I feel vaguely like bats22's sister: "they don't watch Spanish world cinema! How can it be?"
Heh... funny. However, my sister would have had no idea at all about the existence of the mainstream movies, I think. I've always been amazed that she can live in NYC, and still be that willfully blind to the media saturation of billboards and bus ads all around her.
Then again, I had a moment like yours too--I was chatting with a work colleague who is pretty well educated (UT Austin/Stanford Master's), but he'd never heard for Fellini. Huh... I didn't think that most people would have heard of him, in passing.
