I know I'll be accused of pretentiousness, but how about two Euro classics:
Wild Strawberries (IMO one of the best movies ever) Au Hasard Balthazar (One of the most perplexing movies I've ever seen. But if "What is a good life" is the deepest question, then this has to qualify as a deep movie.) John

First Blood (book ending was more intense and did not leave room for sequels.)

When I took high school philosophy the Star Wars movies were a big part of it (this was shortly before the prequels) because the required reading was mostly Joseph Campbell.

But Apocalypse Now isn't just a "pale shadow"; rather, an interesting interpretation very much worth seeing. Just don't buy the director's cut. I despise the director's cut. |

I think that AN is missing the "coda" at the end of THOD, a scene which I find particularly chilling:

Great excerpt, and yes, it is everything at the end of the book. If you ask me name my favourite novel, about 60% of the time, I'll say Heart of Darkness.
