Movie #76: The Godfather Part II

The Godfather Part II Date Watched:  1/1/25 Format:  Streaming on TV via Fandango at Home Directing  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Writing  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Acting  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Wildcard  (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐): Two in one.  I have always been back in forth on this one.  Does the two stories combined into one take away or add to the entire film.  In the end, I have settled on it being a positive.  Yes, it does take away some of the tension but I actually think it makes Part II as stand alone film which can be watched independent of the original.  Since I did watch Part II first as part of my goal, it has reenforced my belief. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda : Chinatown was very good and could have won many other years but not this one.  Academy got it right.  Although, they wouldn't win, I do have a special shoutout for Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Ranking: 1) Casablanca (Movie #64) 20⭐ 2) Schindler's List (Movie #36) 20⭐ 3) The Godfather Part II (Movie #76) 20⭐ 4) F...
