There are some movies that each and every one of us has seen at least once. They have made a very strong impression on us and, no matter how long it has been since they were released, we would still want to watch them when we have the time. These movies are great achievements of the film industry that will never be old and boring to any of us.

The Godfather seems to be the movie leading the list of all time favorite films. It is based on the novel by Mario Puzo, called Mafia. The first part of the The Godfather trilogy pictures Don Vito Corleone, head of the Corleone crime family, struggle with the realities of an ever changing world. He falls foul of Sollozzo’s backers the Tattaglia family, because he refuses to work with drug dealer Virgil Sollozzo in an attempt to push heroin in New York.

Michael, as the son of Vito, was not involved in the family business, but still, he was close to being killed. His father Vito was wounded in this attempted assassination. Michael is sent to Sicily and returns after his brother Sonny is executed by the rival Barzini family. Michael finally gets to be the head of the family. Vito Corleone dies of a heart attack. Michael plans for the murder of the heads of the other families to take place during the baptism ceremony of his nephew. And all this in revenge for the attacks on his family. The film also presents the execution of Michael’s brother-in-law, Carlo Rizzi, whom he suspected of being involved in Sonny’s death.

The second part of The Godfather trilogy pictures the adolescent life of Don Vito Corleone in Sicily and New York during the early 20th century, explaining the way he has managed to become the Mafia Don.

Another very important movie of all times is The Shawshank Redemption, which is based on a novella written by the famous author called Steven King. The story speaks about a successful banker wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife and her lover. His name is Andy Dufresne. He is sent to the maximum security Shawshank Prison to serve two life sentences. There he meets Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, a prisoner who helps him get used to prison life.
