I like some of the tragedies but the ones I watched before I actually got into opera were... not successful with me. I hadn't got used to how dumb everyone was and it was super frustrating!
Yes, Amadeus was baby!me's (well, I wasn't a baby, but I was probably too young to watch it, lol) first introduction to opera ever, although it didn't really take for, um, several more decades. That's a great idea.
I will have to do Queen of the Night! And look for other popular arias.
