Released in 1972, The Godfather became an instant classic from a novel wrote by Mario Puzo in the late 1960s. The musical score still remains one of the most memorable themes ever composed.
The Godfather showed a series of family related stories directed by motion picture visionary Francis Ford Coppola.
The Godfather's focus was concerning the realities of the American dream towards an Italian family.
The Godfather won three Academy Awards, Best writing, best actor for Brando, and Best Picture of 1972.
It spawned two other popular sequels.

Here's the Colony, originally built in the 30's, it was the winter home of NYers for years, now it's part of the Club scene on Miami Beach. I often think of the scene in Scarface, where Al Pacino meets with the Columbians for a drug deal, remember the chainsaw shower scene?? I think it was filmed next door. I know this neighborhood like the back of my hand.

What a crazed performance! This was one of the most controversial films of the 80s. "Scarface," a film by suspence director Brian De Palma. There had been a film previously released in the 1930s with the same title, but this updated 1983 version had only a few similarities with it.
The original 1932 movie actually was taken away for over 40 years by the director of the movie, the infamous Howard Hawks. Audiences were outraged that the film carried so much violence in its storyline. There was no movie like it then. The 1930s film had to be censored.
The brutal remake was no different. The violent-packed script was written by Oliver Stone, with a moody electronic soundtrack provided by Giorgio Moroder that caught the right atmosphere.
Al Pacino superbly made this character of Tony Montana, a man of vengence and fear a subject to talk of. The actor caused quite a stir of emotions with his wild actions on the screen. Audiences were appaled with its subject matter.
"Scarface" had in it some of the most shocking sequences ever put on theater screens at the time.
The film turned out to be quite a cimematic event when released in December of that year.
If you're conservative, well then, certainly this is not a movie made for you. Oliver Stone hit the nail with this one.
Did you know that most of it was shot in California, except the pool scene outside. That was filmed in Miami. There was a lot of negative press in Florida when word was spoken about the movie being made in Miami.

Did you know Al Pacino was busted in 1961? Police pulled over a suspicious vehicle on January 7, 1961. It was driven by 20-year-old Pacino. Two passengers and Pacino were all wearing masks--and a loaded gun was found in the car. Apparently Pacino never was convicted of anything relating to this incident.
