Directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starring AFI Life Achievement Award honorees Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Diane Keaton, THE GODFATHER PART II (1974) also features impeccable art direction from AFI Honorary Degree recipient Dean Tavoularis. Deepening the story of the Corleone crime family, the iconic sequel appears on both the original and the anniversary edition of the American Film Institute’s chronicle of the greatest films of all time, and Pacino’s Michael Corleone earned a place among cinema’s villains, with his cynical wisdom – “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer” – ranking among the art form’s most memorable movie quotes.
