What's with the hype for The Godfather? - eviltoast

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?

    But again, for all it’s historical relevance, nobody rates Sputik second best satellite today.

      But I would still rate Michaelangelo’s David as the best sculpture today.

      Edit… Winged Victory though… looking up at it from the base of the stairs…
