Think of “The Godfather” movies, and those are just three of the classic lines you’ll remember. But if your Corleone memory is fuzzy, I have some good news for you: all three of Coppola’s crime epics are now available on iTunes for a mere $9.99 total. (By comparison, “Goodfellas” alone currently costs $14.99.)
Yes, you’re locked into the Apple ecosystem with this purchase, but at this price — just $3.33 each, and over 9 hours of total viewing time — who’s complaining? Blu-ray sets will run you closer to $25 (Barnes & Noble) or $30 (Best Buy), while digital versions cost $42 to $45 on Vudu and Amazon, respectively. At least, that’s the situation today — we may yet see more price cuts as the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales go into high gear.
And what about the much-maligned third movie, 1990’s “The Godfather Part III”? Yes, Sofia Coppola was woefully miscast. And yes, the movie suffers from the dearth of Robert Duvall. But in a post-“Phantom Menace” world, this movie may actually be better than you remember. (I’d suggest listening to Wolfpop’s The Canon podcast for a deeper dive.)
