So I took my girlfriend at the time to see this movie when it came out in 1972. We both though the movie was very good, but the interesting thing was that as we were driving down the road afterwards there was part of a large truck's tire tube crumpled up in the road and I swear to God the way it happened to be folded up made it look exactly like a horse's head. Maybe a little too much for coincidence but it really freaked me out.
The fact that you don't think Godfather is a big deal, shows how amazing the Godfather movies are.
Before Godfather, "The Mafia" was something wierd, condescending, one-dimensional in the movies. Francis Coppola, the director, made a movie about a Family, in both the mafia and the biological senses. He gave those characters depth, details, background, reality - changed the way we looked at organized crime.

No
Isn't that from you got mail?
I read somewhere that they used a real horse head :Q
That kinda helps, thanks.
Well not "a lot," but other classic movies like Casablanca, Shawshank Redemption, Schindler's List. I can see the greatness of those movies, but for some reason, I just can't see it in the Godfather.
I pretty much agree. It's a very good movie, and some of the acting is mesmerizing, but I don't consider it one of the greatest ever the way some do.
I think Rumble Fish is a better movie, to mention another Coppola film.

Wait until you're older and your attention span has matured. Then watch it again.
I didn't enjoy (appreciate) it when I watched it in high school. Watched part I & II after college and thoroughly believe them to be the pinacle of cinema.

Apocalypse Now > Godfather
Yeah, I know they're not comparable as such, just that both were directed by Copola, and both are movies that are generally considered to be masterpieces by many, yet many others don't get them.
That said, I guess a big reason why I didn't like The Godfather as much as many others is that I never cared for Marlon Brando.
Not cause he's a bad actor(obviously), I simply don't like him for some reason.
Oh, and I think Apocalypse Now could have been even better if he wouldn't have been doped out during the filming, I guess that's a reason not to like him
