2. The Godfather (1972)
Directed by Francis Ford Coppola
Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall
It's Brando's performance that lifts this film above the sequel for me. It has depth and intimacy like no other film. It is visually stunning and Coppola's direction is nuanced.

Directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz
Starring Bette Davis, Anne Baxter, George Sanders
I agonized over whether to put this #1 or The Godfather. Ultimately it came down to rewatchability for me. Davis was an absolute presence. Baxter plays Eve with subtle cunning. Perfection.
