The Godfather: 1901 - 1959 - The Epic [VHS] [1972]

Wow godlike collection.

I don't need to say anything about the films - I and II are masterpieces and you probably don't even need to worry about watching III. The packaging is beautiful, the extra material in the box is great (especially the annotated script which has so much interesting information if you can decipher the handwriting!) and the films have never looked or sounded better. Extremely happy to have this in my collection. You may need to bear in mind that the box is a little larger than expected and so finding a place for it on standard shelves may be difficult. Hardly a massive issue though, it stands out on my shelf of limited/collector edition shelf as a beautifully packaged piece, and it's often a talking point for fellow movie-lovers when they visit.

The Godfather Trilogy is one of the finest to have come out of Hollywood in the 20th Century.The previous release on Blu-Ray was a special moment and mostly it lived up to expectationswith a solid transfer and some new extras but this product is the same safe for some postcardsand a poster!Not worth the hike in RRP, considering I bought the Trilogy on Blu-Ray for £14.99 previously andat most it retailed around the £30 mark.5 Stars for the films (maybe 3 for the third) but 1 star for this product...

Great price and nice packaging, but going through a lot of trouble trying to play the BLU RAY disk. Pc with lg BLU RAY player. Any help would be great. Already tried a lot of downloads and Other things.

This is not a review about the films, which assume that anyone buying blu ray already have seen and already like, especially this packaging.To me the blu ray image does not seem significantly better than dvd one, and even somewhat unnatural, maybe because more familar with the dvd image.This packaging gives the film script of first film, poster and some cards of stills from film. Basically for about £7 compared to just blu rays on own. This is just about worth it, but the RRP of £199 is insane.

Wow. I ordered the 40th anniversary collection blu ray boxset. The box is literally shoe box size and looks a well made quality item. The only problem is fitting it on my dvd shelf! The script is actually colour photo reproductions of the original hand annotated script, on quality thick glossy paper. The blue ray films themselves are wonderful quality on blu ray and are obviously classics of the genre.This boxset is a bargain and a collectors item, I paid £28 and feel I got something to keep for a lifetime.

After I bought this collector's edition, I started feeling it was not a good a good purchase. I thought I would find a better version or just a cheaper one not so different from this.But I was absolutely wrong. First, when I saw the box it was really surprising, for it is very big. The shooting script is beautiful and contains annotations. It's not a simple, clean script. So, for those who like to study Cinema, it will be of great interest.Besides, the movies are incredible. Probably the best trilogy ever made. There's also a Corleone family tree, which is beautiful (but just beautiful) and nice photographs from the production.Great purchase!

I love the Godfather, I have read the book several times and watched it on VHS, and DVD. I have recently updated to a blu-ray player and want to buy the films again. I saw that this was re-mastered and brought it, for £28.00 . reasonable price for the films on Blu-ray. I paid £35 for my VHS copies years ago. When the collection arrived I was amazed by what I got. I thought I had just brought the films in a nice white box. All the extras are brilliant, and well worth the price. I check how much the films alone were and realised that I had only paid an extra £7 for all of the extras. BARGIN!
