I think you're missing the tone of my original post. Remember that adjacent to saying I wouldn't recommend watching Grave of the Fireflies to someone, I said that 2001: A Space Odyssey was a painful experience and that you should pick your spots for Raise the Red Lantern.

These weren't reviews of the movies as they should be but reviews of the movies as they were enjoyed, with people.

If, however, you and I were going to sit down for a pensive night of soul searching, I would have no issue with exploring any of the depths of the human condition be them by movie or book or star-gazing.
