The scene in the Havana "S&M" club where Michael finally realizes that Fredo has been lying to him about his connection to the hit on Michael is just priceless. The look on Michael's face says it all.

Should he have killed his own brother? What choice did he have? Fredo sold him out and in doing so risked getting Kay and Michael's kids killed. Michael had no choice.

Killing Fredo sets up the "moral" struggle in Part III. Michael tries to escape his criminal past, he even tries to go legit. But the sins of the past keep dragging him back. Of all of his "sins," fraticide is the one sin that haunts him the most.

Which "part" did you enjoy the most? Part I? II? III?

I like Part I, especially the end scene, where they keep cross-cutting between Michael baptizing Connie's kid and reciting the various sacraments of the Catholic church and the scenes where Michael whacks the opposition and becomes the undisputed leader. Very powerful editing.

But Part II is my favorite.

BTW...of all the polls that I've seen here, this is got to be one of the strangest. What next: should Capt. Kirk have whacked Khan?
