If we really want to dedicate some time, I say we do it right and watch The Decalogue or the Colors Triliogy -also called Red, White and Blue -both directed by Polish film maker Krzysztof Kieślowski. The Decolague are a set of films based off of each of the Ten Commandments. These films are WONDERFUL, but they're the equivalent of asking a book club to read Moby Dick.

I love you, TNG. I'm a huge film buff and the Three Colors and Dekalog are some of my favorite films of all time. Nobody inspires me like Kieslowski. I have the Criterion of Three Colors, so I put my vote in for these. None are too long or esoteric for the average viewer, and the payoff is great for them and for the art film lovers. Which of the three is your favorite, by the way? I can never decide. It all depends on my mood, but I find myself watching White so often.
It's been almost 10 years since I've seen these films, but I do recall loving all of them quite a bit. As to which one I like the most? I'm honestly not sure. This is why I'd be more than happy to watch them again. It will seem like a new experience.
Totally down for Daises or one of Colors Trilogy films
Second The Colors Trilogy, specifically Red, just because I have it but haven't seen it.
