Once Upon a Time in America Vs The Godfather

Everyone's seen The Godfather I guess, but it seems that not all have managed to catch the sublime Once Upon a Time in America. Please do, it's a truly great film. It's free to stream on Amazon Prime if you have that - I recommend it for this evening, then vote.

The Godfather is in a pretty exclusive club of those Films that were bettered by their sequels - it's still a stunningly good film, but it's the lesser of the 2 Godfathers in Bandoff.

I know which way I'm voting.

I'd defy anybody to watch these back to back and still thing Godfather is the better movie.

Close again but gone with Once

You forgot Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

I'm hoping that the relatively low traffic on the board this evening is evidence that boarders have been watching OUaTiA and are still transfixed by it's brilliance.

Impossible choice, both epics.

I am plumming for Once though - the best film most people haven’t seen.

"Some we give them the good life, others we give it right up the ass."

Just need 4 souls to change their mind to create an upset that we could all be proud of. Something to tell your grandchildren - you were there the day the Godfather got beaten at Bandoff.

This is the board right now:



It insits upon itself
