Really good movies appeal to different audiences at different levels, if you're looking just for pure action, funny lines, you may find it there, and if you're looking for a deep story, you may find it there as well. So in theory, there needn't be a contradiction between a wide audience and an awesome movie.

Admittedly, these movies are hard to come by, Drive (2011) would be one of them for me, although there must be a more recent one I can't think of now.
