The Godfather

Posted: June 12th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: Movies | No Comments »

I re-watched The Godfather last night, for the umpteenth time, and it is probably the only movie I have which gets better with each subsequent viewing.

This is the line that had me floored on this viewing:

Jack Woltz: Now you listen to me, you smooth-talking son-of-a-bitch. Let me lay it on the line for you and your boss, whoever he is: Johnny Fontane will never get that movie. I don’t care how many dago guinea wop greaseball goombahs come out of the woodwork!
Tom Hagen: I’m German-Irish.
Jack Woltz: Well, lemme tell ya something, my Kraut-Mick friend!
