Intriguing as the latter-day story is between Michael/Roth/Frankie, not to mention the Kay/Fredo/Connie family aspect...in my opinion the DeNiro flashback scenes are what brought that movie to life. Without them, the film would have been dead in the water.
Which is why although I always enjoy The Saga, the last part is always somewhat of a letdown knowing there will be no flashbacks to look forward to.

A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
