You sound slightly triggered that there are people that don’t enjoy them at all.

I have the exact same feelings on them and I have seen them. More than once...

The exact same for me, I’ve seen them all. Don’t enjoy them and don’t watch that type of movie generally.

I’ve had to sit throught them with other people etc.

Yep, the same with the titles that I saw, bro. They're definitely not my thing.

Yeah you probably think movies like Resident Evil: Afterlife are better than The Godfather.

Well, as I've stated repeatedly now, my friend. I have seen a few of them & parts of others, And I didn't enjoy them. So I have no interest in watching something that I know I won't enjoy.
And this is a discussion forum. So, I'll talk about whatever I choose.
I'm not understanding the salt in your tone. It's not as if I was talking shit about the films in discussion. I just stated that they're not to my personal tastes. So, relax, man. It's all good.

Will you watch The Godfather?

No, I won't because I've failed to finish watching it on three previous occasions. On one of those occasions, I got about 90 minutes into it & I became too bored to finish it. I didn't engage with any of the characters & I had no interest in the resolution of the plotline. But at the same time, I recognize that it had some stellar performances & was directed by an exceptional artist. But I still couldn't finish it.
I realize how strange that is but I am who I am & I can't help it. After my multiple failed attempts at watching it, I'd rather not waste any more time trying to watch something I just don't enjoy.

I watched it many times and didn't get it. Then I put myself in Kay's shoes. Kay appealed to Michael particularly because she was not Italian, not part of the "family", not part of the business. He harbored illusions of turning the business completely legitimate for a long time, well after he married Kay. I think marrying someone who would help discourage him, even just by her presence, from following in his father's mold, was very appealing to him. I imagine that the murder of Apollonia actually made Michael more insistent that he marry Kay and at least try to escape from the cycle of retribution.

It succeeds not only in pulling off the use of a classical/formal/mannered film language correctly and remarkably; that language is used to emotionally evoke a grand archetypal American narrative, Operatic and Tragic, built around an immigrant family, and charting its rise, corruption, and fall in ways that comment on a vast array of subjects that relate to the American condition: Marriage, Politics, Poverty, Crime, Innocence Lost, Violence, Loyalty, Betrayal, etc. etc.

I have no doubt about those deep themes within the film's narrative & I appreciate your understanding of them & your obvious admiration for the film. But, it still doesn't illicit in me any desire to watch THE GODFATHER. You're beating a dead ( possibly decapitated? ) horse with me when it comes to this movie. LOL.
Who knows, though? Maybe someday further down the line, I'll finally sit down, tie myself to a chair & watch it in its entirety. If that ever happens I'll be sure to track you down & let you know that I did so at last. OK?
Of course, then you'll just want me to watch THE GODFATHER II. <45>
Peace, man.

You know they used a real horses head for that scene? I know you can appreciate that.

Will you watch it if they do a 4K release?

But, I'm not discussing them in detail. I'm just stating that from what I've seen of them ( I have seen the first half of THE GODFATHER as well as all of GOODFELLAS, CASINO & DONNIE BRASCO ) that particular genre simply fails to hold my interest. Basically, I don't find the characters in them intriguing at all.
I recognize that they're classic films & I'm not putting them down whatsoever. Nor am I criticizing those who enjoy them. I realize that I'm in the minority for not liking them but it is what it is. They're just not my type of movies.
Peace.

Star Wars and super heroes, if those are even nerd things anymore. Something about fantasy type shows/movies with kings, queens and dragons doesn't work for me, brother

Oh, man. You've been paying attention, haven't you, bro? LOL.
You're a sly one because you know that I'll basically watch a movie about paint drying if it's in 4K UHD, huh?
OK, you've got me cornered now. So, yeah. If/when it comes out in 4K I'll be sure to watch it.
 
Absolutely hate horror movies and whatever genre fast and the furious is as well as superhero movies. Give me a slow burning movie with a plot any day.

What does what I like and think is a better movie have anything to do with it?

Different people enjoy different things, I’m sure there are things we both enjoy the other would think were dumb.

That doesn’t make our opinions on what we like wrong, they are opinions.

That’s why they make different things
