I never liked those Star Wars movies.
Maybe because I did my own research of Jung and historical myths.
Goes without saying that all movies - all the arts tap into our subconscious (and our cultural prejudices).
I have always preferred movies where the message is buried deeper. And is carried more by acting than action.
There are also those I remember fondly because of the person and situation it was shared with.
Secrets and Lies - for a combination of those reasons.
