    Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

    1. Not just a great war movie, but also a cinematic masterpiece.

    “12 Angry Men” (1957) is a personal favorite that I recommend to pretty much everyone. Great messages about questioning assumptions, challenging biases, understanding the limitations of evidence, acknowledging imperfections in the justice system, and the consequences thereof.

    The movie is also cinematically interesting to me because it feels “small”. The entire movie just about takes place in one room, and the events of the film transpire over the course of one afternoon.

      Bold of you to assume we’ll be able to cooperate long enough to transport all of humanity off planet

      Idiocracy is a funny movie that I enjoy. However I’m disturbed by the number of people who say it’s a documentary, or a warning. That’s because the central premise of the movie (that humans breed wrong and if nothing is done, we’ll devolve and society will collapse) also happens to be the central premise of Eugenics.

        Hey, at least in Idiocracy, once they determined the guy to be smarter than everyone else, at least they put him in charge of things…

          They did try to kill him first. Several times…

        Honestly, I’m kind of put off watching the movie due to those weird eugenicsy undertones… Feels like one of those “i am very smart” Reddit people looking down on the “lesser masses” and saying they shouldn’t reproduce.
