- 'The Godfather: Part II' (1974) Director: Francis Ford Coppola. In The Godfather: Part II, both Brando and Caan’s characters have exited the saga (the former relatively peacefully, and the latter violently), meaning that both Al Pacino as Michael and John Cazale as Fredo get even more to do here than they had before.
- 'The Godfather' (1972) Director: Francis Ford Coppola. Beyond being an early role for Al Pacino, the first Godfather is also notable for starring the likes of Marlon Brando, James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton.
- 'Dog Day Afternoon' (1975) Director: Sidney Lumet. Similar to how he played the most significant supporting role in The Conversation, John Cazale was billed behind only an Oscar-nominated Al Pacino in Dog Day Afternoon, a classic crime movie about a bank robbery that spirals dramatically out of control.
- 'The Deer Hunter' (1978) Director: Michael Cimino. Like The Conversation, The Deer Hunter is another great movie featuring John Cazale as one part of a remarkable cast.

- 'The Godfather' (1972) In 1969, Cazale joined the Long Wharf Theatre Company in Connecticut, a company he performed with for three seasons. In 1971, he reprised his Obie-winning role in Line, this time opposite a young Richard Dreyfuss.
- 'The Conversation' (1974) Because of how bright he shined in The Godfather, providing the smaller role of Fredo with complexity and layers, the film's director Francis Ford Coppola wrote a part specifically for John Cazale in his next movie, The Conversation.
- 'The Godfather Part II' (1974) The sequel to Coppola's adaptation of Mario Puzo's novel sees Al Pacino's Michael in a descent towards brutality. The dual-narrative film sees the origins of Vito's organization (played this time by the younger Robert De Niro) intercut with Michael's loss of perspective, prioritizing the business over his family; the opposite of his father's ideals.
- 'Dog Day Afternoon' (1974) On August 22, 1972, John Wojtowicz and Salvatore Naturale entered a Brooklyn Bank carrying shotguns. Having just watched The Godfather for some inspiration, they slipped a teller a note that read, "This is an offer you can't refuse."
