Movies That Aren't as Pretentious as You Think

The definition of pretentious is attempting to impress by affecting greater importance or talent than is actually possessed. In the world of film many directors and films are given this label when audiences feel the material is heavy handed, or in most cases when a director overindulges in their certain style or motifs.
These so called pretentious films can be looked at as lesser or lacking artistic value because of their pretentiousness. But in some cases there are reasons for overindulgences and artistic flourishes, usually because a director has a point to get across, or they are trying to further along the story through stylistic motifs rather than using dialogue. These are ten unpretentious films that really have a lot to offer.
