spinoff- flashback scene at end of godfather II

quote:

I've always preferred Goodfellas to Godfather

It is a great scene, too bad they couldnt get Brando to come back and do it, they tried.

Marlon Brando initially agreed to return for the birthday flashback sequence, but the actor, feeling mistreated by the board at Paramount, failed to show up for the single day's shooting; Coppola rewrote the scene that same day.

Goodfellas better than Godfather?

What are you talking about?


Um, no.

quote:

I've always preferred Goodfellas to Godfather, but to me the flashback scene at the dinner table is the greatest and most underrated scene in movie history.

It's not even the best scene from The Godfather franchise. The baptism scene in The Godfather may not be the most underrated, but it is the greatest scene in movie history. No other scene combines as much symbolism and cinematic genius as that scene.
