I’m trying to find a film, but I don’t know what it is.

I’m looking for a film that is profound and mysterious, but is still clear. I really like Donnie Darko and Vanilla Sky. I watch many David Lynch films, but I’m trying to find something profound like that, but a little less abstract. I hope you understand and can help me with my BIG DILEMMA!

I saw that already and I’m looking for movies that are more profound than that.

Tideland. Astonishingly brilliant. Noone seems to understand its brilliance but me. But that’s OK. The loss of innocense is the greatest human tragedy.

I’ve seen The Seventh Seal, Midnight Cowboy and The Usual Suspects. I haven’t seen the others, but I’m not sure they are what I’m looking for. I’ll check em out anyway, but does anyone have anything else. Something science fiction like plus what I said before.

The Lives of Others

it’s a German film, based on a true story, so not really sci-fi…but really good.

I saw taxi driver and fire walk with me. I haven’t see the page turner though, I’ll look into it. You’ve been all great help, but I am still looking for that one great flick.

Ingmar Bergman has a “death trilogy” of sorts of movies exploring mortality. It was sorta mentioned. They include “Silence”, “Through a Glass Darkly”, and “The Seventh Seal”.
