I watched The Godfather Part II first then The Godfather then Part III because that was the order that they were checked in/out of the library. I was a little confused during Part II but after seeing The Godfather it made a more complete story, and Part III of course was seperated. But I enjoyed The Godfather better than my first viewing of Part II becuase it was difficult for me to follow the storyline with Michael but after repeated viewings I like both about the same
