I just don't get the appeal.
I wish I did, because then I could talk to my friends about it (we don't have a lot of common interests), but it just doesn't do it for me. It's insanely popular and considered by many I know as a comedic masterpiece though, so it must be doing something right. Are there certain movies I should see before watching this again, or am I forever doomed to emotionally miss out on a film that everyone else seems to consider a classic?
I know the phrase, "A joke isn't funny if you have to explain it," but in this case an explanation might be necessary. So please tell me why this is so funny and why it's a sensational classic.
