I'd also like to point out that all the movies you mentioned came out before you turned 30.
The question was seminal moments for people of my generation. Whether they were seminal for YOU can largely be seen as irrelevant. I would venture that, as a rule, people born in the early 40s would ascribe far less significance to Jaws and Close Encounters than you do. Doesn't make your experience of them any less valid.
