[Sculpt]

I strongly support these films:

1. Groundhog Day - Man repeats the same day in a time loop until he understands what's important & lasting; a beautiful, smart, existential, funny film. American Film Institute voted 8th Best Fantasy Film All-time.
2. Yellow Submarine - mind blowing existential film, with amazing psychedelic animation, sci-fi symbolism on evil, fear, knowledge, psychology and of course LOVE; Beatles & original music. A moving experience.
3. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey - a truely spectacular sci-fi film where two lazy best friends go through death, Hell, challenge the Grim Reaper, not to a a game of chess (ode to The Seventh Seal), but to games of Battleship, Clue, vibration football and Twister, then go to Heaven, meet God and Einstien, go back to Earth and save their fiancées from evil Bill & Ted robots, where they learn "We've been to the past. We've been to the future. We've been all around the afterlife. The best place to be, is here. The best time to be, is now." Amazing visual inventions & special effects, a great mix of high & low brow humor, very touching. Has to be seen to be believed. Roger Ebert wrote, " "It's the kind of movie where you start out snickering in spite of yourself, and end up actually admiring the originality that went into creating this hallucinatory slapstick."
4. Gandhi - the story of how Gandhi became and developed the peaceful protest of non-resistence (later used by Martin Luther King) to free India from British colonial rule. Nominated Best Picture.
5. Annie Hall - immensely engaging & funny film with excellent pacing. Hard film to describe. Won Best Picture.
6. Broadcast News - beautifully written story of conflicts between attraction, friendship and compatibility. Nominated Best Picture.
7. Crash - Well crafted film where acts of coldness, harshness, racism lead to more acts of harm & death; and each act of kindness and love leads directly peace, resolution, love & life. Won Best Picture.
8. Dances With Wolves - beautiful big screen film of man leaving the absurdities, chaos & violence of Western like during Civil War and finding the loveliness of living within a Sioux tribe & nature. Won Best Picture.
