I couldn't believe it last night on TV, The Godfather versus Apocolypse Now and Ryan's Daughter on at the same time along with Catherine Tate and Jongleurs. What the hell could i do? Well seeing that I've seen The Godfather, Apocolypse and Ryan's Daughter about ten times each, I simple flicked between Catherine Tate and Jongleurs and during the adds I caught a couple of great scenes from the films. I also made a promise to not watch any of the aforementioned films until I'm fifty (seven years time) by which time hopefully I'll have forgotten most of the storyline and characters and can then enjoy them - as if for the first time. My 18 Year Old bought me the Godfather Trilogy for Christmas 2004 on DVD, I watched 1 and 2 on a business trip, but I'm saving 3 up for a rainy day! He bought me this year the Sopranos (series 1) and I'm saving that one up too!
Going back to the Godfather and Apocolypse it made me realise just how great an actor Marlon Brando was and of course how well made they both were, along with the sheer brillaince of Ryan's Daughter.
I wonder if today's new films will stand the test of time, sadly I can't see Gaymen Mounting, sorry Brokeback Mounting being in the same league.
