![]() | Amadeus - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $6.50 This movie was well deserving of its Oscar. Excellent character studies, a look at genius vs. mediocrity, and jealousy. Also deals with call, gifting, and persecution. Plus, a songwriter like myself just loved the music in the story.

![]() | Batman (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $5.99 This movie was very effective psychologically, making one wonder what is normal and sane.
|
![]() | Blade Runner - The Director's Cut (Remastered Limited Edition)
Buy used from: $3.51 The ending of this movie (the original, not the director's cut) really moved me. The director's cut was also thought provoking.
|
![]() | Casualties of War (Unrated Extended Cut)
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $2.57 This movie really makes one think about why different people do bad things, and whether one should overlook when a person who has saved your life does bad things.
|
![]() | Chariots of Fire (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.99 / Used from: $13.49 My all-time favorite movie. Strong message. Very Inspirational. While Eric Liddell is a great role model and Harold Abrams is an excellent character study, I really relate to Aubrey Montague.
|
![]() | A Clockwork Orange
Buy used from: $5.49 While there were parts that bothered me, I also saw interesting themes in this movie, such as freedom of choice, wages of sin, and a picture of a world without forgiveness.
|
![]() | Facing the Giants (Widescreen)
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $3.94 This movie was a very encouraging movie, very inspirational.
|
![]() | Gandhi (Widescreen Two-Disc Collector's Edition)
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.22 This movie was very effective in promoting non-violent resistance as a solution, as opposed to violence. Very inspring.
|
![]() | Gorky Park
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $4.13 This movie reminded me of Blade Runner: A violent R-rated movie that had an ending that I found almost inspirational. The final footage was wonderful and expressive.
|
![]() | JFK - Director's Cut (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy used from: $8.99 In this movie, I agreed with the jury that Clay Shaw was not guilty, but the movie did a great job of convincing me there was merit to the conspiracy theory in this case.
|
![]() | Missing
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.39 This is included not because I agree with the anti-American message, but because of its effectiveness. Jack Lemmon and Cissy Spacek deserved their Oscar nominations for this picture.
|
![]() | The Mission (Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $20.49 / Used from: $12.30 Excellent contrast of two forms of action against evil -- one aggressive and the other passive. Irons and DeNiro shine in this picture.
|
![]() | Never Cry Wolf
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $9.62 This helped me see the role of predators. Very insightful.
|
![]() | Schindler's List (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $7.93 Spielberg's pop films helped prepare him for this classic, award winning picture. It is definitely one that applauds mercy and compassion, and applauds sacrifice in the name of said mercy.
|
![]() | The Second Chance
Buy new: $6.99 / Used from: $3.45 A challenging film for one to go deeper in their faith.
|
![]() | To Kill a Mockingbird (Universal Legacy Series)
Buy new: $16.00 / Used from: $11.54 One movie that needs to be on the list; if someone has not put it on their list, they must not have seen it.
|
![]() | 12 Angry Men (1957) ( Twelve Angry Men ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.4 Import - Australia ]
Buy used from: $24.69 This was an excellent movie about jury deliberations. Henry Fonda was the star, but the cast was great, with each of the twelve jurors being memorable.
|
![]() | Wag the Dog (New Line Platinum Series)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $2.36 Unnecessary cussing, but a good look at how you may not trust what you are being told by the media.
|
![]() | X-Men (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.00 This movie presents two methods of fighting prejudice -- either fighting the bigotry (Professor Xavier and his disciples) or fighting the bigots (Magneto and friends). Ending is extremely effective.
|
![]() | X2 - X-Men United (Two-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy used from: $0.01 A better development on the theme of fighting prejudice. Also, one interesting discussion on appearance between Nightcrawler and Mystique.
|
![]() | X-Men - The Last Stand (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $0.59 This movie effectively deals with the freedom of choice. Also, I like how it deals with Rogue and with the Ice-Man/Pyro relationship, plus Warren's relationship with his father.
