get new friends:D
It sounds cruel, but you will certainly outgrow your current friends. I was considered the wierdo at my school for my tastes, but my close friends at least tried to understand where I was coming from and,although they are still rather conservative, my influence upon them is undeniable. Think of yourself as the ambassador of new experiences to them.
As an adult my friends may not share my exact tastes, but they all share my love for film/art/music/theater/literature. I've chose to surround myself with those who can educate & challenge me.
And you need to start watching westerns! They are a core element of American cinema and you'll see the western themes in Escape from New York and other scifi/action flicks in a new light. Knowing what you like you'd probably dig Unforgiven, The Quick and the Dead, The Wild Bunch & Django for starters.
