Oh, little titles like Goodfellas, The Departed, The Aviator, Casino, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street... You know, cute little projects you've probably never heard of

Boru
Who are you to say it is?
If you're willing to consider smeared shit as art, maybe it's no wonder movies like The Avengers are so popular.

But they’re basically like a really good Amusement ride, fun while they last, but don’t linger in your mind much afterwards.
The sort of Cinema Scorsese has in mind in the sort of great Cinema, in which you walk the shoes of the character, whose ideas and images can stay with you a lifetime, like Ikiru, or the Gospel According to Saint Mathew (by an atheist nonetheless).
I agree that they're good for what they are and they fit in the lane they occupy... but I wish there was more of a push by the general public to see quality film making instead of recycled, though impressive, CGI and explosions.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
