Here are some movies that I enjoyed.
Idiocracy
An Inconvenient Truth (and its sequel) It inspired me to write a haiku version of it (with pictures).
Planet of the Apes [the first one, from about 1970]
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Inside Out
Being There
Contact
Blazing Saddles
Shape of Things to Come [1936]

Unfortunately, "Idiocracy" is a documentary.
People say that "An Inconvenient Truth" was ahead of its time. Svante Arrhenius predicted man-made global warming would become a problem, in the late 1800s. Still have to give Al a lot of credit for sounding the alarm, though.
I saw "The Planet of the Apes" for the first time at an all-nite POTA film festival at a drive-in theater in Northern Ill. when I was in high school. But, because I was there with my new girlfriend at the time, I didn't actually see much of it.
I've never seen "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo". I'll have to check it out.
I haven't seen "Inside Out". But I've seen "Sideways", "Bottoms Up", "Upside Down", and "Up the Down Staircase". Does that count?
Sellers' character in "Being There", seems to remind me of a much less malevolent version of a real life D.C. figure .... hmm, I wonder who?
"Contact" features David Morse in a small role as Jodie Foster's Dad. He's one of the finest character actors out there, IMHO.
"Blazing Saddles": One of the greatest comedies of all time and there's no way you could make it today. I love all of Mel Brooks' films!
"Shape of Things to Come". Never seen it. Will watch.

Some good ones there. Really enjoyed "Contact" especially the ending!
