Imdb classifies The Godfathers as Drama / Thriller yet I found nothing suspenseful about the movies.

It's a crime drama, but not my idea of a thriller

The movie is very long and therefore covers much area in genre categories. It mostly relates to drama but there are segments which without doubt would be classified as thrilling. Viewer interpretation varies in regard to these movies and so there would understandably be variables.
It's not a comedy and lacks action, falls short of horror and is not family oriented so Imdb has not much left to categorize it.
What's your category choice?

The original has one of my favorite suspense scenes - when Michael goes to the meeting with Solazzo and the police chief and they are talking and Michael is sitting there trying to look interested and his eyes are darting around nervously before he shoots them. A screen test of that scene is what got the unknown Pacino the part of Michael over the studio's favorite, James Caan.

I'm sure they catagorize it as "drama/thriller" to cover all possible genres, since the kind of movie it is will pretty much be left to personal interpretation. I myself see it as a drama, since so much violence occurs, especially when it's revenge for the murder of a friend or loved one.

No, it is not. While there may be thrilling moments, watering down the definition of "thriller" would make it applicable to so many movies that the label becomes uninformative.

It thrilled me. I probably wouldn't classify it as a thriller though, more of a "family" drama. lol!
