avatar and titanicare cameron's babies, which he puts a lot of love and work into.
LotR was Jackson/Weta, another director/studio famous for loving the source material and the craft.
Toy Story 3 - pixar - another studio famous for their love of the craft
Dark Knight - the new batman films are reboots done right. A director/writer with love of the material and craft.
The pirates films and alice are admittedly cash ins, ones that worked (I must admit to being absolutely gobsmacked that alice would place so high - the film was a joke)
And please don't put words in my mouth - I never said arthouse or mentioned credibility. Films don't have to win sundance awards to be good.
I wish I could share your optimism about the new Spidey, but I fear it's going to be an abortion. It's a reboot for all the wrong reasons. Most likely inspired by the excellent batman reboot. My fears were tripled when I read they are 'making it more dark and gritty'. If ever there's a phrase you don't want to hear it's that. 'dark and gritty' should come from the material, not from studio orders. I predict more emo. Lots more.
