Sept. 2 and 9 - The Godfather


Genre: Drama
Rating: Edited version - Probably PG13-ish?
Run Time: 170 minutes
Based on Mario Puzo's novel by the same name, Francis Ford Copolla's classic is a glimpse of the Italian mafia as the head of one family declines in age and a new Don rises to take his position. The version I'm screening is edited for content, so it's missing things like horse heads and topless Sicilians on their wedding night. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Picture and Best Screenplay. Nominated for pretty much everything else.
