I voted "I'm Not Sure" because i find it too hard to define what "arthouse" is. I tend to think of it as a movie going for look and substance then overall box office success. Something that plays to smaller movie theater audience then a big budget/thousand+ screens for an opening weekend to rake in the money. So what i would consider art house would be something like Elephant and Gerry (both by Gus Van Sant) No big stars and just something different then the average big budget action/drama/horror/comedy. It has no real plot to it but a journey to follow from beginning to end.

Do i like these movies? Some i do but i don't see myself watching them again and again like say Batman Begins. They are nice to see once but like most art museums i await the next new exhibit to show up to see.
