What's your favorite movie? You've definitely been asked this question at least once. And if you're like me, being obsessed with so many completely different films, you never know what to say to this seemingly simple question. However, after getting the chance to go to the closing ceremony of the Tribeca Film Festival, my choice has been solidified. "The Godfather Parts I and II" are my favorite movies of all times (no I will not choose between them).

I have no shame in saying that I love movies/TV shows of the mafia genre. It's possible that this is because they are all from the area I grew up in so everyone around me revered them as well. I always grappled with the idea that I like both "The Godfather" and "Goodfellas" for different reasons. One is so easy to rewatch because it has more of a lighter, comedic tone (from its voiceover approach), while the other has the narrative detailed for you in stunning fashion.

But going to Radio City Music Hall -- a theater unlike any other with near perfect acoustics -- and just sitting down to watch these two iconic movies, I have never felt such clear realization in why these two films, to me, are the best films of all time.

"Part I" takes you on a man's journey from regular citizen to being the head of the Corleone family business at the end -- something he said he would never do. And "Part II", with a darker tone, gives you probably the best parallel edited structure with two of the best actors of any generation -- Pacino and De Niro -- acting as both Don Corleones during the same time of their rise to power.

The panel of this closing ceremony was what really got to me. Everyone was there except those who have unfortunately passed (R.I.P. Marlon Brando and John Cazale). It seemed to me that a lot of this cast had not seen each other in awhile and getting all these questions about the best films they starred in over 40 years ago seemed a little daunting at first.

But unless you're De Niro who has never been much of a talker (and was only in Part II), once some of the actors started talking, it was hard for them to stop. The captain of the ship, Frances Ford Coppola, had to recall the different instances that the moderator, director Taylor Hackford, had thrown at him. As a huge fan of Coppola's work, it was definitely interesting to hear what behind the scenes anecdotes and drama occurred.

Pacino detailed his very rocky beginnings before he was Michael Corleone. A story that I had already known but many did not, the studio did not want Pacino as Michael, but wanted someone of the Robert Redford variety to play him (could you imagine?). So for months, he did screen tests while basically, all odds were against him. But with Coppola's, Diane Keaton's and others' persistence, Pacino became Michael Corleone.

And the anecdotes didn't stop there. I found out, as did the cast, so many interesting details of what happened during shooting. Apparently, Robert Duvall and Marlon Brando enjoyed mooning unexpected guests at Connie and Carlo's wedding reception. Talia Shire even gave Frances the idea to make Kay's miscarriage an abortion. Like I said, I live for the Q & A section of TFF.

Going to an iconic event such as this really made me reflect on the films we have today. Coppola said at the ceremony that this kind of movie could never be made today, which really struck me. Are we only supposed to revere these wonderful films of the past, or will there ever be a film -- both in premise and quality, that will ever be on the same scale that both "The Godfather Part I & II" have been on?

I really don't know, and only time will tell. All I can say is if you haven't been to TFF and you're in the area, just go. You, too might breathe the same air as both Don Corleones.

Also, if Star Trek superfans are Trekkies, what are The Godfather superfans? Mobbies?? Because that was definitely the crowd that was there.
