In 1972, Mario Puzo's bestselling crime novel The Godfather was brought to the big screen by Paramount Pictures and a young writer-director named Francis Ford Coppola. It became a major critical and commercial success, with the saga of the Corleone family becoming an American epic spanning two additional films. Now let's take a look back at the Oscar-winning trilogy, which makes an offer so good that moviegoers still find it impossible to refuse.
