I have no problem with your genuine belief even though I think a movie like Godfather is now so ingrained that its quality is assumed, rather than actually analyzed, and that most people like it because they are supposed to. But that's another discussion.
Eh don't know about that. It wasn't like it was some flash in the pan movie by some unheard of director. it's a movie that is viewed, by the majority, to be one of the greatest directors of all time best movie. As I've mentioned a lot around here the godfathers are the two movies that made me have a better appreciation for film. IMDB's top 250 has Shawshank at 1 and The Godfather 2 I think. Obviously that's not how I listed them or how they will turn out for this top 200, but those movies aren't rated that high and played on AMC once a week because people are ingrained to think they are good. They are good because they are good *deep thinking begins* quality movies from a director who's movies have stood up after being analyzed, which I think the godfathers have.

Agreed. But that doesn't change or effect anything I've said.

Or are they rated that high because THEY ARE played on AMC once a week? Maybe because we have a cultural conscious that has an effect on how we think? I'm not saying that's the truth, but it can be PART of the truth.

Or, because of culture, do they stand up to being analyzed because no one has the balls to actually talk about some of the antiquated concepts, how little they have affected film IN MODERN TIMES (their influence can be argued as short, I may not argue that but it can be argued), and how we shouldn't hold them in high regard because they aren't of high moral character? Depends on your beliefs about art, but there are arguments out there to be made.
Again, not attacking the Godfather, just the sentiment that they DESERVE anything, when it comes to film, is a bit ridiculous.
