>The Godfather is the best movie off all time. >Why?

>moron can't survive for too long near people with present brain cells

no one cares if someone likes capeshit or top 250 imdb, but capeshitters actively seek to shit up places of people they call "pretentious"
who is the narcissist indeed

the whole "snobs say Godafather is the best film of all time" is nonsense, because by definition a snob cannot name a movie that famous and popular to be the best of all time
the only people who say that are the ones who are so cinematically illiterate that Godfather is somehow an obscure film for them, i.e. that could only be people with total capeshit mentality (not just people who like some superhero movies, but people obsessed with that slop and who view it as some cinematic pinnacle), or maybe someone who watches nothing but the same 90s action flicks over and over (the remark i made about top 250 imdb fans is quite stupid because top 250 imdb has Godfather in it)

I mean rebuffing people you find inferior is simple human nature, hierarchy is natural order. This is why i generally tend to dislike the accusations of snobbery. It's often simple seething from the fact that "HOW DARE SOMENE THINK HE IS BETTER THAN ME".
Also, to accuse someone of snobbery by such definition you need to have proof that someone likes Godfather specifically because of the movie's special place in pop culture (or obscurity, which would reveal the person as a total fricking imbecile because Godfather is objectively an extremely popular film). But most of the time people accuse someone else of snobbery or pretentiousness for simply not liking what they like, and invent schizophrenic conspiracies that people who think that the Godfather is the best movie of all time can't respect people who have other choices for the best movie of all time.
Also also, no, I do not think that the Godfather is the best film of all time. But I understand if someone does, and it is annoying when morons start seething because of that. Because I respect other people's choices, but I do not respect schizos who think they know everything about someone from them thinking a certain film is the greatest.

This never happens outside Reddit circles, but redditors are moronic by default, not because of The Godfather.

when someone gloats about being le tough on the internet, especially about such pitiful bullshit it's almost concrete proof that what they're talking about never happened

you're not disliking the movie, you're disliking people for liking a movie you don't like
this is insufferable behavior and is something that actually falls more under the "snob" definition
but on this shithole it seems like a lot of people make a living on being insufferable gays
what's grim is that it's still better than most other sites

There's nothing snobbish about someone liking something.
Snobbish behavior is what surrounds the enjoyment or dislike of something. Someone saying that The Godfather is the best movie of all time is not snobbish. Saying that if you don't think it's the best movie of all time you're a fricking moron suck my dick, eat shit IS snobbish. Saying that someone simply thinking that The Godfather is the best movie of all time is too snobbish.
Also most of the time someone accuses something or someone of being pretentious it's schizophrenia (everyone around me...IS LE PRETENTDING) mixed with snobbish behavior, just an observation.

Generalization fallacy.

Where the frick did you meet all the seething Godfather fans? Cinemaphile (moron central)? Reddit (quadruple moron central)? I prefer not to ever visit the latter, and the bullshit on here in no way reflects the majority. IRL i never even met a person who thinks The Godfather is the best film of all time. I met plenty of people who still thinks it's a masterpiece, and none of them seethed when I say that I find it to be a good 8/10 movie but no more.

I should have clarified that i meant "I met plenty of people IRL".

As I said someone being a snob doesn't stem from them thinking a specific movie is the best of all time, it stems from them being a snob.
There's probably plenty of people who's favorite movies are like, I don't know, The Predator or Broken Arrow, who would seethe eternally if you said that "no I don't think they're the best movies of all time. And you know Broken Arrow is kinda shit ngl".

In what way? Maybe if the person is emulating certain characters, but otherwise it's nonsense, movies can not cause someone to become a snob in any other way that's not character emulating. And it's not like The Godfather is the only movie with characters who have snobbish characteristics.

How? In what way? You're simply mixing up cause and effect.
The cause is something else in people's lives that made them pack-minded and snobbish. Effect is that they take a specific film and decide to be snobbish about it. And it's not just The Godfather that they do that with. Anyone can take anything highly regarded and be snobbish about it. Hell, it doesn't have to always be highly regarded even. Some people are snobbish about Michael Bay. I actually myself think he is a great director, but I also believe he really fricked up his career with all the Transformers slop. Pain and Gain tho and Rock for example are fantastic films. But I understand why people shit on Bay. But there are some fans of vulgar auterism who would tear you apart dare you say that Bay fell off, not even talking about saying that Bay was never good.

Equating a movie to childhood trauma so severe it activates psychopathy is nonsense. Snobbish behavior is also quite a strong trait that cannot be suddenly activated (in a non-infantile adult for sure) by a film. Snobs attach themselves to things not because they like them, but because of the status. Now this is something that's actually difficult to prove, which makes most accusations of snobbery superficial. But there is a set of arguments one could make about The Godfather being the best film of all time. The most obvious such argument being a claim that "most people think it's the best of all time therefore it's the best of all time". But again, if we have proof that the snob has attached itself to something because of it's status as *something* (it could really be anything) then it's in no way the fault of the film. It's qualities do not evaporate. The only thing that a rational person would get from it is that the snob in question is indeed a snob.
No one becomes a snob after watching The Godfather, they attach themselves to The Godfather because of it's status, not qualities. Also, going back to me saying that status could be anything. This not only means that someone could attach itself to Godfather because of it's high status and someone else could attach themselves to, idk, Transformers, for their opposite status, but it also means that different snobs could view the status Godfather has differently. You can't even really assume that true snobs who attach themselves to Godfather do that for the same reasons.

I have not encountered such research, I guess maybe you did. But even if this is actually true and not nonsense, it still means that certain characteristics of a movie (which ones?) could TRIGGER not CAUSE certain behavioral changes. And "to trigger" means to activate something that already was in the person, but dormant.
In a sense that's quite the same thing as saying that a person who got yelled at by a troony for misgendering the troony is more at fault than the troon. How is it a fault of the director or a movie or other people who like the movie and think it's great that the movie might potentially trigger some people who are predisposed to mental issues. No one is obliged to be versed in state-of-the-art psychiatric research.

This is /x/ tier schizophasia.
It cannot even possibly be true because you said that recent developments show that movies can trigger serious behavioral changes, and The Godfather is anything but recent.

That's not what I mean. If we have only now, only recently, allegedly, discovered that certain movie characteristics (beyond character emulating or specifically following the perceived moral of the film) can trigger behavioral changes, there was no way for the producers and Coppola to design the movie to trigger those behavioral changes. Because back then they did not know that movies are capable of such, or at least they for sure did not know what specific characteristic trigger what. If you want to peddle /x/ conspiracy crap at least try doing something that's not so easily proven false through contradictions.
