Considered one of the best films of all time, The Godfather is a must-watch. The film follows Don Vito Corleone, the head of a powerful Italian-American crime family, as well as the don’s youngest son, Michael – who struggles to maintain a healthy relationship with his wife after reluctantly joining the Mafia.

Many call The Godfather ‘a masterpiece’ and ‘groundbreaking’; extremely apt descriptions.

Considered Quentin Tarantino’s best film, four tales of two mob hitmen, a boxer, a gangster and his wife, and a couple who hold up a diner intertwine brilliantly in Pulp Fiction. Punchy, meta and violent, Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece.
