Secure in the pantheon of the greatest American films of all time, THE GODFATHER (1972) earned its place across five of the American Film Institute’s lists – first appearing at #3 on the original list of cinema’s greatest screen stories and moving into the #2 slot for the 10th anniversary edition. The iconic family saga is also immortalized among the art form’s greatest thrills, film scores and movie quotes – “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” – and is the #1 ranked gangster film of all time in AFI’s 10 TOP 10. The definitive crime saga also features indelible performances from Al Pacino and Diane Keaton, both recipients of the AFI Life Achievement Award.
