Mary May,
I think it all really depends on the age, the background of a person and many other factors. For instance, I didn't use to watch a lot of films as a child, so I haven't seen many Russian films that are considered to be 'our treasure trove' or saw them when I was an adult. Thus, every time my colleagues start discussing those films/quotes, I feel like I'm from Mars.

She has three Olympic golds in artistic swimming and because of "Слабое звено" on Channel One Russia she was like a household name back in the early 2000s.

QwestDay, I have to disappoint (?) you, but I've hardly heard of it. And definitely haven't watched it.
Juliemiracle,
Yes. I remember (yes, I do remember something), I was taking an online quizz - sth like, "Is Russian your mother tongue?" And I'd been doing quite well while it'd been all abt language and classics and until they turned to quotes from films that everyone born here is supposed to know...
Well, I failed the test and was exposed as a spy "понаехавший".
Yet, I do believe that my Russian is... quite decent.
Eager Beaver,
Not in my household, obviously )

I, too, sometimes feel left out when my friends discuss movies. However, a couple of minutes into the discussion and I get to realize that I haven't missed anything by not watching. :)Juliemiracle пишет: ↑06 июл 2019, 15:41 Mary May,

There is a huge cultural reference body that most typical Russians are supposed to know. This is what is used in the test similar to the one you took. I can assure you, you are not alone (I've been pigeonholed as понаехавший too). I haven't watched a single episode of Дом 1-2-N and when someone mentions Не родись красивой, the only thing that springs to mind is this Finnish polka. :)

Hype is a great marketing tool..Дом 1-2-N

by reading Harry Potter and watching "Friends"
as their main source of knowledge ))
