I'm not really certain what ratings or types of films you're interested in. I'm steering away from R ratings as much as possible.

Is film art? Yes... If you look at film in a really broad sense of the medium, film is a series of carefully constructed images to generate meaning and emotion. I am of the opinion that Hollywood cinema goes about trying to wow its audiences with big special effects and comparitively dumbed down storylines. I say comparititively because art-house cinema in particularly can generate a much greater fulfillment of emotional connection and demands a much more educated eye to watch it. This all comes down to the way Hollywood has operated since the 1st world war, where profit is everything. It is like a machine, churning out films for the masses. Art-house cinema in comparison cannot compete with Hollywood in terms of scale and budget, so it has to be more creative. A films purpose can be classed in many different ways, from escapism, to political propoganda, entertainment or education. Is mainstream cinema dumbing down the masses... Perhaps, but only through some subject matters. I think TV should be blamed for dumbing down the masses, film demands a viewers attention for a prolonged period of time and so, in my opinion has a beneficial, impacting affect on its audience. hope this helps

BBC tv and feature films are positively quality films.
British comedies "The Life of Brian", etc.
Movies based on Jane Austin books are great romances. "Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth and the newest with Matthew MacFadyen and Keira Knightly - swoon
Seek out Stephen Poliakoff, director and writer, films - good profiles of people and their relationships.
Spike Lee films.
"Blowout" John Travolta
"Robocop"
History: Elizabeth I
Films based on C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien books.
Anything with Russell Crowe, Samuel Jackson, Rene Zellwegger, Denzel Washington, Harrison Ford, Emma Thompson, Juliet Binoche, Catherine Deneuve
A Must-See - LOVE ACTUALLY Colin Firth, Keira Knightley,
Hugh Grant, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Liam
Neeson, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, Bill Nighy
and others
How's that for a start?

Romi and Michele's High School Reunion. Funny.
Almost Famous. Excellent story and it's true!! it is not at all scary but it's real life like love story.
And Garden State had its entertaining moments too!
Little Miss Sunshine was also funny and odd!

If you want the complete opposite of a romantic comedy, but still a very unique love story, I would suggest:
"Closer"
with Jude Law, Clive Owen, Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman. All shot in beautiful London.
-One of my most favourite films.
