But where should I go from there because The Family Corleone takes place before the Godfather, The Sicilian takes place during the Godfather, and Returns takes place immediately after the Godfather and Revenge takes place after Returns. So I am a bit confused on how it will work chronologically. I do love the movies also by the way and watch them (excluding III of course) whenever I get the free time.

"Experience must be our only guide; reason may mislead us." "Instagram is Twitter for people who can't read."
