For me yes and no...

...I would say that the best films are nutritious both itellectually and emotionally. But I can also appreciate a film that leans strongly in an intellectual direction as long as it has some kind of conceptual intensity and hold its ideas together well. I've found that I can have a visceral reaction to films that really come at me hard intellectually. It's like lhe intensity of their thought itself causes an emotional reaction due to their directness and lack of dilution with which the ideas are delivered. Alain Resnais' "Mon Oncle D'amerique" and some of Greenaway's films are useful examples of this.
