1) Ground Hog's Day - this qualifies as the favorite film for a whole bunch of different spiritual and religious organizations including, Christinas, Jews and Buddhist.  For me its the idea of the eternal return; until we achieve mastery in the earthly dimension.  Then we get off the wheel of reincarnation and go onto a new day.

2) Citizen Kane (Orson Wells)  - Structurally one of the most innovative projects Hollywood has ever undertaken.  A young and brillaint Orson Wells stars and directs this clasic American drama of small town boy with big dreams.  Even though Wells was semi portaying the life of William Randolf Hearst, it also became an ironic comment on his on rise success and fall in the eyes of the public.

3) Andre Rublev (Russian epic) - This long epic of an icon painter is seen against some historic turning points in the mother Russia's history, including the raid of the Huns.  After 205 minutesyou are so immersed in Rublev's life you feel you have lived it.
