I dunno rico, to me the original one shall remain... well, original, with that feel you simply can't repeat. Like your first real love. To me that also was special affair, as I could not see it for several years when it came out, but read aplenty about it, to make my appetite bothersome. I thinks I saw it for the first time in 1979, when I came here.The part II has that strong derivative scent, that I always find objectionable, and to mee it frankly feels almost unnecessary. Many things should better be left untouched, like the original film in that case.
Inspite of the problem that tin pointed out, it is a near-great fiml. And add to all those elements already mentioned the incredible Nino Rota score, and it is something you will carry with you for the rest of your life. But part II I thought added nothing to this strong sensation, just used it.
