The DVD of the godfather 1 and 2 had very poor picture quality. The Blu ray version is not much better. Hardly worth the extra money. There are so many good transfers of 70s and even earlier films to blu ray so I cannot see why the picture quality of this film(s) is so poor. I think we need to go back to the original master and start a massive restoration job!
I did not see godfather 3 so cannot make any comment on it.

There is a very good reason why many of the scenes in the redux did not make it into the original film. That is because all of the additional material in this version is irrelevant and simply draws out the story unnecessarily. The original is definitely a five star movie so buy that version not this.

Elia Kazan's adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' translates beautifully to the screen in this 1951 film version. Anchored primarily by screen giants Vivien Leigh (Blanche DuBois) and Marlon Brando (Stanley Kowalski), the film tells the story of a faded Southern Belle (Blanche) and her struggle to come to terms with her own existence in an increasingly faded world, and illustrates the dramatic conflict between Blanche and her brother-in-law Stanley, played by the sensual Brando.
Having directed the play just years earlier on the Broadway stage, Kazan was keen to put his own mark on this film translation, where there is an overwhelming sense of the steamy South, encapsulated and enclosed, literally, within the walls of ... Read More:

I was not even born when the first installment of Godfather came out in the theatres. But I always heard about it from all my elder family members, who had the chance to see the movie in the seventies. They always admired about it and its sequel that went into theaters in 1974. This June, when the Godfather trilogy box set came out, all the stories which I used to hear from other people came across my mind, and I immediately bought the Godfather trilogy box set, containing all three movies and two bonus discs covering the special features.
When I started watching the trilogy from part 1, it gripped me right from the beginning till the end. Director, Francis Ford Coppola dealt so many characters, beautifully, without hampering the pace of the movie. Apart from ... Read More:

I bought the DVD 'Candy' for a friend of mine who loves films of that era. I managed to find the time to watch it before handing it over to him. Although it definitely is not a great film, I loved watching it because it reminds those of us over 50 that life was good in the past. The film contains all of those things that are now considered politically incorrect and we, all of us, are poorer for it. The film contains a rape scene, up-skirting shots, unprofessional behaviour from the medical profession and truly humourous lines and scenes that left me rollicking in laughter. The only reason that I am writing this review is to give due credit to Ewa Aulin, without whom the film would not have been as good. She did not even get a mention on the cover. Yes, the sixties and freedom of expression ... Read More:

"On the Waterfront" - Elia Kazan's third artistic collaboration with Method giant Marlon Brando - emerged from the twentieth-century as one of the era's landmark films. As with "A Streetcar Named Desire" (1951) and "Viva Zapata!" (1953), Kazan offered audiences cinematic realism on a level unseen on the American screen. "On the Waterfront", in particular, presented post-war American audiences with a gritty, uncomprising look at union corruption on the docks of Hoboken, New Jersey, loosely basing itself on real-life events and politics of the 1950s.
The film centres around Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando), an ex-boxer who runs various errands for Johnny Friendly (Lee J. Cobb), the crooked boss of the docker's union. Terry's brother, Charley the Gent (Rod Steiger), is a member of Johnny's ... Read More:

"Last Tango" is a demonstration of how a good director and one great performance do not a masterpiece make. On paper it looks promising: a film about casual sex as emotional recovery, when a middle-aged American man, Paul, (Brando) embarks on a mindless animalistic fling with a pretty student, Jeanne (Maria Scheider) who, for reasons which are never entirely clear, melts into his arms at their first encounter, as two prospective tenants looking over a flat to rent. Eventually his numbed emotions thaw, he falls in love, she rejects him. When he won't take No for an answer, she kills him.
Yes, Brando is stunning. As an actor he was always pushing at the boundaries of what was possible, and here his physical disgust and self-loathing is painfully credible. But Brando is acting in a vacuum, he ... Read More:

As a huge Johnny Depp fan, I was so excited about the prospect of seeing this film but frankly was very very disappointed. Johnny was just not in it enough and it was fluffy, lame and rather stomach churning in the level of saccharine involved.
Johnny has proved himself capable of so much (The Libertine, Ed Wood) but this just is not in the same league.
Marlon Brando is as wooden as ever and the ending - oh pulease.
If you're a fan, spend your money on one of Depps' many masterpieces rather than this purile tripe.
