'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I loved Solaris for just that reason. Very thoughty.
Some said it was plotless, but I was really taken with the forgiveness and redemption themes.
Then again, I'm all about searching for meaning. The Dune miniseries made me come over all philosophical.
Did you think about the killing? I thought so.
Not beyond "Who's going to die next?"

What exactly do you mean by "thoughtful?"
Well, if by "thoughtful" you mean "beat-you-over-the-head-with-the-environmentalism-theme," you can include Silent Running.

Heh. Kathy gets there first.
So, nobody thinks Ice Pirates was thoughtful?

Ha -- that's exactly why I asked! (That and Equilibrium, which gets forgiven because its anvillicious "Emotions make us human! (Who knew?)" message is delivered by Christian Bale, Taye Diggs, and Emily Watson. And briefly Sean Bean.)
I'd also put the Matrix trilogy on the "thoughtful" list.
The Day the Earth Stood Still
ID4 was thoughtful....
It made you think how easy it would be to overthrow a massive alien invasion if their ships ran on MacOS.
I'd also put the Matrix trilogy on the "thoughtful" list.
The first one, certainly.
I guess by thoughtful, I mean more that there was thought put into it than anything else. Really worked on, instead of just slapped together.
