  I mean if ever a film wasn't about the resolution of the image...

      not my favorite genre but the first two are two of the greatest of all American films. Number three is a mess.

      You can make the argument that people won't care about the restored versions or the 1080p transfers (we'll see), but people do care about this movie. A lot. Aside from getting the picture quality into the 21st century, there will be much material and commentary from Coppola.

          They deal with politics of crime, i.e., honor and loyalty among thieves, as well as exploring family and sociological issues. If you can't appreciate the first two Godfather films on some level, you're missing out on much of what cinema is all about.

      I mean yes, of course, some people will want them to have the latest and greatest but I'd be shocked if they were a huge seller.

        Though I might change my tune with my next viewing of the DVD boxset.

      The movies will be available individually on DVD as well as the box set.
      Amazon has the DVD set as a preorder for $63 and the individuals at $15. They don't have the BDs listed yet. I would guess the set will go for about $100 at Amazon.

  I just have a real problem with the Mafia and how they hide behind Catholicism. Though, admittidly, Catholic leadership have taken a lower road if anything, lower than the Mafia with all their Church sponsered child raping.
