> didn't feel the Godfathers were special

Read a few reviews of the Godfather. There is subtlety to the characters and a slower pace that modern day viewers may not appreciate as we aren't used to this--rather many of us have become accustomed to blunt hit you over the head plots and may likely miss much of what Godfather is about.

Regardless, your point stands. We all have our own tastes & preferences.
