Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Isn't this covered by the "Movies you should see but probably didn't" thread? Now we do still need a "Movies you think you might have seen but can't remember" thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I read the book before I saw the movie as an early teen. The book is MUCH trashier and the movie definitely elevated it but also didn't shake off all of that airport novel vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 1 minute ago, woj said: You can say that again. I doubt The Godfather would have had the staying power it has if it kept the subplot of rebuilding the box of Johnny Fontaine's girlfriend. It's amazing how much of that book was about Sonny Corleone's freakishly gigantic member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,646 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I read Puzo’s book and saw the original Godfather, and honestly I preferred the book, as obnoxious as it was. The movie was a such a bore to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstrox 6,646 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I was maybe 17 at the time, which is half a lifetime ago now. I fully intend to rewatch it someday, and if I like it, maybe I’ll give the sequels another shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 To many to name or care about. On a side note, I saw both Godfather films when I was 13 or 14, and I couldn’t turn them off. I was totally engrossed, especially the second film. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,388 Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Not a big fan of musicals here too (at least the live action ones, lol). So, I've never seen either classic stuff like West Side Story, or the more recent ones, like Les Miserables or Greatest Showman. But I did watch La La Land, because on that time I was an Oscar buff and wanted to see if the movie was the masterpiece everyone was talking about (it was not). There's a classic movie that I'll probably never watch, though: Pasolini's Saló. I'm not a fan of this sort of extreme cinema (though I like the French movie Martyrs), and seeing teenagers being sexually abused and literally eating shit for two hours simply isn't my cup of tea.
