I look at GFI & GFII as one big, fantastic 6 1/2 hour epic. They're two separate films only in title, for me. THats how i feel.

It's a close call, but I picked GF1. Vito, Sonny, Clemenza.....their absences in GF2 are missed. I like Michael's tranformation from nice college boy, seen in flash back scene frolicking like a school boy with Kay in the hotel room, to the ruthless killer at the end. Just look at Michael's expressions from the beginning, to the end where he coldly walks off with an expressionless face after having Carlo whacked.

What about Godfather III? That's like the Fredo of your children. You love it because it's one of your own even though deep down you know what it lacks compared to the others. But there's something that you still love about it. Well said. One of the great lines in GF I is haw pathetically Fredo tells Vito "I'm gonna learn the casino business," and how Vito isnt really paying any attention because he wants to get Tom's briefing on the business and to find out where Michael is.
"Io sono stanco, sono imbigliato, and I wan't everyone here to know, there ain't gonna be no trouble from me..Don Corleone..Cicc' a port!"

I love GF1 the most and GF3 the least. But all the music is my favorite.

I cannot answer this. It is like asking which of your children do you like the most. Exactly DT.

I cannot answer this. It is like asking which of your children do you like the most. Well put Dontomasso. That's exactly how I feel. I love all my children equally, but there are a couple of them that I'd much rather be around than the others. GFI by a wide margin because, as some have posted above, it's an original with all the dignity and class of an original. GFII is probably the best sequel ever made. But it must be viewed as a different animal from I. I too love the flashback scene, it's moodiness, the depth of iits character development. But GFI is it for me.
