- For the character, see The Godfather (character).
The Godfather is a gangster novel (1969) by Mario Puzo, which was made into an epic gangster film trilogy consisting of three pictures: The Godfather (1972), The Godfather Part II (1974) and The Godfather Part III (1990), all directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In addition to its depiction of gangster life, the film series became well-noted for its theme music and for the iconic scene in the first film where a character wakes up to find his horse's severed head in his bed. The series is also well known for its catchphrases, such as "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse" (Don Corleone in The Godfather) and "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" (Michael Corleone in The Godfather Part II).
There are numerous references to the Godfather film series in The Simpsons media.
