Title Card: The godfather was born Vito Andolini, in the town of Corleone in Sicily. In 1901 his father was murdered for an insult to the local Mafia chieftain. His older brother Paolo swore revenge and disappeared into the hills, leaving Vito, the only male heir, to stand with his mother at the funeral. He was nine years old.

Trivia
In his DVD commentary, Francis Ford Coppola claimed The Godfather: Part II was the first numbered sequel in film history. In actual fact, the British film Quatermass II: Enemy from Space was the first (released 17 years earlier). The Godfather Part II is the first US film sequel to use such numbering though.

The Godfather Part II (1974)
Number 1 - 1974
Top 3 - 1970s
"My father taught me many things. Keep your friends close but keep your enemies closer"
"The Godfather Part II is truly a masterpiece. Timeless, Classic, Beautiful and endlessly watchable"
The second part of Francis Ford Coppola's Epic and violent Gangster Trilogy, follows the reign of Don Michael Corleone as the head of the Corleone family. As well the film shows us the early years of Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) played flawlessly by Academy Award Winner Robert De Niro, and how he created his empire of money, gambling and respect. Beautifully directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Godfather Part II exceeds every expectation with outstanding performances from Academy Award winners Al Pacino,Diane Keaton, Robert Duvall and Robert De Niro. The second part of this unforgettable trilogy is one of the finest films ever made.
This is cinematic art. A treasure of film history. The finest sequel ever made. A faultless, flawless gripping drama; Coppola's second part of his crime saga is in my opinion one of the top 5 films of all time and perhaps towering over the first part.
"As close to perfection as movies get"
"Pacino at his best"
-10/10-
