...is not great literature or great films, but

...popular culture and some of things interesting people talk about when they're together.

Let's see what you're missing -

Dune was a fascinating book and won an important award. The movie was pretty bad, but interesting if you read the book.

LOTR were interesting books that everyone seemed to read in college - except me. The films were interesting.

Harry Potter books have been read by about every kid in the country and a lot of their parents. I suspect you have no kids at home. I read the first book - not particularly well written but have done more to encourage kids to read than all the English teachers in the US - and have seen all of the movies with my family. The last two we saw in IMAX. Intersting stuff.

Da Vinci Code was a very interesting book and was on the best seller list for at least a year. I enjoyed it, but then I like mysteries and have read many that were more poorly written. The film should be fascinating.

Hope you were spending your time reading the classics and watching foreign films.
