Since this is the confession thread:

A couple of years ago I tried to watch The Godfather (first one), having heard so much about it, and it being a classic and all.

I turned it off half way through - couldn't finish it. Just couldn't get into it at all, unfortunately.

I never saw any of those movies, I was planning to. Someday.
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

This. Maybe when I have a flight somewhere I can start the movie.

The Godfather is my favorite movie, but I can see why people would have getting in to it. I guess it can be considered very slow, but I personally find it fascinating beyond words.

I just thought it was predictable and wandered most of the time :P

Maybe it's predictable by today's standards, but not in 1972 when it was released, and not in 1969 when the book was released.

Some things seem cliche and predictable because everything afterwards was so heavily inspired by it. Context can be important to fully appreciating something.

I only speak generally, as I've never seen a Godfather movie. That genre/style doesn't appeal to me at all.
Only King could mis-spell a LETTER.
Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

I concur.

It reminds me of some of the criticism Lord of the Rings received when it came out. Most of it alluding to the fact that those types of fantasy movies are predictable and uninspired. It's ironic because I guess most people forgot the books were written up to the late 1940s and inspired just about all of the fantasy that has come out since then. So context is definitely important when it comes to critiquing something.
