Movies that make you think about life

Cinema should not only entertain, but above all – teach, instruct and open eyes. Unfortunately, every year there are less and less masterpieces of cinematography that make you think about life. But those that are, will be relevant at all times.

The best films are different for every viewer. Someone will see a hidden philosophical meaning in the picture, while someone will find it rather boring. But still there are films that teach and do not leave anyone indifferent.
