- It's so subjective. The Departed has evolved far beyond The Godfather films but they're also unmistakably derivative of it. - David Apr 14, 10:14 7
  - eh. In what ways has it "evolved" beyond The Godfather films (ignoring the third one)? It's not even close to the same league as the first two. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 14, 10:16 6
    - We've watched The Godfather 1 and 2 over the past year and I kept thinking "this is no different from an average Sopranos episode". - David Apr 14, 10:20 5

        but then The Sopranos - when it was on its game - is one of the best 5 TV shows ever. - Reagen Apr 14, 10:31
      - This is what I found when I finally watched The Godfather last year. - Shaun Apr 14, 10:24
      - a more complex plot doesn't equate with better drama. twistier, but pretty hollow thematically -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 14, 10:22 1
        
        Right. Not to mention lesser-quality acting. Nicholson's character and his arc were a major negative on that. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 14, 10:23
- You're actually DTM for leaving Casablanca off the list. D.T.M. - ty97 Apr 14, 10:13
You can't be serious about Shakespeare In Lo...oh, forget it. nm - Dignan Apr 14, 10:11 8
- I am not mistook. - David Apr 14, 10:13 7
  - even David has to be totally correct once in a while, dumb dignan -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 14, 10:14 6

        Speaking of...I bought the Zombie & Knoxx last night; do I play them through on Walkthrough #1? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 10:18 2
        
        I don't know. I own both but I have yet to play either one. -- nm - David Apr 14, 10:20 1
        
        Fun fact: I should once again have Borderlands on Friday, assuming my amazon order arrives. -- nm - Shaun Apr 14, 10:25
    - I'm going to let you in on a universal truth: If you and David agree about something, it's wrong. Period. nm - Dignan Apr 14, 10:15
