The Godfather Part II
174 head-to-head matchups and still no clear verdict on The Godfather Part II. 50% means the room is essentially split — a genuine coin flip every time it shows up in a bracket. The rare sequel that expanded and deepened the original rather than repeating it. Voters who choose it over its predecessor are making a specific claim about complexity over impact, and they tend to make that claim with conviction. It ranks behind the other Francis Ford Coppola film tracked here.
Synopsis
In the continuing saga of the Corleone crime family, a young Vito Corleone grows up in Sicily and in 1910s New York. In the 1950s, Michael Corleone attempts to expand the family business into Las Vegas, Hollywood and Cuba.
