People are more interested in loosing themselves in movies that you just sit back and follow, like riding a rollercoaster. There is really nothing wrong with that, I have gone to movies for that reason too… but more often than not, I will look for these little movies that do not make it big. Movies like: The Station Agent, The Spanish Prisoner, Event Horizon, etc… All good movies, but not for the reason that people like to go to the movies. Good because you cannot relax and let them happen, good because you have to actively pay attention. Quinten Tarantino is like that as well. If you do not pay attention in movies like Pulp Fiction or Four Rooms, then you miss quite a bit.
