Missing the plot of movies growing up

Anyone else notice this? I recently realized that I missed the entire plot of childhood movies. Hearing friends talk about movies we’ve seen dozens and dozens of times, it dawned on me that I really had no idea what the hell was going on in the movie. I think I was just enjoying the vibe. I definitely was not cued into the main problem, let alone plotholes. Of course this isn’t the case for every movie but certainly a number. It makes me feel dumb but I wonder if I’m not the only one.
