They’re doing it again. AMC cable TV is offering an 8 hour “The Godfather” immersion event on Thanksgiving , November 26, 2015. (Hey! Not everyone “streams”, ok?) Times will vary according to location.
“The Godfather” films by Francis Ford Coppola, based on the books by Mario Puzo, live on. Parts 1, (1972) and 2, (1974), re explode every 6, 12 months on some TV channel. If you don’t have 8 hours to devote to the entire saga, you could plug in whenever – meal times, in between telephone calls or text messages – and remember dialogue and revisit scenes that have soaked into our collective bones without even knowing it:
“It was never personal Michael, it was just business”
“I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.”
“I know it was you Fredo, your broke my heart!”
“Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.”
Never gets old, still 2 of the best films ever. “The Godfather” is #2 with a bullet on the American Film Institute list of 100 best movies. Parts 1 and 2 are such a neat package, a single experience. ( I never mention part 3.) Great stuff. Soooo entertaining!
