Chariots of Fire is an art house flick?

Although I have a similar criticism of films "Made for Oscar Consumption."
See:
A Beautiful Mind
Million Dollar Baby
Crash
Mystic River
Whoever watches that crud again?

What's wrong with a movie just being a featured performance? The Oscars are about awarding the best of the year, not what will be mostly fondly remembered 20 years from now.

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. I guess it depends on what you mean by art house movies. It kind of sounds like you are claiming that sophisticated and complex movies aren't worth the time or any good. It just sounds kind of stupid.

I would agree with this. It's manipulative mass market crap oftentimes with a shallow phony agenda, and really just generally really bad, insincere art.

anyone want to tell me that "capote" was nothing more than a film made to feature a performance?
I thought it was about the writing of In Cold Blood? I think this movie is probably more enjoyable if you've seen In Cold Blood. It kind works as a companion piece to it.

You are referring to "Oscar bait" movies. Those are not art house flicks.

Wait, is A Beautiful Mind a movie that everyone is supposed to hate? I love that movie.

It isn't about "liking" or "hating" a film, it's about the idea of the film being constructed simply to win an award (consequently that means some people dislike it immensely, yes. See Crash).
I just feel like, even if the first draft was good, that the people involved in making A Beautiful Mind sat around a table and debated film elements as they relate to "Award Season," rather than "Good narrative." It just feels.... overproduced? Maybe that's the wrong word.... empty, but well produced? I don't know.

And it's why they don't resonate. They don't last, and they'll always suck. "Doubt" being a great example.
Yes, Oscar bait is more fitting, but I'm annoyed at art house flicks being predominately featured

I get what you are saying. Out of Africa sucked balls and definitely does not stand the test of time - and was an Academy Award Winner.
Amadeus would be considered art house - but It's awesome. I do own a copy of it.

Doubt is a great film. I probably watch it once a year, which is on par with most movies of yesteryear that I'm fond of.
I'll watch Michael Clayton at any given opportunity and never get tired of it.

I see what your saying. But who wouldn't make a movie hoping it wins awards.
Worse are films just constructed simply to make money.

People will be watching Saving Private Ryan in 100 years and I've never come across Shakespeare In Love on TV in my entire life.

That's a great example
It's a visual medium. if it doesn't last, it wasnt the best
