Not every movie has to be some benchmark achievement. Ordinary People is the only one of the 3 movies you mention that I think is great. Far From Heaven is only slightly below Terms of Endearment and The Ice Storm in terms of quality for me.
I will settle for nothing less than great. 
Yes, there are in-betweens, but my point was, if the film isn't resonating with me on a dramatic level, I would rather go and watch one that does, that I know will satisfy. Of course taste in film and opinion is all subjective.
Ordinary People, Terms of Endearment, Far From Heaven and The Ice Storm all resonate with me on a dramatic level.
