Name a movie that you found to be "surprisingly good."

Gattaca. Friend made me watch it years ago, ended up becoming one of my favorites of all time. I think it was what really made me think about something outside the box for the first time in my life.

In "the not-too-distant" future, where genetic engineering of humans is common and DNA plays the primary role in determining social class, Vincent (Ethan Hawke) is conceived and born without the aid of this technology. Suffering from the nearly eradicated physical dysfunctions of myopia and a congenital heart defect, as well as being given a life expectancy of 30.2 years, Vincent faces extreme genetic discrimination and prejudice. The only way he can achieve his life-long dream of becoming an astronaut is to break the law and impersonate a "valid", a person with appropriate genetic advantage.

Dogma!

I hate anything to do with religion.
I don't really care for 'stoner' types.

But, this movie is now one of my favorites.

It's hard to explain why, but when Jay was swearing at the god-babe and she kissed him, that was the point when it 'reached' me.

I re-watch every time it's on cable.
