54 Years Later, The Godfather's Best Scene Is Still The Greatest Moment In Gangster Movie History

The Godfather remains the standard against which all gangster and mobster movies are based. This movie has so many iconic scenes that films in later years have copied and paid homage to, and there might not be a better scene than the one toward the end of the movie. The film opens with Don Vito Corleone (Marlon Brando) running his family, but by the end, Vito and his son Sonny are both dead, and Michael Corleone has taken over the family business.
