Perhaps not so much that, as unpretentious. Mere time-fillers. Like so many TV shows today.Trouble now is, most every movie thinks it's Big Time. How some of those scripts ever get the green light, astonishes me. I expect that it's the "little films" (like Station Agent or Spring Forward) that will become the hits of the future.

Follow Ups:
Clark,Classic films are by their statistical nature, sparse, a classic
being considered an artistic work of enduring value,excellence,
merit,etc. How long is considered enduring? 10,20,30,40,50 years?
Films were in infancy 100 years ago.
Maybe 20 years might be a good starting point? If so, then films
younger than that under consideration might be termed 'tentative classics'.
Just speculation. Your thoughts? ~AH
I would respectfully suggest that a classic is one in which it's popularity outlives it's initial audience. For example, "Casablanca" is a classic because it continues to have an audience despite the fact that even though it's original audience is gone, it is entertaining future generations.
