The Godfather - Part I (1972): Coppola managed to construct a masterpiece that perfectly depicted the Mafia lifestyle without glamorising it. The rise of the young Michael Corleone, who is slowly forced to take control of the 'family business', is a powerful and terrifying study of moral decay, political corruption and the breakdown of the family unit. Pacino gives a performance that literally sucks the audience in and slowly reveals the personal horror of the American-dream gone bad. From the opening wedding scene to a severed horse's head in a Hollywood movie-mogul's bed and exile in peasant Sicily, the arc of the film is as grand, beautiful and dramatic as an opera.

The Godfather - Part II (1975): Upon its release The Godafther: Part II was hailed as the best sequel to a movie ever made, however this film is much more than that. Coppolla utilised a quite brilliant screenplay and turned it into a visually captivating treat, as well as using his directorial skills to make the audience view the rise and demise of the ill-fated Michael Corleone as first-person participants, with masterful skill. Add to this an astounding performance by Pacino and an Oscar-winning portrayal of Vito Corleone by Robert De Niro and you quite simply have the quintessential mob movie.

The Godfather - Part III (1990): In this third film epic Corleone trilogy, Al Pacino reprises the role of powerful family leader Micheal Corleone. Now in his sixties, Micheal is dominated by two passions; freeing his family from crime and finding a suitable sucessor. That sucessor could be fiery Vincent... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hopes of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence.
