I'd cross off Donnie Darko, The Matrix + The Fountain immediately, @
LEAST have 12 Monkeys + La jatee share a spot, and shed Pi + Moon as
needed add (Tarkovksy's) Solaris (with Stalker waiting in the wings),
Planet of the Apes, A Clockwork Orange, Testament, maybe Silent
Running, but definitely Metropolis.  Off the top of my head ...
