but otherwise everything you won't understand after seeing GFIII first, you will find out one or two movies later as if it was a murder-mystery
by the way, what did you vote yourself in your original poll?
In my excitment about making up my first poll, I forgot to vote

Thanks for the reminder.
I voted to watch it in chronological order with the deleted scenes. Of course this only works if you have around 7 hours free

Since I have, like most on the board, have seen the films countless times, I like watching in chronological order, something along the lines of a soap opera. In all honesty I do this in many sittings and not all at once, unless its a rainy Sunday after football season
I would advise someone that has never seen any of the films, to view them one by one in order of release [GFI, GFII, GF III]. I would think watching GF II, while being most enjoyable, might be a little confusing to the first time viewer.
