Doesn't seem like anyone has replied to this one in a while, but I'm eighteen.  And, I suppose, been an avid film nerd since I was about 14, from which I progressed from watching "Nightmare on Elm Street" with my friends to the works of Atom Egoyan.  I'm relatively happy that such films as Crouching Tiger, Amelie, and Brotherhood of the Wolf have gotten people around my age-group more interested in foriegn cinema, but as much as they may like those films, I can't see them sitting down and watching an Ingmar Bergman, or Francois Truffaut film.
