I’ll add Altered States (1980) and Arrival (2016). It’s funny that Altered States is sometimes listed as a horror film! So many “Science Fiction” films, like Jurassic Park below, put all their ideas in the beginning, and then make me sit through a second hour of chase action. Altered States is one film and book that pursues compelling ideas from beginning to end. Meanwhile, Arrival might be the best “tone poem” this side of 2001. Putting any film in a sentence with 2001 is probably blasphemy, but you get the idea.

And while I’m at it, how about the first 1/2 of Jurassic Park (1993). I say the first half because the second half is just a chase film. Exciting & tense action if you like that sort of thing. But, like many films, all the ideas are in the first half. I love that Sam Neill’s character has spent his life piecing together tiny fragments of what long ago animals might have been like… then suddenly… after quick jet, helicopter, and jeep rides, he finds himself in the middle of a field filled with giant creatures he never dreamt he’d see. Inspiring music and glorious cinematography.
