I really like Fight Club, Panic Room, Alien3 and The Game, but don't consider them to be as well-made as the first three. |

Exactly.
'Accomplished film-making' doesn't mean anything to me on its own; if a film is boring and I'm not enjoying/feeling it then I couldn't less how 'accomplished' it is technically, narratively or aesthetically or any other 'ly'.
That doesn't mean I don't take it into account, but film isn't some kind of objective medium which you can look at purely technically.
