    Okay all, I've noticed many of you didn't like the Godfather 3 and I was wondering why. I know it wasn't old school like the other 2 but I personally liked it alot. I think Pacino was great in this movie. Funny to think that someone could have that much influence on the Catholic Church.

    As a stand alone movie, it's not the pile of crap that most think it is, but when compared to the first 2, it doesn't even compare.

    Plus, most of the acting was putrid.

    I agree with it not comparing to the other 2. My main gripe was that Robert Duvall wasn't in it. No one could replace his character of Tom Haagen.

    I still thought it was a great movie tho. I'm just a huge fan of most anything with Pacino in it (except for 88 minutes).

    Absolutely!! I asked about this almost a year ago on here when I started watching parts of it when I had the flu (odd what I remember sometimes), and I still to this day haven't made it through the whole thing (only catch it on HBO, Starz, etc). What I have seen is awesome. Excellent cinematography, and it's not a glorified western.

    Some of mine in no particular order:

    Shawshank Redemption
    Tombstone
    3:10 to Yuma
    The Ghost and the Darkness
    Dumb and Dumber
    Super Troopers
    A River Runs Through It
    Legends of the Fall
    Saving Private Ryan
    Top Gun
    The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (From what I've seen;))
    Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    Gladiator
    Tommy Boy
    The Boondock Saints
    Field of Dreams
    Major League
    Taken -AWESOME.

    I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

    Full Metal Jacket.

    Although it was a great movie. It lost some appeal when I found out how real it was... lol.

    Best time of my life. Worst time of my life.

    The shootout scene in this movie is simply awesome, as is the armed truck heist.

    That's mine. I saw it for the first time my senior year in HS. I wanted to move west and live in the mountains. I did for 2 years then it was back to reality.
