Confession: I’ve never seen The Godfather. I now invite you to pelt me with rotten vegetables and call me names. How can I possibly come up with a list of the greatest crime movies of all time without having first seen the Greatest Crime Movie of All Time™? Sheer audacity, that’s how. While I may have never seen what I’m told is Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpiece, I’ve seen plenty of other crime movies that are pretty darn good. Godfather good? That’s for a cinephile like you to decide. Maybe after I’ve showered off the smell of rotten cabbage and worked out all the name calling in therapy, I’ll be able to have an informed opinion, but for now I’m gonna let the trauma win and skip The Godfather entirely.
