Yo Ibrahim,
I think. You may have shown him the wrong subjects. I'll explain my thoughts.
Sirius while impress to the astronomically minded, is just a bright star to everyone else. They won't know its a binary star system with a really faint companion that difficult to see and makes the hunt worth while.
Jupiter. Well even I don't find Jupiter to be THAT impressive generally. But, I blame atmospheric conditions. My 67 year old Mother and Father on the other hand will alwayss leave the comfort of our house to take a look at it. But, because they know what it is and how far away it is they are not disappointed by any view in any of my telescopes of Jupiter.
M42 is a bright nebula. The reason why we appreciate it is because we know how much fainter, pretty much every other nebula is. So we appreciate how much detail we can see. But, someone who does not understand probably wont appreciate what a marvel it is.
Objects that I find that always get a WOW and impresses, even me, without fail are open star clusters, globular clusters and similarly bright binary star systems. OK Globular's are difficult to see from the city. But, open star clusters and binary stars are easy. Another thing with regards to these objects. They looks fairly similar to the pictures.
