The Godfather: (1972)
Considered by many to be the greatest movie ever made, Francis Ford Coppola's epic masterpiece features Oscar winner Marlon Brando as the head of the Corleone family. Coppola paints a chilling portrait of a Sicilian family's rise and near fall from power in America, and the passage of rites from a father to a son who was previously uninvolved in the business.

Godfather Part II: (1974)
The Godfather Part II is one of the rare breed of cinematic sequels which is as good as, and perhaps better than, the original. Al Pacino heads the star cast as Michael Corleone, heir to the criminal empire established by his Mafioso father, the late Don Corleone.

Michael is now in charge of all gambling activities in Nevada, making certain that any and all political or mob enemies are quickly bought off, compromised, or disposed of. Throughout the film, Michael's travails are paralleled with the early experiences of his father, played in flashbacks by Robert DeNiro.

The Godfather III: (1990)
In the final instalment of the Godfather Trilogy, an aging Don Michael Corleone seeks to legitimise his crime family's interests and remove himself from the violent underworld.

Now in his sixties, Michael is dominated by two passions: freeing his family from crime, and finding a suitable successor. That successor could be fiery Vincent (Andy Garcia)... but he may also be the spark that turns Michael's hopes of business legitimacy into an inferno of mob violence.

That's been fixed since. It was on The Godfather, Part 2.

Paramount have said:

Please note: Certain units originally shipped in 2008 have the possibility of containing Godfather Part II discs that have a playability fault whereby the disc will either not load at all or will load but will not play certain chapters. It is confirmed that all stock within Paramount's Distribution Centre has been checked and is completely fault free. Going forward all customers should have every confidence when ordering this product.

Does the Coppola Restoration make any improvement over the other Blu Ray version. I saw it on Blu ray before and was quite shocked that it wasnt much better than DVD quality.

8p Cheaper at Zavvi and Thehut

As regards the quality, its prob just because its such an old movie its unfair to compare it to the picture quality of a modern movie.

Not necessarily.. movies were shot in 35mm which is about 4 to 6 times the 1080p resolution,
