The films that pertain to my childhood such as 'Gregory's Girl' probably wouldn't mean anything to you even though I would love for you to love them too.

I don't think a film needs universial appeal to be a great film, it's all subjective of course. And some filmmakers only want their work to appeal to certain people, there's nothing wrong with that. If I was a filmmaker I wouldn't want my work to be endlessly praised by the same pretentious critics that I can't stand, or be so overexposed that everyone grows to hate it.
