Ford Coppola turned the story of Don Vito Corleone into an epic, multi-generational metaphor for modern American society and its place in the world. Coppola's musical choices were equally sage; aged Italian scoring legend Nino Rota's mournful solo trumpet theme ("Godfather Waltz") would become both a crucial, emotional link in all three films and an enduring modern icon on a par with the themes to Star Wars and Jaws. This compendium gathers key themes from the Godfather trilogy in modern rerecordings by conductor Paul Bateman and the Prague Philharmonic that are sonically pristine and faithful to the originals. Utilising the rich musical heritage of his native Italy (and occasionally evoking memories of his great collaborations with Fellini), Rota's Godfather music would ultimately net him his only Oscar, for Godfather II. Carmine Coppola, the director's father, supplements Rota's work with music that's more distinctly ethnic, while the prelude from Italian classical composer Pietro Mascagani's masterful opera Cavalleria Rusticana becomes a crucial element in Godfather III, filling the void left by Rota's passing in 1979.--Jerry McCulley

Advantages: Blue-Ray At Its Best Disadvantages: None
I had watched Band Of Brothers many of times with the Normal DVD boxset, but with the all new Blu-Ray edition it has enlightened my eyes with sharpness and detail in the best action sequences from blowing up bulidings with a mortar to bullit wizzing sounds with the quality of the new surround sound that you can get with this Blu-Ray edition.
As you may have read Band of Brothers is a ten-part television World War II miniseries based on the book written by historian and biographer Stephen Ambrose. It was executive produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks.

Advantages: Superp acting, brilliant special features and amazing visula quality Disadvantages: slightly limited special effects (but it was the 70's!)

Based on Mario Puzo's book, The Godfather is about a sicilian Mafia family's rise and fall from power and the journey of a son as he learns how to run the family as his father would have wanted. This boxset comes with a bonus disk supplied with directors commentaries and deleted scenes, cast and crew interviews and many other special features. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, The GodfatherTrilogy won a number of Oscars for both Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro (his first oscar). Even 30 years later this is still one of the greated films ever made. ...
Advantages: Great Films, Good Value for Blu Ray Disadvantages: Still cheaper to buy normal DVD and the difference isnt that huge
this film is nothing short of AMAZING, he will make you walk around asking people " Why So Serious" Trust Me.... buy this film... just to see him in his final and finest hour.
Final Thoughts: I think this is a fairly good value for money boxset. Prices on BluRay can stil be a bit high so i thought this was a bargain . One last thing i do feel though..... At the moment i feel the difference between BluRay and normal DVD on a HDTV isnt enough to convince me to pay an extra ten pounds for a movie.
So.... If you are definately moving into BluRay... Buy this
If you dont yet have Bluray... Dont worry, You can pick both movies up for under £15 if you know where to look. ...
