When I was in school the explanation was that the molar mass of CCl4 was so much higher and boiling points generally increas with increasing molar mass. I think the modern answer is intermolecular forces. In this case the dispersion forces for CCl4 are higher for CCl4 than for CH4 (more electrons in CCl4).
