Step BrothersStep Brothers is a 2008 comedy that has established itself as a cult classic and a standard of the Will Ferrell-Adam McKay franchise. By Ferrell and McKay, the movie boasts Ferrell and Talladega Nights co-star John C. Reilly as Brennan Huff and Dale Doback—two absurdly immature, unemployed, middle-aged bachelor guys who are abruptly forced to live together as step-brothers when their single parents (Richard Jenkins and Mary Steenburgen) get married. Their initial competition and absurdity are used to dismantle their new family, but they manage to become cohesive in their shared love of goofy childlike behavior. Even though the film was greeted with a mixed critical reaction at first, it was a commercial success, grossing over $128 million worldwide. Of more importance, its stature has grown by leaps and bounds since its release and now enjoys a devoted fan base. In much the same manner as Talladega Nights, the movie's legacy is defined by its continuously quotable dialogue and memorable moments, from the "Catalina Wine Mixer" to how they begin their entertainment company, "Prestige Worldwide."
Ferrell's performance as the dainty drum-hating Brennan is a masterclass in committed absurdity, and his chemistry with Reilly is the emotional and comedic core of the film. Step Brothers provides testament to the power of high-concept character comedy, and it remains one of the most beloved and quotable comedies of its time.

Godfather
The Godfather was released in 1972 and was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and co-written with Mario Puzo, based on his bestselling book of the same name. It’s considered one of the best films ever and innovated the gangster film genre. The movie has an all star cast including Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Robert Duvall and Diane Keaton.
It tells the story of the Corleone mafia family with Brando playing the leading role. Al Pacino portrays his youngest son Michael, who grows into the position of mafia boss. Filming took place in the New York City area and Sicily, Italy.
It was the highest grossing film of 1972 and at one time was the highest grossing film ever with an estimated box office of almost $300 million. It was a critical and commercial success and launched the careers of many of its stars, in particular Brando, who saw his career revitalized, and Pacino. The film contains many famous lines, such as “sleeps with the fishes” and “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse”. The Godfather received 11 Academy Award nominations, with three wins including Brando for Best Actor. He famously refused to accept his award based on his objections to the treatment of American Indians in Hollywood. Following the success of The Godfather, two sequels were released: The Godfather Part II in 1974 and The Godfather Part III in 1990. Part II is considered an influential and important film while Part III was met with less critical and commercial success.
