece a set of movies that are close to 50 years all and they still are amazing people every year tell me in 50 years if people would still give a damn about the Snyder cut cause I'll doubt it
Do you have The Outsiders too? That is another great FFC movie
Ooo boy
It was a Baptism Dan. 1st Communion is in the 2nd grade. 😋
Dan have you ever thought about how fast they got to the horse near the beginning of the movie
Hey Dan. Is movie fights just dead? Any chance it’ll come back?
Sadly, not a question for me. I'd love to see the show again and get a chance to defend my belt!
@@DanMurrellMovies my favorit movie of all time and jaws too
💵 here, here, take this! God Bless!
I am from India and i really loved and enjoyed your commentary on the Godfather. For me however, I saw the movie once when i was like 20 because of the hype around it, but i wasn't immensely impressed by it. Maybe it is a taste, culture thing. The movie didn't excite or engage me like parasite, vertigo or interstellar did. But let me give the movie another go.
Can you do Midnight Cowboy next
Aw you've got mail
the greatest movie of all time
8:47 Um, actually, he was lost in a LAKE
Was this restoration thing the reason why Lucas Remastered Star Wars?
So going to movies is in danger, sounds like where going through that again
When did the Oscars start and when was Chaplin's hay-day?
Eh cumpari, ci vo sunari?
Pacino boycotting the Oscars caused him winning best actor for The Godfather part 2
He didn't win Best Actor for Godfather 2. He was nominated but Art Carney won for Harry And Tonto. Pacino didn't win an Oscar until Scent Of A Woman.
@@JohnMC61 exactly, I said people were so mad about him boycotting original Godfather that there was no way they were gonna give him the best actor oscar he deserved for part 2. Biggest snub ever in my opinion
Regarding digital color grading/timing, are you sure The Coen Brothers were first? I'm pretty sure I remember a featurette where David Fincher showed the color grading on Se7en (1995).
Films have used color grading/timing for decades - O Brother Where Art Thou was the first film to use DI (digital intermediate) color grading for the entire film. Almost every film now goes through the DI process.
@@DanMurrellMovies Yeah, I get that color grading in general. There was a special feature on Se7en DVD and probably still the Blu-ray where they were doing dynamic digital color correction on the scene at the end of the movie, but maybe that was either 1) demonstration purposes and not used at release or 2) wasn't used for the whole film and therefore not a full DI. Thanks for the clarification!
Could you do Gladiator next week please
The Godfather best movie ever, wait second even better best movie ever made The Godfather part 2, The Godfather part 3 Copolla you broke my heart, you broke my heart 😡
Godfather 2 is superior in my eyes, too.
Do you think the Godfather was the best movie of the 70s besides Jaws?
I think it's a very tight race between several movies including those two, Network, The Godfather Part II, Chinatown, and more.
@@DanMurrellMovies Hey I try before I have another question I always wanted to ask you. The question is what is your favorite period in movies.
A. The 70s where the director was king
B. 80s where movies were fun/over-the-top
C. 90s where indie movies dominated
@@DanMurrellMovies looks like I should really watch CHINATOWN
Also, I would love to see an American Beauty episode
"I'm not going super deep into the making of ..." You spent 30 minutes on the making of "The Godfather". I'd rather hear about why you think "The Godfather" is an important movie instead of hearing the same old stories of how the movie was made.
Only stupid peoples will sad that The Godfather is better than The Godfather part 2, because stupid peoples dont understand The Godfather part 2 because The Godfather part 2 is far more complex and hard to follow, but this 2 movies are my best movies ever
I also prefer Godfather 2. Thanks to Don Corleone’s backstory (brought to life superbly by Robert De Niro), it resonated more with me on an emotional level than the first feature.
