One of the most common complaints about Netflix is that it lacks a really strong selection of classic movies, but there's a doozy coming in January. The entire Godfather trilogy will be available for the first time in the new year, the streaming platform announced today.

In case you're yet to catch up with the movie ranked as the second-best of all time by the American Film Institute, The Godfather chronicles the rise of a fictional New York crime family, the Corleones, led by Marlon Brando's patriarch Vito and later by his son Michael (Al Pacino). Adapted from Mario Puzo’s novel of the same name, the series goes on to follow Michael's gradual transformation from a reluctant family outsider to ruthless mob boss.

While the first and second movies are widely regarded as two of the best ever made—and both won a Best Picture Oscar—the third installment is famously far more divisive. Which is a pretty great argument for attempting an all-day Netflix binge of the whole trilogy, to see whether the backlash holds up in context. The Godfather films will be available on Netflix from January 1.
