Option 4: Once Upon a Time in America

@dancinyogi I went for the original but for me it’s a toss up with 2 (as Paulie Walnuts would say). Since they re-edited part iii to be “Coda,” it’s better than it was. Nevertheless I’m in the minority that really like part III as well. The closure is great for me, as well as the arc with the Pope John Paul I conspiracy overtones.

@dancinyogi Part II is the best but sometimes I like to watch the 7 hour chronological edit of parts I & II.

@dancinyogi I just watched I and II for the first time, and I liked II because of the history

@Subumbral Yep. That's my favorite, and that's exactly why. As far as Pt. III, in my opinion - what the heck happened? Yikes.

@dancinyogi I'll have to watch it now out of mirbid curiosity

@Subumbral Let me know if you get through the whole thing. I only did to see where it was going.

@dancinyogi @Subumbral its incredibly good. Shows up on HBO every now and again, and I don't think I've ever had seven hours of anything go down that smooch.

Structure-wise its basically:

Part I: the Vito storyline of G2
Part II: The Godfather
Part III: The Michael storyline of G2

And there's a bunch of deleted scenes in there too.

@dancinyogi II is technically a better film, but the original has all the character - and the characters 😂
