The Godfather was a breath of fresh air. Hollywood was very stale in the '60s (the best film from that decade were foreign from filmmakers such as Sergio Leone and Ingmar Bergman), so it was nice to see a more gritty and original picture. And the good thing is, is that it still holds up by todays standards. The beautiful soundtrack, the three dimensional characters, Willis' phenomenal soundtrack.. it's a package of great content, with interesting themes spread throughout the three hours of this film.
Maybe it's a bit overrated, and it's certainly not for everyone, but I think it's quite safe to say that this film is a great accomplishment in cinema and in modern art.

You're saying this out of historical context though. You live in a world where the impact of these movies has permeated into pop culture itself.
Not to mention the mafia was still a big deal then.
