I was gifted one of those posters with scratch off windows for 100 "best ever" movies recently. A lot I'd seen once or twice before, but some are first watch for me. I've been working my way through them, taking turns with my wife to pick which one to watch next. One of the movies was The Godfather. Obviously I've seen this before, but when my wife asked for a quick synopsis, my memory couldn't recall a lot of the detail so we decided to make this our next movie night.
So I dusted off a rather sorry looking DVD box-set of the Godfather Trilogy (it might be this version) that I've probably owned for around 15 years, and settled in.
Wow. I've slept on this movie for too long. It was fantastic, we had a rare time chatting through all the details, betrayals etc. It's just gorgeous and that soundtrack!
The only thing that irked was the version we were watching was very soft, some of the voices get lost in the audio and the subtitles look like they photocopied from a fax. I suspect the DVD version we have can be bettered.
So. Our interest in the rest of the trilogy is revitalised, but before we dive into the even more forgotten second and third instalments I want to make sure we have the best versions we can get our hands on. I've heard there's potentially a 4k release in the future, but looking to source something for next weekend ideally.
Online stores seem to have contradictory or missing info about the versions they have for sale, so I need the collective minds help with sourcing. I don't mind buying individual discs, but what is the current definitive version? Is there a boxset of Blu Rays? How does the Coda version fit into all of this?
