I was taken the cinema to see this as a child, and loved it. I still love it, but as time goes by it seems more and more of an anachronism. Kids still love it, even if they don't understand about middle and upper class children routinely being handed over to servants to be brought up, or about chimney sweeps (what's a chimney, you ask?!), or about the level of social and political division in early 20th century England. But you don't need to be a mobster to enjoy The Godfather, do you!
