Well, I have an offer you can’t refuse, and it’s that Francis Ford Coppola’s masterful crime epic and its two sequels are currently available online, and chances are you already have the streaming service that’s hosting these crowning achievements of cinema.

The Godfather (1972)
Francis Ford Coppola’s Academy Award-winning The Godfather tells the story of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) as he goes from a powerful crime boss’ son who wants nothing to do with the family business, to reluctant heir, to a man who is the polar opposite of the person he was at the beginning of the movie. Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton also appear in pivotal and highly decorated roles in this timeless classic.

Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone (1990)
Originally opening on Christmas Day 1990 as The Godfather Part III, the third and final installment in the sprawling saga was given new life as Mario Puzo’s The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone for the 30th anniversary of its release. Michael Corleone, weary and damaged from the terrible decisions he has made throughout his adult life, wants to take the family business out of the dangerous mob world. But this proves to be no easy task with so many stakeholders, including his nephew Vincent Corleone (Andy Garcia), not wanting to lose out on any of the action.
