I don't either, and I'm older. Great cast, very influential but ultimately doesn't do much for me. Of course, Coppola doesn't do much for me either.

Scarface is pure garbage compared to The Godfather. Scarface didn't age well. Bad Eighties cliches stick out.
The Godfather is still amazing.
I always assumed there was something about the era the movie was made that was the reason I didn't get the Godfather. As far as gangster movies go I much prefer Goodfellas.
