What do you consider a great film?

>the way many high minded films challenge them.

Sure.

But what do you call high minded? Is Taxi Driver high minded? What about Shortbus? Amelie?

Hell, many people don't even want to be bothered reading sub-titles.

Sure.

I think it would be interesting to know what people in this thread consider to be a, I don't know, high brow movie.

Is it just a foreign film? Or any movie that doesn't specifically include a healthy serving of either excessive gore and/or dick and fart jokes?
