I read The Hobbit as an assignment in college and found it tedious and simplistic. It turned me off of Tolkien before I could give him a fair shake. I've caught a lot of flak from friends for never having read LOTR. Maybe I should someday. Like you say, The Hobbit was geared towards a younger readership.
In terms of movies, I've never seen The Exorcist, Back to the Future (none of them), or Jaws. That tends to surprise people. Maybe when I get tired of rewatching Ichi the Killer I'll finally give them a gander.
