Film is an amazing genre. Yes, there are some films, made under the guise of 'art' that are fairly atrocious [ "Quest for Fire" is probably one of the best/worst ], but I don't think any of the films listed in this thread are 'artsy fartsy' - and I've seen around 85% of what's listed here.

I'm genuinely sorry to hear your attitude is going to prevent you from seeing some things that might have interested / excited / motivated you.
No matter, Fast and Furious 4 is coming out soon!

Edit: If anyone is still reading this thread, three of the most beautiful 'artsy fartsy' movies I've seen are:

In the mood for love
2046
White Countess

All have extended scenes in Chinese, xenophobes can skip this post now ;)
