The problem with a lot of movies is that they focus on ticket sales and using fx for fx sake. The movies with staying power are the ones that have a vision before they are shot and stay true to it during filming. Usually they do poorly at the box office. One example is Fight Club, it didnt fare too well in theaters but I'm sure since then DVD sales have quite made up for it. Also would be very interesting to see how a re-release would fare.

Other movies that work well are based around characters and acting, so much so that the cool and interesting sets in the movies only work because they enchance the feeling of the character. These movies dont rely on showing off the latest technology or anything of the sort. Two examples of this would be Snatch and Lock Stock.
