Notes and Other Stuff.
The American Film Institute calls "The Godfather" one of the best American films ever made. It's nearly a perfect masterpiece; a finely crafted work of art that should be a part of any movie-lover's collection.
Made for a miniscule $6,000,000 (USD), the film went on to gross more than a quarter-billion.
