Very hard!
on 11/15/2009
Not hard at all. It's Godfather all the way.
on 11/18/2009
very hard, i am horror buff
on 11/25/2009
How in the world do you make this decision? I think I'm going to go with The Godfather, as it is just so deep and rich. More rewatchable than Psycho.
on 12/24/2009
Tough decision... I'll go with Godfather by a smidge.
on 7/29/2010
Psycho all the way! The music, the camera work, everything iconic.
on 12/7/2010
Psycho is a horror film well ahead of it's time. But The Godfather is simply better.
on 12/11/2011
Wow! Hardest choice I've had to make so far. Um, eenie, meenie...
on 2/6/2012
Psycho was much better
on 2/9/2012
The Godfather is better. I gotta give it to Psycho though, good tracking shots
on 2/13/2012
Im going with The Godfather, but a good match up discussion
The Godfather all the way.
on 4/4/2012
Come on you motherfuckers it's Psycho thumbs up to all you who voted for it with me.
on 7/6/2012
Wow, uhm hard one... Psycho is not only much more in my personal wheelhouse, I feel like it was a better made and more influential film.

In a way they're ideological opposites. The Godfather just gives audiences everything they want, and sometimes comes off as an exercise in vicarious glamor, where you share Pacino's ups and downs and the grimness never lasts too long; Psycho was all about gaming the viewers' expectations and then stabbing them to death. So, Psycho.

The Godfather stabs Psycho.
on 1/5/2013
Psycho by far
on 1/27/2013
The Godfather.
on 2/2/2013
As much as I love Godfather, I'll have to give it to Psycho. I love epic crime dramas, but I also love me a good thriller like Psycho.
Gotta go The Godfather here....

Not even Hitchcock can touch The Godfather---that there, says a lot!
on 6/28/2013
TGF just impressed me more.
on 8/11/2013
"Psycho" has absolutely no fat and is a far more precise while remaining more innovative and experimental. I also think Hitchcock's version of reality is wholly more convincing than Coppola's so really no Coppola film can touch a Hitchcock film when Hitch is in top form. No, this really isn't a close debate in my mind.
The Godfather is more my style, but both are fantastic.
Psycho. As much as I love Godfather
on 8/15/2013
Definitely The Godfather.
on 9/5/2013
The greatest horror/thriller vs. the greatest drama/mafia movie. Really apples and oranges, but that's okay as it comes with the territory of this site. No disrespect to Godfather, but I personally prefer Psycho.
on 9/19/2013
Psycho for me.
on 10/31/2013
Godfeather.
on 12/29/2013
The Godfather was amazing, but you can't fully enjoy it without tagging it along with its sequel. Psycho on the other hand is just perfect.
on 6/7/2014
Godfather
on 9/7/2014
Psycho fo' sure.
on 11/22/2014
Godfatha fo' sure.
on 12/4/2014
gaar fata mane janis?
on 12/5/2014
Close but I'm going Godfather.
Tough, tough choice. The two films are great in such different ways. The Godfather has almost impeccable production values, and an top-notch ensemble cast; Psycho is probably Hitchcock's most auteur-ish film (excepting Vertigo). I go with Psycho, but I feel like I'm betraying The Godfather.
on 2/15/2015
Psycho by far. I prefer Godfather : Part 2 to The Godfather
on 4/18/2015
The Godfather is one of the best crime films ever made, but does not transcend the crime genre as many people claim. Psycho, on the other hand, is as Hitchcock said, "pure film," and the viewer leaves giddy with awe.
on 7/23/2015
Difficult!
I'm going to have to go with Psycho. I think overall The Godfather is better. :(
on 10/19/2015
Psycho.It had a shorter run time and was more entertaining
on 3/22/2016
Solid matchup. The Godfather takes it with a fair amount of ease though.
on 12/11/2017
both are incredible films but i don't like the godfather much. i'll take psycho
on 12/13/2017
Battle of objective and subjective. I don’t overly love The Godfather. In fact, I was disinterested in the second act. Psycho is just perfect. The risky storytelling, the iconic filmmaking, the interesting characters and it’s influence. Hitchcock=the best filmmaker of all time!
on 2/9/2018
Norman Bates
2 masterpieces!!! But The Godfather takes it for me.
on 5/30/2018
I like psycho better but The Godfather is good too
The Godfather rules this match up.
on 11/16/2019
Impossible decision. I guess I'd rather watch The Godfather at the moment though.
The don owns here..
on 3/9/2021
Look both films are great these two are considered the greatest movies ever made and I couldn't choose but I would say godfather is the best but psycho is more rewatchable
on 3/31/2022
love psycho, but godfather wins
on 1/25/2023
Look I love Psycho but The Godfather wins this
on Mar 4
I Love Both But Man, I Don't Know If This Is Close, The horror, Setting, Villain, Buildup & Ending Is Why Psycho Takes It. Also, Anthony Perkins>Al Pacino. Psycho Wins.
