The 13th floor. I liked it better than Matrix because it touched upon the ethical issues dealing with AR and potentially sentient simulated beings.

12 Monkeys. Probably my favorite time travel movie, and the trouble with fate.

Grave of the Fireflies. Probably the saddest movie ever made, touching on so many aspects of human suffering.

Lola Rennt (Run Lola Run). It's been done so many times, but not as well as here.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "The Body". The show itself was basically mindless entertainment that I almost stopped watching, UNTIL this episode. I've never been thrown so much. If you're going to experience it, you MUST watch the entire series up to and including that episode to understand why it's so powerful, and you must not read anything about that episode beforehand.



Same with -The Thirteenth Floor", one of my favourite movie, make sure you don't read any spoiler about it though.

Nexts on the list:

Moon

Ex Machina - I personally have no issue with nudity but I wish there were less of it in that movie because I know it turned a lot of people off

The Green Mile - not quite changed my view, but reinforced it

Westworld 3rd season (first 2 seasons revisit themes from above movies, they are good but not necessarily new themes)

Breaking Bad - I tend not to like series and this is a really long one, but it really does make you question things.
