Happy Birthday Francis Ford Coppola

Quick. When you think of The Godfather, do you think of the best-selling book by Mario Puzo, or the three Godfather movies based on Puzo's novel? I'd wager it's the Oscar-winning movies that come to mind first, even The Godfather Part III, which despite being a disappointment, was still nominated for an Academy Award. Birthday boy Francis Ford Coppola directed all three with author Mario Puzo co-writing the script.
