Yes. Snatch and Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels were the ones I had in mind. Similar type of humour presented in a much more understated way.

Yeah those too. I'd expect most of those movies to be movies that most people have seen.
At least most people of the sort who watches a lot of movies.

Blade Runner and Alien are some of my favorite movies.
I probably like Prometheus and Alien: Covenant more than most too.
That had their flaws but eh... whatever.



That whole mid section of Covenant where David is acting like and oddball: Loved it!

You'd be surprised by just how many people I know in real life who haven't seen Alien.

You just can't beat the racist (no I'm not just using the term lightly), coked out midget scene. I'm a huge fan of the use of motifs in the movie, which will probably be a little more apparent on further viewings.

If it's mostly people over 40-45 or so, I wouldn't find it unusual. If they're younger than that, then what have they been doing with their lives?
I think most people I know under that age must have seen it.

One odd thing though: I have this PC gamer friend who's 30, a big fan of anything Deus Ex or cyberpunk and also that Blade Runner PC game. He hadn't ever seen the actual Blade Runner movie until last year... I had to pester him to watch it, and then he just said he thought it was boring. I didn't even know what to say to him!

You forgot funny as hell. Also extremely moving at times.

Spoiler for I welled up big time.:
The scene in the playground when Ken was supposed to "hit him", but couldn't when he realized how devastated Ray was, and then Ray completely breaks down.... destroys me every ****ing time.

While poignant in terms of character development, I see that scene as more hilarious than anything because of the irony of it all.
