I recently saw The Godfather: Part II [1974] and from what I could understand I liked the film. There was two things that I couldn't uderstand in it though, please help me understand them.

A Few Favorite Films

19.09.11

A recent trip to watch “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II” prompted me to think about some of my all time favorite films. While the final “Harry Potter” was entertaining and well done, it didn’t crack my all-time list. 

Below are just a few of my favorite movies alphabetically with year released and a brief commentary or description.

They are:

“Chariots of Fire" (1981) Not just a movie about runners. This British film tackles anti-Semitism, class distinctions and examines one man’s struggle to uphold tenets of his Christian faith against tough odds. Won four Oscars, including Best Picture. Vangelis’ dynamic score makes the film a stand out.

"Chinatown" (1974) Jack Nicholson gave one of his best performances here. Set in pre-World War II Los Angeles, director Roman Polanski took viewers on a roller-coaster ride of corruption, intrigue, murder and mystery. Nicholson's work is highly complimented with similar efforts by Faye Dunaway and John Huston.
