hey, just my opinion. I didn't mean it as a knock on anyone, but it's just that when certain (read: arty) movies are discussed, it tends to fall in an elitist discussion, where anything Hollywood and recent sucks. I recommended those flicks because I enjoyed them, and you seem like you've seen a lot of movies (judging from your posts), but my fave movies are actually ET and Swingers, not really art-house fare, and I even saw 2 Fast 2 Furious in theater and kinda enjoyed it.
Elitism is only enjoying certain types of movies on the pretense that they are more intellectual.
