Well, as I suspected, you are at the door of discovering Fellini. One film is good start, but I think you are judging way too strongly after that one experience.Fellini's work covers incredibly broad range, from his early BW films all the way through to Intervista and Ginger and Fred, and I can only urge you to give it all your most serious consideration.
I was strongly put off by your statement to the effect that apparently the Amarcord didn't score at the top, and therefore should be bipassed. It IS an important film from a great master, and don't let a brief off-the-cuff discussion here sway you in one direction or another.
I think your comments about age only make sense if one flows with the trend, and can't look outside. Many people here don't fit that mold - many of us certainly investigated the broad world around us, even if it was quite hard to do sometimes. A person who is not locked in his era, but takes a broader view of the art from day one, is safe from falling into that trap.
Today in America there is no such climate that would encourage most young people to do so... except for the few fortunate to live near the Lincoln center. That is why it is important to spread the word around, that life is not limited to the current releases.
Anyway, best of luck in your search.
