Never heard of it, although the lady on the far right looks familiar.
It's the one in the middle that is famous.

Sixth Sense is the only one of those I've heard of.

You need to work on your exposure to normal things a bit more. You lack the social context that normal people have. Those are five major movies and one relatively small television show (but that ran many seasons.) The only one you know is the silly pop culture choice out of a pretty decent film selection. It doesn't take much to watch classic cinema (compared to reading a book, for example) and provides a lot of social context that most people have.

You act like I have no context to modern social interactions...

You lack huge swaths of common social context. Things like books, movies, television and video games (more recently) help form a shared social experience that people use as references, often deep ones. Lacking that shared experience means that you lack the social cues that come from them. Often, if you lack the exposure, you will also simply miss that a cue from one is made. Most people tune out those types of cues if they don't know the source material. But it means that a lot of communications is lost.

Me too. I guess we're all weirdos lacking social skills.

The thing that @scottalanmiller doesn't understand is that he is not "normal" at all in his likes and dislikes. But he also hangs out with others that have same twisted sense of what is normal.

OR.... most of you are more typical IT people and I have a more mainstream sense of literature.

You need to watch more classic cinema. One of the most important Australian movies ever.
I think I can be forgiven for missing an Australian movie...
You're terrible Muriel.

Nope. I think not.

Scott is just weird. That's all. Those are movies that "artsy" people care about (not sure about 6th Sense...) and have seen. I've seen zero of them, but I've seen a ton of movies that he hasn't, cause they're MAINSTREAM. Mainstream is listening to AC DC and Garth Brooks and eating at McDonald's. Watching some movie that was something special to some stuff-shirt in Australia and eating at gourmet Asian restaurants is not mainstream. You also can't get any more mainstream than Journey. While Coldplay may have had (or still have) big sales, from my own personal perspective, I just don't see them nearly as much of a mainstream band as some of the others listed, at least not where I am from. If you turn on a local station, you are going to hear more Journey than Coldplay, guaranteed.
