Uplifting movies

[Jessie]

OK I HAVE TO HAVE MY SAY. Being a graduate of with a media & theater arts degree I saw A LOT OF MOVIES in collage some of very odd movies that no ever sees. One I liked is

La Cité des enfants perdus
(The City of Lost Children)


A very odd by intersting movie such is simualr to Dark City.
I also love Spider-Man 2 so much more than first one do it's great story.
I liked the amercian version of Godzilla I know many people don't but I did.
The complet Lord of the Ring series one the best set movies I have ever seen. NOt only for it's story for the pur beauty of middle earth.

There or so many more movies I love. The Hunt for Red October (I met the directer while in collage) The Matrix Movies.

BUT the one I have to say is the best of the last efw Years is ....


Do you agree?

Hi all,

Hmmm... many of the movie choices here are intriguing.

City of Lost Children, Jessie? I also liked that film. I'm a big fan of dark dystopias (1984, Brazil, Dark City, The Matrix, THX-1138, Soylent Green, Blade Runner, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ) but I don't know if I'd call them "uplifting," in the sense Rebecca mentioned in her first post in this thread. Many of these cautionary tales are thought-provoking, to be sure; maybe, in that sense, they are uplifting, I guess. They make you reflect and ponder. Still, I personally find them a little bit dry, emotionally.

Rebecca,

Careful what you love... the ghosts of the Belascos are apt to come looking for you! "For the sake of your sanity, pray it isn't true." Isn't Roddy McDowell just grand? The film came out in 1973. It was written by one of my favourite authors, Richard Matheson.

Love,
CJ
