Based on Mario Puzo's novel of the same name, The Godfather is the first in a critically-acclaimed series. Named the second-best movie of all time by the American Film Institute, the classic film finally has made its debut on Netflix.

The other half follows a young Vito (played by Robert De Niro) as he travels from his childhood home in Sicily to the world of organized crime in New York City. As Vito rises in the ranks of organized crime, Michael pays the price of getting involved in his father’s world.
