I think for me it's the baptism...the bouncing back and forth between the ceremony and the murders. I just find it very intense. I'm pretty pleased I stumbled upon all this too. They seem like a crazy bunch but in a good way.  Kinda nice to find other people that lean towards being obsessive. LOL

I like the scene when the camera drew slowly close to Micheal while he was plotting the plan to kill M/S. You can see how cold he suddenly became. A new Don was already born. King Athur!

Michael sitting in the chair and calmly taking over the meeting, and in effect the future of the family as he convinces Sonny, Tom, Tessio, and Clemenza that Sollozzo must die, how and why they can get away with kiling McCluskey, that it is business, not personal, and that he is the logical one to do the killing.

Yes, that scene is especially poignant and impactful. As the camera slowly draws closer to Michael, one can almost see the change in him from the college kid to a murderer. I think it symbolizes that those kind of chamges in our lives do come about slowly like the movement of the hands of a clock. Speaking of which, ever notice how Mike whenever he sits down immediately crosses his legs....

Do you mean when he looks her up and down? With him, to me, it was the look in her face, that seemed to show some hope, and his making a movement toward her. At first it appeared that he was going to talk to her and possibly ask her back in for glass of wine  , but as it turns out, he was just moving toward the door to close it in her face. Also a nice touch that he just calmly closes the door.

I didn't see any emotion in his face at all! He was totally cold and couldn't even be bothered to tell her to get lost and stay lost. Correct, but when I first viewed the scene, and saw him make a move toward her, for a very quick millisecond, I sort of thought there was going to be some dialogue between them, and the closing of the door was so dramatic. It was in line with the "Fredo you are nothing to me" speech in the boathouse, but done silently.

Tough question, because of the many Impactful Scenes. One that I feel is most important is the hospital scene when Mike goes to visit his father, and finds all the guards gone. LOL. All the guards, and all the patients, too. That hospital was right out of Halloween II. Most impactful scene: my favorite is when Michael deals with Carlo. After the baptism, they're all exiting the church. Rocco appears and whispers something into Michael's ear. Michael then stares ahead at nothing for a second, then just his eyes shift over to Carlo. FFW to the scene when Michael and his entourage enter Carlo's home, and Michael walks towards the camera and says, "You have to answer for Santino, Carlo."

Sonny's death, without it, Michael never takes over. It does make me wonder though... Michael saw Sonny in action as the acting Don... he was concerned.... he saw that Sonny was a bad Don as Vito said later. Could there have been a sibling battle over Donship at some point if Sonny lived and constantly did things wrong and ran the family in the ground... so to speak...

There are so many....
a few of my "impact" scenes are:
"WHO HAD PENTANGELI KILLED" "WHO GAVE THE ORDER... I KNOW I DIDNT"
When Roth keeps asking for $2 million "I just want to wait"
"I will see my sister alone" "I dont know this Merle... I dont know what he lives on..."

I don't think Michael ever thought Santino a bad Don, per se. I never really thought Michael was concerned about the fate of the Family...after all, his brother managed to get Michael out of the country and out of harm's way (the tragedy that befell Michael in Sicily only occurred after Santino's demise). Santino may or may not have been able to "get Sollozzo" without getting the Cop, but Michael figured it out first (in the book, the narrative said that Santino's biggest mistake was sending Michael to kill Sollozzo and McCluskey). Santino was no diplomat, and in that kind of occupation, you need to be. Michael was, as was his father before him.

If you watch Michael watching Sonny(and Tom) in action... to me he is observing a man... acting as Don as a "rudderless ship"(someone else's descriptor of Sonny's donship on this board) I think Michael became VERY "concerned" when he tells Sonny "he's my father too, I want to stay" at the Tom and Sonny meeting.
