It would be hard to believe that anyone who watched The Godfather would stop at the first movie. But just in case, we have to recommend the sequel. In the film, Michael Corleone expands his power over the family business. We also get flashbacks to Vito Corleone’s time in Italy and his rise to power. The movie actually took home more Oscars than the first film, winning six including one for Robert De Niro.
