I'm lumping "Atonement" into that category.....an elegant lie of a film. *

... I had the distinct intuition about it that you state here. "An elegant lie". I don't care to see it at all.

  Its very well done, intelligent, visually sophisticated and multilayered.
  
  merchant-Ivory it is not. Joe Wright is the real deal.

    what point you're trying to convey to me.
    Respects for your opinion regarding the quality and character of the film. I take it you've seen it and speak out of that experience.
    Of course. Why see a movie unless expecting to enjoy it for your own reasons, on your own terms?
    Like you I watch 150-200 films per year. I may see Atonement someday. Right now there are 200+ in queue. A quick judgement based on the trailer works for me.
    Got any suggestions that are not in the mainstream? A quick look in archives will show you my taste.
    Cheers.
