I watched it recently for the first time, and I really don't get why it's so loved. IMDB rates it as the second-best movie of all time, but it seems far worse than that to me. I like most old movies and see their hype, but The Godfather didn't do it for me. What am I missing?

I have a very difficult time getting my kids to watch most of my most favorite things because the hook doesn't come in the first 5 minutes.

Ghostbusters, man, I'm sitting there anxious for them to get to the library so i kids don't check out before they even see a ghost.
