On occasion I will be posting movies that don't need a remake. This time around "The Godfather". With a string of movie remakes, that in most cases, don't compare to the originals, this movie first comes to mind, as never to be remade. Why? It's a masterpiece, and a work of art, that for nearly 40 years, has established a close look at the underworld of the mafioso lifestyle, and the violence that comes with it, but at the same time, some morals and types of respect that are long gone, even in today's modern mafia. Besides a look into the mob, no one, and I repeat, no one, can ever out do the excellent ensemble of actors that "The Godfather" has. Even today's most prestigious actors cannot out do the magnificent, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall, for anytype of remake in mind. No actor or actress today, has that type of caliber, as shown in this classic movie.
In fact, in forums around the internet, questions about this movie being remade are posted. Many of the replies, are that this, must never be remade, because then, it would be a travesty.......in fact, whoever dares to remake this film, will be sleeping with the fishes, wearing both the custom made cement shoes, and the infamous Sicilian necktie. How's that for an answer? This is a movie, never to be remade.
