Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky, Hawthorne, Mozart, Raphael, Bergman, Tarr, Wong (Kar-wai). These great artists' works can be enjoyed by modestly educated people, though the more one knows of literature, film, and music, the greater the enjoyment.

The US is just one country, English but one language. The world has provided us with dozens of great directors and film artists who have created immortal works. But, one has to leave pretension at the door.

Champagne or beer? No. Both. Just because one cannot appreciate bubbly doesn't mean one who does is a snob or elitist.
