The Godfather β€” trailer

Our take

The benchmark against which other crime dramas are measured. Patient, novelistic and impeccably acted, it's a story about family and power that earns every minute of its runtime. If you've somehow never seen it, it lives up to the reputation.

Good for: Anyone serious about film, full stop.
