It' s difficult enough to create a brilliant film, but to create a brilliant sequel is even more difficult. The temptation to use scenes that mirror others in the first (obviously, outstanding) film, are overwhelming. Most are guilty of this and lose their individuality.

Instead, the Godfather 2 answers most questions left open by the first and offers more insight into the life and workings of a Mafia family, in the hey day of the 'Cosa Nostra'

Both Godfather 1 and 2 belong in the top 10 of all time, some might say in the top 2.
