Is it just me, or does Beethoven's 5th 1st Movement NEVER get old?

It's a piece of genius, really. The three short notes followed by one longer note motif is empoyed throught the movement, and it becomes infectios like a great Bach Fugue. Not only that, the same motif is used in the other 3 movements. In the second movement, it is in the major mode, and greatly elongated. In the third movement, it is the horn call near the start. In the last movement, it begains the secondary theme.
