Are you f...ing kidding me?!! How can you choose between these two masterpieces? I'll go with 2001 because it was such an avant-garde piece of work but man...
I totally agree with your comment.

Given your choice of profile picture, I'm not surprised ;D
Star Child ordered the hit on Don Corleone.

Don Corleone said "For once, I've got no better offer" ;)

GODFATHER is a great flick, but it is limited by being simply the best film of its kind. 2001 was a new kind of film, something emulated by the great filmmakers, inspiring a watershed of daring cinema. GODFATHER inspired films that we really didn't need and never equaled the original, so "watershed" just doesn't apply. So if it didn't really do anything new and didn't lead anywhere great, 2001 simply has to take the prize. Oh, and 2001 is also twice as good.

Godfather for me. I'd rather watch it again eternally over everything.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a rarer masterpiece. It's not often that you see high science fiction of its caliber. And I can't even call The Godfather the best mob film of all time, believe it or not. The Departed holds that crown.

I don't understand, how could Star Child have ordered the hit on Don Corleone? He doesn't appear in the chronology of 2001 until the very end, The attempts on Vito take place in the 40's or 50's... some 50 years (at least) before the Star Child is "conceived."

2001 is my hands-down favourite movie of all time. The Godfather is amazing, but I've got to give it to HAL.

Dude, you're crazy, that blinking light's got nothing on Brando!

This is a rough one. Both could be part of a class for aliens visiting earth, learning about humainty. Both iconic, 2001 gets the nod for being way ahead of its time.

The Godfather, but just by a smidgen.
2001: A Space Odyssey by a smidgen.

2001 wins out in this battle. Ahead of its time and the best Sci-fi movie ever made. Such a well made movie that makes use of everything the medium has to offer.
It's a very tough choice but I'm going with the Godfather

2001, for achieving higher consciousness through film, and because the Godfather is good but vastly overrated.
What admiralpiet said flipped and reversed. (Barring the higher conciousness metaphysics stuff of course.)

Don't get me wrong,2001 is one of my favorite films,But the Godfather...It's a movie you can't not fall in love with,It unfolds in a near-flawless fashion.
on 6/22/2011
2001 for sure
on 6/25/2011
I'll go with the Godfather. Lot of strong opinions here for 2001, but it just didn't work for me like Godfather did...
on 7/5/2011
Both in my top 5. But 2001: A Space Odyssey will take this round. The only reason is I get mildly annoyed at the amount of times the main theme in the godfather is played. Such a small complaint. But when dealing with two masterpieces, there's really only small complaints left.

i'm sorry but this is impossible. no, i mean it, this is absolutely impossible. the two are completely different from one another, and i love them both so much. but this site made by the devil is forcing me to choose, so i'll have to go with the godfather, only because i haven't seen it as much as 2001, and so has been less worn out.
on 7/21/2011
This choice isn't impossible for me. It's definintely The Godfather.

2001

Both are great ofkoz, but I'll have to go with 2001, just because I was stunned bit more after seeing this.

Godfather was the first film that truly interested me in cinema and I think it's a film anyone can love but 2001 is different its more out there the godfather is a strait forward story but 2001 is more of a Rorschach test you are the interpreter and there are hundreds of interpretations of the film but you decide what to believe and while the godfather was somewhat innovative it didn't break new ground like 2001 which is why i consider 2001 to be the better film but they are both great love 2001's musical score

2001 is just perfect.Fantastic visuals!
on Saturday
Both are fine films that shaped cinema and their respected genres for life, but The godfather had better acting and plot.
on Monday
The Godfather owns
on Tuesday
Both are masterpieces, but I have to give this one to the Godfather.
