The 15 best movie trilogies to watch
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather: Part II (1974)
The Godfather: Part III (1990)
Director: Francis Ford Coppola
Well, two out of three ain't bad, especially when the first two movies are among the greatest ever made. Francis Ford Coppola's multigenerational Mafia saga redefined the American gangster epic, and every crime movie since – if not every movie, period – lives in its shadow. That includes the third film, which had little hope of measuring up. Still, it isn't quite as bad as reputation holds, and it finishes the story with the tragic denouement Al Pacino's Michael Corleone always had coming to him.
