  How about “slow” films?

  For example

  The Brutalist

  Killers Of The Flower Moon

  Gone With The Wind

  The Souvenier

  Ect ect

  Films that really only Film lovers like the general audience may not be interested

    general audience may not be interested

    Gone With The Wind AKA the highest-grossing film ever when adjusted for inflation

      Yeah, but I’ll agree that TODAY’S general audience is not that interested.

      Another thing is that whats popular now is much more split up than it used to be.

    “Slow” is fine as long as the story’s decent and/or it’s visually interesting. Haven’t seen any of the movies you mentioned, but stuff like the original “Solaris” or “Fantastic Planet” work for me.

    You don’t have to force yourself to watch movies you don’t enjoy because all the cool kids do it.

    That being said, lots of those types of movies have tons of things to pay attention to in terms of direction, acting, set, framing, all the technical actions like panning, zoom, tracking. If you learn that “language” then there’s a ton of interesting things in any given scene. Do you enjoy that sort of thing?
