Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Starring Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro, John Cazale, Talia Shire, Lee Strasberg, Michael V. Gazzo, G.D. Spradlin, Richard Bright, Gastone Moschin, Tom Rosqui, Bruno Kirby, Frank Sivero, Morgana King, Marianna Hill, Leopoldo Trieste, Dominic Chianese, Amerigo Tot, Troy Donahue, Joe Spinell, James Caan, Abe Vigoda, Tere Livrano, Gianni Russo, Maria Carta, Oreste Baldini, Giuseppe Sillato, Mario Cotone, James Gounaris, Harry Dean Stanton, Carmine Caridi, and Danny Aiello
One of the best sequels ever made, The Godfather Part II expands on the original by telling the stories that precede and follow that Oscar-winning classic. Pacino and De Niro, in the first film in which they both appear, excel as Michael Corleone, the ruthless mob boss, and his father Vito as he was rising to the top of the American Mafia decades earlier, respectively. Coppola manages to avoid just repeating things from the original, like most sequels tend to do, and progresses the story from his previous success. No sequel would repeat the Oscar success of this film until The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in 2003.
Other nominees: Chinatown (Roman Polanski), The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola), Lenny (Bob Fosse), and The Towering Inferno (John Guillermin and Irwin S. Allen)
