Another one is "Minority Report". Slick, stylish, loaded with substance. It's a brilliant love letter to cinema and a beautiful exploration of the concept of projection. The photography and visual effects are wonderful. See, it begins underwater, like a precog, and has a very murky, grainy, washed out look, like a precog vision. Just as the precogs project into the future, so film projects .... and "Minority Report" is a specific projection of a possible future. The lead character played by Tom Cruise is also shown "editing" images to work out a narrative for a murder -- a lot like a film editor pieces together images to tell a story (to stress this point, there are even a pair of scissors as one of the images that Cruise is shuffling through). Pretty deep filmmaking, yet smooth enough to be enjoyed as entertainment, too.
