Sensible hollywood movies?!!

Can there REALLY be!! After watching movies like MI3 (here is what my friend thinks of the movie) and very recently The hills have eyes, you'd think VERY UNLIKELY. But joking aside, I have actually watched a few outstanding movies.

Everyone must have watched Crash by now, and if you liked that then you'll really like American Dreamz. It is a satire about America and shows like American Idol (there is also an Indian Idol now grrr...). I felt it was a lighter version of Crash and I really liked it. The other movie I really liked was Thank you for smoking, which is about the spokesperson for the tobacco industry. These movies though funny are also a little cynical and really gets the point across.

Eventhough it is not a big-budget hollywood movie and doesn't belong here, I also liked Primer. What I really liked about it is that it is about a couple of engineers, and so few movies are. It is as if WE are completely ignored by pop culture. Here is a comic from phdcomics on the topic.

Guess you get some idea about how my "research" is going now.
