Movie of the Day: "The Godfather" (1972)

So, okay, I grant you this seems like the most obvious choice in the world for Father's Day, but sometimes those really are the best. Vito Corleone is our last movie dad, played by the one and only Marlon Brando of course, and what is there to say about him? He takes care of his family, that's what. He does whatever it takes for the family, because what other reason is there to do anything? I mean, if there's any movie father who's all about "the family" it's this guy. The movie kind of belongs to Al Pacino's Michael, who shapes up to take over his dad's place as mafia don, but Vito is where it's at, guys. He's irreplaceable, because he's the one who started it all in the first place. When it comes to movie dads, I have to place him number one, or else I'd be likely to end up sleeping with the fishes, right?

Original Trailer (yes, this is real- apparently advertizing for an epic crime saga in the 70's meant showing simply a slideshow for the film in order for people to take it really seriously):
