I haven't seen The Godfather in its entirety either. I finally gave in when I stumbled upon a DVD copy at Best Buy for $3.99. I couldn't get past the interminable wedding sequence near the beginning. Painfully boring. I skipped ahead to the famous "horse head" scene. Yawn. One of these days I'll try to sit through the whole thing, but I have a more pressing list of chores to accomplish. Watching The Godfather will be somewhere underneath scrubbing the toilet on that list.

I guess this is going to have to remain one of those movies I don't "get". The glimpse into the family lives and "code of honor" among mafia criminals has been done in a more entertaining fashion in many newer films, and I really don't care for the genre anyway.
