Regrettably crossing off another item on my 26 before 26 list, #15: Watch The Godfather. I’ve never been a fan of old movies or mob stories, but I thought I couldn’t truly claim that until I saw THE old mob movie. The Godfather is at or near the top of every “see before you die” list, so I figured I’d better.
Unfortunately, I didn’t really enjoy the film. I found it insanely boring and the characters difficult to understand, both audibly and personally. I’m not sure what all the fuss is about, and now I’m pretty confident in saying mob stories just aren’t for me. I did enjoy James Caan’s horribly fake fight scene, though.

There are “old movies” that are MUCH better than The Godfather films so don’t let them turn you off completely!
Yeah I’m definitely sure there are old movies out there I would like. I don’t seem to have the attention span or patience to find them though…
You’ll have to recommend some for me!
