I definitivly like Al Pacino's look when he says: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me *BACK IN*!".

All of those are great examples of wonderful acting. My best scene (and my most memorable face!) is the complete look of surprise when Jack Woltz shouts at Tom as he explains why he was running Johnny Fontane out of the business. Both actors used such emotions. Jack Woltz is absolutely surprised, thinking that Tom is going to discuss it with him further. And Tom calmly gets up, and leaves looking at him like "you really have no idea who you are dealing with" The book really does that scene justice as Tom thinks that on the surface, Jack Woltz should win this exchange.

Ha Ha!!!

Yes, that's a very genuine look! Million to one, he was thinking about Paramount and GF3! grin

How about in the first one at the church when he is being baptized, and the preist asks him, "Micheal, do you renounce satan?"
And he says he does.
"And all his works?"
"I do renounce them."

That was very important because at that time the heards 5 families were being murdered, and its the start of micheals empire, and also the start to his dis-honesty and cold heartedness.

But, without joking, this is my greatly fav too! All the scene from "Do you beleive in God, Father allmighty... " etc. As if the God himself asked him, if he was positively determined at last to go against him. And he answers "I will."

Another good look is the expression on Brando's face when he says "Look how they massacred my boy."

I think I can help you there. These sites have collections of Godfather photos that were posted in this thread:

In addition, it appears that some members have compiled their own collection of GF photos, which they have uploaded to their own personal albums on a photo publishing web site. One member has made his album public (meaning anyone can view it):

HINT: If you want to see where people got their photos in a particular thread, do this:
  1. Look for some text that immediately precedes the photo you're interested in (eg., in the first post by SC that text would be "in Sonny's killing")
  2. Choose "View Source" from your browser's menu. A separate window will open up showing the HTML code of the forum page you are viewing.
  3. In this new window (the "source"), do a search for "in Sonny's killing" (usu done by choosing Edit > Find from your browser's menu).
  4. Immediately after those words, you will see some code with the words "img src" (image source). Eg., <img src="http://photopile.com/photos/Consigliere/Family/154572.jpg". Everything in " " shows the source of that picture -- where it came from on the web.


Cheers,
Cristina

You're very welcome, Obsessed With The Godfather. Here are more sites with good Godfather pictures:

You probably know this, but I'll mention it for others who may be reading. If you want to post a picture that you see on a web site to this board, (1) obtain the picture's URL (address) by opening it in a separate window (the URL will be on the web page's address bar), then (2) copy this URL to your post, placing [img] in front of it and [/img] at the end of it.

Note: The above won't work for photos from Movieimage5 on tripod.com (above). I believe tripod has built-in protection for their images so their URL can't be used on another site. If you do use their URL, instead of seeing a picture in your post, everyone will see a tripod logo instead. To work around this, you have to save their picture(s) to your own computer, and then upload it to a web site that allows you to host photos, such as Photobucket or Village Photos . Use the photo's URL from the Photobucket or Village Photos (or similar) web site to post the photo to this board.

Another hint: If you want to see even more images from the Godfather movies, go to www.google.com or www.altavista.com and click on "Images." In the "Search" field, type in Godfather or Vito Corleone Godfather or Marlon Brando Godfather or just Vito Corleone (or whatever character or actor you're interested in). You will get a bunch of results from all over the internet showing various images from the films. wink

I love the way Tom averts his eyes from Sonny's body in the funeral parlor. Poor guy can't bear to see it; maybe he's even blaming himself (though I don't think he should). That gets me every time. frown

I like the look when bruno tattaglia gives to his henchman when luca brasi bends over to light his cigarette and the face of sollozzo after he stabs luca

The best scene in the Godfather trilogy. That scene alone should have one oscars.

Also, this is in the first film where Michael immediatly after this take says: You straightened MY brother out?!

After watching the film last night, for the first time in two years, I reckon Cazale gives the best performance out of all of the fantastic performances. Brando's a close second.

One scene, a brief moment, if you like, where all faces and gestures are spot on: when Michael introduces Fredo to Kay, at the party. "Kay, this is my brother Fredo." Fredo's drunkenness, Kay's confusion, Michael's confident embarrassment.

I also love several Vito moments: his look to the children during the Luca Brasi meeting. When he throws a peripheral look to Sonny when asking Johnny if he spends time with his family. When he asks Tom "what's that?", upon hearing the screams greeting Johnny's entrance. And, most of all, the gesture to Barzini to "hold up a minute" when he's about to challenge Tattaglia.
