Oh gee, I loved some of those (didn't see others). Have to add a few. In no particular order.
Not necessarily peace and justice but hey we are off topic over here.

October Sky
Flight of the Navigator (ok I know not so heavy, as are some of the others here)
ET
Searching for Bobby Fisher
Contact
To Live (Chinese)
Little Man Tate
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

NORTH COUNTRY is really good. It deals with women being harrassed at a northern Minnesota mine and it deals with family reconciliation. 2 tissue boxes!

Fred & Maryann Brussat who do such an incredible job of reviewing spiritually oriented movies and books etc. have moved their very comprehensive web pages from S&H >
http://www.spiritual...e/item_216.html
to S&P >
http://www.spiritual...ndpractice.com/

They have listed and reviewed all the great spiritual movies for many years.

I consider their website the peak of the WWW! Even better than mine!

I'm a movie nut. I cannot resist this topic. These are movies that never fail to make me laugh, cry, think, bite nails, get freaked out, smile, or just get plain geeky. It's not exhaustive, but it's good enough.

It's a Wonderful Life
To Kill a Mockingbird
Jesus Christ Superstar
Raising Arizona
Rear Window
North by Northwest
Vertigo
Halloween 1 and 2
Stand by Me
Mary Poppins
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder)
Young Frankenstein
Kung Fu Hustle
Sound of Music
On Golden Pond
Any Harry Potter (especially Azkaban)
Any Star Wars
Any Lord of the Rings
Monsieur Abrahim
The Grapes of Wrath
West Side Story
E.T.
Napoleon Dynamite
Dumb and Dumber

Strong theme of racial diversity? This would have been this little school's first latino class president (Pedro).
