Pinbacker is eternally obsessed with God and God's Will. God's plan. He's not a "creationist" so much as he is a "destructionist" -- The eradication of human kind is the will of The Lord and Man has neither right nor place to challenge that will.
Okay, so, back on topic --
My "favorite" ten, or so, vary depending on the day and my mood. Today's top three?
3. 28 Days Later
2. The Matrix
1. Pulp Fiction
1. The Iron GiantI had never heard of it when I started watching it on TV by chance, dIdn't even know what movie it was. Thought it was just some generic Disney stuff, at first. I was a bit positively surprised and impressed. Great film.

You're kidding, right? The last forty-five minutes was a brilliant allegory of the oppressive nature of zealotry and religion in relation to science.That doesn't make it good. It took the film from a suspenseful drama into some default slasher flick. Also, did you know the actor who played Pinbacker, Mark Strong, is Archie in RocknRolla? You and anyone else who knows the IMDb will know, but i'm still kind of shocked.

Anyway, same list as last time this thread was around:
1. The Matrix
2. Battle Royale
2. A Better Tomorrow
No particulary order some of my favorites
Pulp Fiction
Dark Knight
Wanted(just as a action movie balls to the wall not story)
Transformer(Beast wars fan til I die plain and simple)
Bourne Ultimatum(this and other bourne movies are some of my tops)
Spiderman 1 (I dont even want to talk about the 3rd one midnight release was more than a letdown)
Butterfly Effect
Theres others I will feel horrible for forgetting but whatever
A "default slasher flick" ignores the ideas of allegory, metaphor, and symbolism by definition. Clearly, this doesn't.
The film does spin abruptly towards the abstract, but the God vs Science metaphor is threaded deeply into the mythos of that final act. It's a riveting collision of the morality of the first acts and the deterministic philosophy of the opposing meta-forces.
Dude, The Matrix is your favorite film, so I'm expecting you to put a little effort into the analysis of the film. Sunshine was not a wide-release, and therefore, it wasn't a big-budget, macho, action/sci-fi flick (nor was it trying to be). Danny Boyle is not Eli Roth. He has something to say, even if he isn't willing to spell it out for the viewer.
A common criticism of Danny Boyle is that his films' final acts are awkward tangents that spiral away from the crux of the original plot. This is completely, utterly incorrect. The final act in a Boyle film has everything to do with the theme of the movie.
