The Godfather
Part II
1974 ***** 200 mins.
This Academy Award-winning Best Picture lives up to its perfect predecessor. In this wonderful sequel, the stories of Vito Corleone (Robert De Niro) and his son Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) are interwoven in such a way that it is hard to look away. The cinematography is wonderful, the characters are rich in substance and portrayal, and the overall film is cinematic perfection.

Michael Corleone is Number 11 on AFI's 100 Years . . . 100 Heroes and Villains.
