Oh my gosh somebody said about the scene wher michael says "im with you now." oh my god so moving and obviously so pivotal in the movie. cant believe i forgot that one.

Been awhile since I wrote on this messageboard, but here are my takes on favorite scenes

The whole trilogy: The Godfather music and intro
GFI: Mikey saving his father at the hsopital, The murder of Sollozzo and McClusky, The beatdown of Carlo by Sonny, the Baptism and Five Families murder, and The end sequence.
GFII: When Fredo was the traitor "I knew it was you Fredo, you broke my heart!", Don Vito and the murder of Fanucci, the "forgiveness" at mama Corleone's funeral between Fredo and Mike, the death of Fredo
GFIII: St. Sebastian ceremony w/ flashback, The Atlantic City Massacre, "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.", Zasa's murder, The transfer of power from Michael to Vincent, the murder on the stairs of Cavalleria Rusticana (sic)

Those are my takes on it.

Good picks for part III, there doesnt seem to be many contenders id say my fave is

- Never again give that kind of order....not while im alive..... I run this family, right or wrong?? IT WAS NOT...WHAT I WANTED!! (great stuff)

- Mike's Diabetic attack (you deceitful old fuck!)

- Vincent and Zaza's scene

- Helicopter attack (except the stupid lucky coat bit)

- 'Zasa'

You choose the most boring ones!

The begin sequence takes too long.

The end of Godfather in the church is my favourite,when they kill verybody.

Death of Sonny

In the restaurant with The turk and mc clusky

I didnt like a lot of the violence scenes in GodFather III. It was like style over substance.

The helicopter attack, Vincent overpowering the 2 would be assasins, the end scene at the opera house when the twin bodyguards were killed !! Geez

In contrast the violence in I and II looked natural and realistic, no flashy goings on, just head over there with your weapons and kill the guy. Thats maybe how it happens in real life (not that I'd know thank goodness) and therefore what entertains me.

Mannolo - I cannot agree that those scenes were boring, a couple of scenes in part III are boring, but NOTHING in parts I and II are anything less than gripping and magnificent, especially the wedding, a great start to any movie

Oh man any scene with Sophia, I can feel my brain cells dying.She truely makes a scene boring.One of the worst is when she's taking w/ Vinnie about "The Prince of the City" and Fredo. It kills me, it really does.No emotion in her voice whatsoever.

Yeh,GF 3 is the most boring.2 is the best of the trilogy.But some scenes in GF 1 are boring,like the conersation with Vito and all the mob members like Barzini.But the most is not boring.

You gotta be kidding me? That scene is supreme, how can you say its boring, it defies any known intelligence

I thought about it and still I can't choose. I think my favorite scene the Godfather part 1 I'll go for the opening scene with Bonasera, when Luca Brasi wants to see Vito and the speech of Vito at the meeting with the heads of all the families. In the Godfather 2 it would be the scene with Young Vito and the landlord Roberto, but I also like the scene when Franky Pentangeli wants to hear the Tarantella and his meeting with Micheal and tells him he wants the Rosato brothers dead.

But when I watch the movies again, I think it will probably be other scenes again.

There are so many aren't there!
The scene where the door is closed by Neri after Michael has told here he didn't get Carlo killed is very powerful.

absolutely, the final scene of the film is definitely great

This is a very hard question but here goes:

GF1-Vito dies (so sad)-Vito has his last words with Michael-Micheal speaks to Fredo in the bosthouse (so moving)-Genco dies(deleted scene).

GF2-The senate hearings-Michael finds out it was an abortion-scenes showing Vito and his kids-Michael closes the door in Kay's face.

GF3-Michael finds out Zaza is dead-The ending sequence-Mcihael gets a stroke(so sad)-The confession.

*Trilogy*-Are you kidding me? Its like asking which one of my children I love more.

erm, you seem to have jumbled a few up there

Fredo and Mikey in the Boathouse is in GF2 and the Door being closed on Kay is in part I

II a- When Michael and Tom chat and Tom says "Kay had a miscarriage she lost the baby." "Was it a boy?" "Mikey, after 3 1/2 months..." "CAN'T YOU GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER ANYMORE?!! WAS IT A BOY??!!"

b- the Dec 1941 Flashback

c- when Anthony Rosato garrotes Frank and says "Michael Corleone says Hello!"

III -

a- When Michael says -- "Don't ever again give that kind of order not while i'm alive, understand?" Vincent says "You were too sick to make a decision, I got a go ahead from Neri, I got a go ahead from Connie.....It was the right decision, Uncle Michael." "It was the wrong decision. I command this family, right or wrong. It was not what I WANTED!"

b- When Michael is being helped after he gets the stroke and he starts screaming "FREDO! FREDO!"

c- The whole scene where Michael gives control to Vincent and Calo, Neri and that other guy start kissing Vincent's hand. and Neri calls him Don Corleone, Neri's line in that one reminded me of Part 1's scenes where various people respected Vito and they called him Don Corleone.

ok that's enough

The Godfather : Michael talking to Appollonia's father -

The Godfather II : Michael shuting door on Kay's face [this is the greatest scene]/ also De Niro conversation with Don Faucci - refusing to pay his share to him

The Godfather III: Michael's crying after his daughter shot

GF1: Hagen v. Woltz (rounds one and two), the
dumbfounded look on Woltzs face when Hagen
thanks him for the pleasant evening and
leaves is one of my favorite shots

Tessio v. Hagen "can you get me off the
hook?" I think woulda let him slide

GF2: Michael v. Kay after the senate hearings,
some of the best duo acting ever! When he
cannot control his rage and slaps her, man
that still gives me goosebumps

When Michael banishes Fredo from his
family "IM YOUR OLDER BROTHER MIKE! and i
was stepped over!" We really get to see the
inner workings of Fredo in this scene, such
a sad sad man

GF3: When Michael learns that Zasa was
executed. "It is not....what i WANTED"
what Al does with his face and body after
that line was great acting. Very powerful,
reminded me of Sonny

This is so hard...

Part 1 - scene where Michael kills Sollozzo and McKlusky. I love the entire movie, but this scene is where it shifts for me from good old days of Vito to the shrewd days of Michael. Love that scene though, probably one of the best scenes in movies ever.

Part 2 - scene where Vito stalks Fanucci from the rooftops during the parade and then kills him. I also love all the flashback scenes to young Vito, especially in Sicily where he gets his revenge.

Part 3 - the scene on the steps of the opera to the credits. That three minute time period is one of the most powerful scenes in the trilogy.

GF: Sonny beating the holy hell out of Carlo. It isn't the most artistic scene in the film, and there is an infamous "12 inch punch" in there, but Carlo, that bastard, had it coming!

Part II: When Vito gives Fanucci the $100. That grin that he gives Fanucci is absolutely chilling.

Part III: The "Silent Scream". Brings tears to my eyes everytime, partly because of great acting, partly because I'm happy I don't hafta sit through another minute of Sofia Coppola's acting.

My favorite scenes from Part II:

Ah, I see you've learned how to post pictures, Patches. Mind telling me what the second pic stands for. Is it just the transitions?

Yep, it is. I dunno why its my one of my favorites, I guess its because its dad and son...

My favourite scenes are:

GF1 - The Baptism sequence

GF2 - When Young Vito kills Fanucci

GF3 - When Vincent shoots Joey Zasa

Anthony and 'Brucia la Terra' brings a tear to my eye every time.

But my favourite from the trilogy - that's hard!

Michael's 'Silent Scream' - that's another really good one. But then there's Santino being butchered at the toll booth or Hagen kidnapped by Sollozo.

I give up.

ORGINIALLY POSTED BY ALLABOUTTHEFAMILY:
*Trilogy*-Are you kidding me? Its like asking which one of my children I love more.

FOR THE WHOLE TRILOG FORGET ABOUT IT. I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THAT. THIS QUESTION IS WAY TO HARD EVEN FOR FAVORITE SCENE IN EACH MOVIE I CAN PICK AT LEAST 3 FOR EACH ONE. ILL GET BACK TO ALL OF YOU!

GODFATHER 1--------
The scene where Fabrizzio betrays Michael and he screams No to Appolonia before she dies. (Great because he knew even his close bodyguard can betray him)
The Baptism sequence with no doubt (Handled all family business)
The scene where Kay gets shut out ( The beginning of his life as The Don Michael Corleone)

As for Godfather 2-----------
When Kay tells Michael she had an abortion
Kiss of Death scene
Settling all Family business scene (deaths of Michael's enemies, including Fredo)

And finally for the Godfather 3----
The whole entire scene of letting Anthony go, and the settling of the argument between Joey ZaZa and Vincent.
Definitely the during Anthony's performance of Brucia La Terra.
The QUIET SCREAM of MICHAEL, i dont care how bad Mary's acting is that was brilliant by Michael.

GF1 - the wedding scene, in particular where connie and vito are dancing and she throws her arms around him like a little girl...really shows why his death affected her so much..she's the epitome of daddys little girl.

GF2 - has GOT to be all the scenes with RDN in particular the "pear" scene where young vito looses his job, and the "Signore Columbo" scene...which also shows how instrumental Mama Corleone was to advancing Vito's reputation throughout the neighborhood...not just a spaghetti cooking baby maker, without her gentle influence, he'd just be known as another thug/murderer, and not the strong, family orientated, just, protector he earned respect for.

I was just about to put this myself. This isn't my favorite scene, but definately one of my favorite moments. I think it was well played out not hearing him scream & only hearing the music.
