5. 2001: A Space Odyssey 2001: A Space Odyssey is a film that speaks to you like you’re a human being instead of speaking to you like you’re a customer. It’s more thought-provoking than entertaining, though I would say that it is still entertaining, in its own way.  The film spans hundreds of millennia, fromContinue reading “10 Films to See Before You Face the Cold Void of Death and Cease to Exist and Everyone Forgets You [Part 2]”
