all this is that reheated: The Godfather chapter titles

[while Jack continues his Hollywood sojourn, we arew reprinting another oldie but goodie. Jack liked the DVD chapter titles of The Godfather films so much, he typed them into a list. Jack returns in person tomorrow.]




The Godfather Chapter Titles
(originally appeared July 2005)

My family gave me The Godfather box set for father's day. I have probably seen the movies fifty times since they came out, and it's great to actually own them now. I am utterly fascinated by the chapter titles Coppola gave the scenes.

If you know these movies, the chapter titles are amazingly evocative of the movie, and just four words can bring the entire scene flooding back into your mind. This must be one of the most fun parts of creating DVDs for movies.
