They probably haven't seen a lot of them and may not recognize the names off the top of their head, but I have a hunch that if/when they do see them, damn each and every one is going to give them a couple little aha moments where they recognize that something else they've seen has parodied or referenced these movies, or that it's where a meme comes from.
