wow Straw, that's a long one. Are you Italian, or part? I'm only half Italian, my other half is Irish. I'm 65 yrs old, and up until 6 or 7 yrs ago, I COULD NOT manage to sit down with the Godfather and watch it all the way through. I'm born in Brooklyn and later raised in the Bronx and for the life of me I couldn't get past the first few idiot "bit" actors they paraded on the screen. In my eyes they were too regular for me, they were guys buying coffee in the local deli. Fast forward to about 2018, I had just bought my current house with my wife, and I had a buddy visiting from Florida, last name Gambino, no joke, true story. So my wife had something to do, and left the 2 of us Bronx guys to flip around the channels and actually watch The Godfather. Neither one of us drink or party or anything else, but the movie was amazing, we were both floored, especially after both of us had avoided it for years. That's my GF story, and I concur with what you wrote. 😉
