Our poll which lasted about a month and a half finally resulted and I'm not very surprised that the result is the legendary Godfather series.
Since you have picked this series as the winner, I assume that you already know about the plot . That's why I'll write about some interesting points of the series which you may not know about.
-The Godfather I received 3 Oscars and 5 Golden Globe Awards. The movie is the first in Empire's Greatest 500 Movies list and the second in IMDB's Top 250 Movies list.
-The Godfather II was the first film in which both Al Pacino and Robert De Niro played, though they never played in the same scene during the movie.
-Paramount wanted Robert Redford or Ryan O'Neal to be Michael Corleone but Coppola wanted a ratherly unknown guy, so he found Al Pacino, having appeared in only two minor films. The studio didn't consider him right for the role because of his height. Al Pacino got the role only after Coppola threatened to quit the production.
-Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Martin Sheen and Warren Beatty also auditioned for being Michael Corleone.
-The well-known music of the series by Nino Rota was removed from the Academy Award nominees list after it turned out that the theme was used before in a 1958 comedy movie named Fortunella.
I'm officially ending our first poll by placing this very well-known scene from The Godfather I:
