Hollywood has been chasing the success of massive blockbuster films ever since Jaws and Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope ascended to the top of the box office charts in the 1970s. It is often suggested that this is the point in which the industry made a major shift that turned away from the "New Hollywood" movement that had begun a decade earlier with Bonnie and Clyde; instead of trying to bring to life bold artistic films from noted auteurs, Hollywood was chasing films that could be the next big franchise.
However, it is possible to make widely accessible films that still have nuanced sensibilities, and can shoehorn in ambition ideas. While audiences may have had their fill of superhero movies, many of the highest grossing films in recent years are far more filled with depth than they may have initially been perceived to be. Here are ten blockbusters that feel like arthouse movies.
