Do you want a list of films that could be considered “high” art?

That’s what I was going for. While we could debate the artistic merits of the
explosion scene of the 2nd floor of the building in ‘Die Hard’(1), I was
wondering what people would truly consider ‘art flick’ from Hollywood (a.k.a.
America).

1- my friend keeps his ‘top 10’ list of the best explosions in movies. The 2nd
floor in “Die Hard” and the ESB in “Independence Day” are pretty much ranking up
there.
There’s a topic--they make these wonderfully action packed, dazzling special
effects movies and then they wimp out on the ending--“Demolition Man” was great
with the explosions and such, but right at the very end when the building ‘gits
blowed up real good’--looked like it was done by 1st year college film students.
As well, “ID4”--spectacular effects then the mother ship blows up at the
end--uugh! Piss poor job on effects there.
