One of the Best(!) movie series ever
Before Tony Soprano, Coppola's take on the rise and fall of mafia kingpin Michael Corleone really makes you cheer for the bad guy (granted, there are no good guys in these films). Pacino, Brando, DeNiro, Duvall and Caan are at their absolute best in this series, The digital restoration is pristine (both DVD and Bluray) and everyone involved should take a bow. "The Godfather" is to director/writer Francis Ford Coppola what "Star Wars" is to George Lucas (minus the obvious marketing opportunities). I actually discovered it rather late in life, at least 15 years after its release, and have been hooked ever since. I've purchased it in every form available including the VHS of the chronological edition (for those who aren't familiar, Part II bounces between events before and after Part I). A plus in the extras is hearing about Coppola's struggle to even get the movie made the way he wanted to and adding the influence of an Italian-American upbringing, without which this may have just been another one-shot gangster movie. It truly is a monumental creation and will be appreciated as such by anyone viewing it.

Heard Great Things
I heard great things about the Godfather. I have yet to watch these series, but I am glad to know it's one of the greatest classics out there.

Excellent Transfer of All-Time Classics
Reviewing the films themselves is unnecessary since if you haven't seen The Godfather already or at least heard about it than one review isn't going to change your mind. The real selling point of this set is the excellent transfers and the plethora of extras content. Tons of deleted scenes and inside looks at the making of this epic trilogy.
