Anytime I watch the full movie or even a clip or listen to the musical score of Godfather 1 or 2, I often wonder why no movie since has ever been able to recreate the palpable atmosphere of these 2 films. Theres something about it that I cant quite put my finger on but these 2 movies just feel so enriching and timeless. I cant think of any other thats come close to recreating the mood or that feeling of knowing your watching something thats like an out of body experience.
Even though I have quite a few movies ahead of Godfather I and II that I enjoy more, they are unique in that theres nothing else quite like them.

For a second, I thought the thread title was about Godfather one half.

Remember Jeff Goldblum's little science experiment with the drop of water in Jurassic Park?
If, by some magic formula, you could recall every single person involved in the making of the two Godfather movies, including those now dead, and do it all over again, even they would not be able to make the same exact film. How, then, could anyone accomplish what you suggest?
Genius is uniquely brought forth only once.
The rest is imitation.

This was the last film printed in the U.S. in the classic "imbibition" Technicolor dye-transfer process, which produced better color accuracy and longevity than color print films of the time. The British and Italian lines were not shut down until a few years later. The British equipment was purchased by the Beijing Film and Video Lab in 1978, and used to print Chinese color films until the early 1990s.

The first two Godfather movies are operatic in nature as it tells an encompassing story about a family. Not every film needs to lend itself to the particular format. Then, there's the fact that studio economics have changed since 1972 and movies are test-marketed and micromanaged to ensure it's profitable. As a result, those type of stories would become frequent in television series. While I haven't seen it yet, Once Upon a Time in America may have similar attributes to The Godfather films.
