Do you think The Weird and Eerie is still an enjoyable read for someone who is only aware of like 1/4 of the works he discusses?
Yeah, I think so. He describes them regardless. And with the internet, it's pretty easy to tune into a clip of a movie to have a vague idea if you're truly lost.
I mean, it's 3 quid for a paper copy and probably has a free a pdf online somewhere, so if it tickles your fancy then it's a low risk to go out on a limb and read it.
That said, I don't think it's as good as Capitalist Realism.
