4. Ymir, the monster from 20 Million Miles to Earth
5. The Holy Hand Grenade

Is it still a good movie if you don't get any of the references?

You'd have to have lived under a rock for the last 30 years to not get at least a few of them. There's a lengthy sequence toward the middle that spoofs a very famous Stephen King book/film.

But even if you ripped away all of the pop culture references, it has a lot of interesting themes. As I said before, a ton of social commentary on current affairs in the digital age. It touches on so many of the very concerns that we have today with the expansion and increased reliance on the internet. A very topical film that came out at the perfect time.

I still think one of the best lines in the movie is in the opening sequences, where they suggest "you can do anything you want. Like climbing mount Everest. With Batman!"

They made a lot of changes from the book. Doing everything they might want in this movie would have been a nightmare in terms of getting the permission from the IP holders.

Iron Giant was supposed to be a giant mech used by the japanese version of Spiderman called Leopardon. (And yes, that is a thing. Japan gets weird sometimes).
http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Leopardon Kind of difficult for a WarnerBros (aka owners of DC) movie to use Disney / Marvel IP.

They did manage to get characters from Blizzard and Capcom into the movie though.

So let me get this straight. You gamers took a break from playing games to go watch a movie about playing games? ^o)

I'm not watching this thing. I've watched movies that are written around playing video games and they never pan out near what I consider as good.
