...I think you've misread the films, and Coppola's intent. We're just gonna have to disagree on this one.
The Corleones are most definitely not the good guys. They have money, power, a certain glamour - they love their families and are nice to their dogs (not so kind to horses). They're 3 dimensional humans, but profoundly flawed. They're not monsters but they commit monstrous acts (directly or indirectly).
I'm quite familiar with gangster movies and noirs from the thirties on. Coppola chose a pulpy book of fiction and turned it into an operatic morality tale. But he didn't make the Corleones good guys. I honestly don't understand how anyone could think that after seeing the films.
