It’s past its prime.

When the Godfather first came out, it was great.

However, after all the hundreds of other mafia movies came out duplicating the same themes, it doesn’t really provide any impact to a new viewer.

It’s like sizzler was the bomb in the 70s and outback crushed it in the 80s and 90s.

But now, both those spots are seen as subpar to terrible places to eat.

They are really the same, and people used to love the Texas toast & Bloomin Onion…but now “omg it’s soo greasy”

My wife and tried watching The Wire based solely on this board's recommendations. We couldn't get into it. At all.

I watched The Godfather for the very first time at the movies a few years ago. It was incredible.

When I lost 60 pounds on the Atkins diet, it was my favorite place to treat myself. 20 rib eye and those grilled veggies.
