Me neitherI would totally recommend watching the Rocky films, they're 80's ace!
As for the Godfather trilogy, I said DiT should watch them and he didn't like the first film. There are a lot of characters to remember, but I love all gangster movies so I think they're great... but I know its not everyone’s tastes.
The Rambo films are pretty cool if you like a lot of violence in your action films! :)

I really love Goodfellas and the like (The Untouchables is awesome too)so I should watch the Godfather films.
I'm quite particularly about the sort of things I like to watch (or read) depending on my mood, and I've never had the opportunity to watch any of the aforementioned when I've been in the right mood.
Took me ages to see things like Usual Suspects, American Beauty and Memento too.

I love the Godfather filmsthe second is the best in my opinion though all three need to be watched. People give number three stick but actually its not a bad film, just compared to the other two its weak but actually on its own its a good film with a good story and ends the trilogy well.
