  I watched it as a teen and was bored out of my mind for how slow and droll it was.  I was hardly even able to pay attention to it.  It was interesting to discover later on how lauded the movie is.
  I don't necessarily have an issue with slower paced films either as long as they are well done.
  Might consider giving it a shot for a rewatch though.
context: How much of it is due to it being a product of its time vs when you watched it originally?
  It might be a movie that didn't age gracefully, or perhaps was a forebearer to modern movies, thus falls into the Seinfeld is Unfunny trope.
  Thus, judge it against its contemporaries, and not against modern cinema. >
  
  As I’ve gotten older I realized a major reason kids have trouble with older media is they lack the cultural education I had. What I mean by that is think about all the media you consume. Now imagine back when what people had access to was far more limited due to lack of the internet. What people had access to at the time was far more more homogeneous.
  This led to everyone being enveloped in a far more homogeneous media culture that was smaller than what exist today. This media culture was the foundation of older media. 
  This of course includes existing before cell phones, or having instant access to information.  Access to instant communication and information permanently changed the way humans interacted with each other that can look and feel unnatural to those who never experienced it. >
