I took off Dark City for Akira. Gattaca has really been getting a lot of love in these lists. For the longest, I thought I was the only one that loved it.

In regards to "Gattaca", the story at its core is nothing revolutionary(triumph over a predetermined fate at birth), but its how everything comes together from the cinematography, the evolution of the camaraderie between Jude Law & Ethan Hawke as he each others lives began to move in the opposite direction of what was predetermined along with what Hawke's character was willing to go through to reach his goal to fly in the stars to simply escape to a place where perhaps he didn't have to pretend to be something he's not anymore, and the score, which further exclamates the emotional journey. I guess this film only resonates with a few because I don't know anyone offline who likes it or even knows it exists.
