Unquestionably one of the greatest movies of all time, The Godfather is the rare film that I can watch over and over, and it never gets old. I'm not going to say anything here that hasn't been said a thousand times before, so I won't go into too much detail about its greatness. It's really unfortunate that Cabaret, one of the best movie musicals ever made, came out in the same year, as it could not be honored in the Best Picture category. It did, however, upset The Godfather for Best Supporting Actor and Best Director. Everything about The Godfather is nearly flawless. If you haven't seen it, I'm surprised, but you should see it now.
Other nominees: Cabaret (Bob Fosse), Deliverance (John Boorman), The Emigrants (Jan Troell), and Sounder (Martin Ritt)
