My fav
1) Gattaca
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/
Is a man is truly the sum of his genes, or could his spirit somehow carry him beyond all expectations?
A excellent thought provoking science fiction movie. How much would you be willing to go and to what extent to achieve your dreams? Should man tamper with God's work, and whether the result would be a better society, or a better humanity.
2) Battle Royale ( Japan)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0266308/maindetails
Look beyond the violence, this film is a superb psychological thriller.
The movie is basically asking - how will you face up to life terrifying circumstances when it comes
- will you freeze up early on / lay down and accept your fate, will you lose control and lash out at your perceived enemies? or will you chose to fight to stay alive to the bitter end.
Life is a game so fight for survival and see if you're worth it
and could you kill your best friend?
If you like this film, do read "Stephen King - The Long Walk", the book that probably inspired Battle Royale.
3) Suicide Club (Japan)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312843/
A haunting psychological movie - either you love it or hate this movie for a crazy art film pretense.
What is your connection to yourself - your family, career, girlfriend, boyfriend, your computer or nothing. What's the thing in your life that made you want to live and not die.
This anti suicide therapy movie might just made one embrace life harder after watching.
I couldn't sleep the whole night after watching this. It heavily affected my mood.
