I was so thoroughly entranced by this movie, from beginning to end, that I had lost all track of time by the time it was over. Aside from exploring the tentative and, at times, hostile relationship between religion and science, the story left me feeling very small and insignificant and fascinated by all of the possibilities of human, extraterrestrial and beyond-the-grave connections.

Ok I know this movie is old but it still is so good. Jodie Foster is super but it for sure will make you cry. (via amazon.com)
