Movies You Must See Before You Die

6. The Godfather I & II (1972, 1974)

Director: Francis Ford Coppola

While I can name at least 5 ground breaking mafia movies, I believe The Godfather is the one you truly can’t miss out on. Not only does it star some of the greatest industry names, like Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, and Robert Duvall, but the godfather himself, portrayed by Marlon Brando, is simply superb. In fact, Brando studied the dialect and mannerisms of mob-boss Frank Costello, in order to make his character more realistic.
