Most Spiritually Significant Films

Here are the movies that Relevant Magazine named, "The Most Spiritually Significant Films of the Last 10 Years" They define that as films that transcend entertainment and speak to deep truths...
  • Oh Brother, Where Art Thou
  • Big Kahuna
  • American History X
  • Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
  • American Beauty
  • Crash
  • The Green Mile
  • No Country For Old Men
  • The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  • The Royal Tenenbaums

I don't think there are any that I specifically disagree with, but I don't remember being that struck by the themes in "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou". And I haven't seen "Big Kahuna", "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly", or "No Country for Old Men". But the first two are going on my Netflix list now.

Here are the movies I would add to this list (some might be older than 10 years)...

  • Fight Club
  • Into the Wild
  • Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • Magnolia
  • September Dawn

I thought it would be interesting to get opinions from all of you. Do you agree with the list? What movies would you add or take off?
