2001: A Space Odyssey - (Stanley Kubrick;1968;UK/USA)
In 1999 a monolith is found on the moon that sends a signal to Jupiter. In 2001 a mission is set to investigate Jupiter until the computer HAL 9000 causes problems.
Seeing this again felt just as great as the first time. Everything deserves praise from Kubrick's precise direction, the classical music, absorbing and hypnotic cinematography, and the whole mythos behind the film, depicting the evolution of man while questioning our future. Kubrick's best film and one of the ten best ever. I can't see any criticism in this.
