After yesterday’s post, I thought I should also mention some of the movies I’ve loved (often in spite of substantial flaws) because they’re the opposite of movies like “The Road:” they affirm the redemptive potential of humanity and often hint at the presence of a spiritual consciousness, if not an outright God.
As much as it killed me, I left out obvious winners like “Crash” and “Once,” movies everyone has already seen and agrees are wonderful. These are largely little-known gems that blew me away. Enjoy! And if you want more, we can be Netflix buddies and you can peruse all 1600 of my ratings. :)
