The Don's backstory is handled so brilliantly it plays out like a movie within a movie, and Al Pacino's transformation from his first appearance in Part I to the ruthless head of the family in Part II is indeed an actor at his finest. I remember loving this movie more than the first one when I first saw them, and although I have developed a recent re-appreciation for the technical aspects of the first movie, this one is also a true classic.
I love this film, great pick!

Yeah I agree 100%. When I was preparing my list, I had this movie in the no.1 slot. Then I saw the draft order and I was like oh #$%! and started looking way down my list to select a movie for the 1st round. To my surprise nobody picked this movie so I couldnt pass the opportunity to draft a gem like this.
