my favorite Godfather quotes and scene from Brando:

"I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse."
Don Corleone to Johnny Fontane about Woltz

"You can act like a man! [slap] What's the matter with you?"
Don Corleone to Johnny Fontane

I will always remember Brando in the Godfather, definitely one of the best movies if not triology ever.

It's odd...yesterday or Wed. I saw a blurb on TV saying that Brando was monetarily broke. Then today, this. I immediately thought the worst.

I gotta get a better outlook on life.

He was a great actor, one of the very best method actors ever.
