I just remember listening through the ABBA Gold album at least a dozen times growing up! I had a short, but significant ABBA phase. Besides, Mamma Mia was their music, but I can't hold them accountable for the acting, etc.

That movie is awesome.

How can you love Abba and skip the Abba musical?

It's been more than a decade since I went through my ABBA phase.

That sounds like a Muriel's Wedding problem.

You need to watch more classic cinema. One of the most important Australian movies ever.

I think I can be forgiven for missing an Australian movie...

Not really. It's a standard of classic 90s cinema. As mainstream in US cinema going as in Australia. Spawned a pretty major Hollywood actress. Published by Miramax (Disney.)

Never heard of it, although the lady on the far right looks familiar.
It's the one in the middle that is famous.

Sixth Sense is the only one of those I've heard of.

You need to work on your exposure to normal things a bit more. You lack the social context that normal people have. Those are five major movies and one relatively small television show (but that ran many seasons.) The only one you know is the silly pop culture choice out of a pretty decent film selection. It doesn't take much to watch classic cinema (compared to reading a book, for example) and provides a lot of social context that most people have.

You act like I have no context to modern social interactions...

You lack huge swaths of common social context. Things like books, movies, television and video games (more recently) help form a shared social experience that people use as references, often deep ones. Lacking that shared experience means that you lack the social cues that come from them. Often, if you lack the exposure, you will also simply miss that a cue from one is made. Most people tune out those types of cues if they don't know the source material. But it means that a lot of communications is lost.
