An epic sequel that matches its predecessor for sheer scale and running time. The prequel scenes about Vito's early life I loved, but Michael's journey to cement his place at the head of the Corleone crime family left me feeling detached and a bit bored. Epic performance from Pacino again though!

The Godfather (1972)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/
Beautiful to watch with a very engaging and tragic plot about an Italian-American crime family. Covering such gritty topics as threats, murder, gambling, drugs, family honour and revenge, this three-hour epic is not to be undertaken lightly (and does go on a bit) but is fantastically rewarding.

Rogue One (2016)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3748528/
Almost everything you could wish for from a Star Wars movie. A pure, noble and desperate rebel mission carried out by a likeable ragtag crew with a brave female leader. Epic battle scenes and a hilariously sarcastic droid, no love story (upside) nor lightsabers (downside), but definitely a must watch!
