Nominations, please, for non-religious or not religion-focussed films with [nevertheless] strong religious or spiritual messages.

Reasoning:
There is the myterious force including a light and a dark side (like in Zorosatrianism)

I don't need to read it again to understand you're being pretentious, or to reject that pretentiousness.
The OP is not pretentious. You blurted out something having not read it carefully enough, that's all.

No one is. Stop reaching.
This is what you said, having not understood the OP correctly: "Okay, hold on. What's the "religious message" in E.T.? I mean, seriously, I must've somehow missed it." It's still there on Page 1.

A lot of science fiction seems to generate spiritual content by setting the human condition in a non-terrestial context and among non-human lifeforms. Star Wars is an interesting nomination,

And I stand by it. YOU are the one seemingly unable to connect that with your OP.

I never said the OP was pretentious. You're really having a bad comprehension day, aren't you?

It's your posts after the OP and specifically, your posts to me, that are pretentious. You've abandoned common sense in order to score cheap points on me. Again, I say stop, you're reaching.

My OP does not seek only films with "religious messages". It explicitly elicits nominations of films with "spiritual messages" too. Read it again.
Pedantic, in the extreme. And yes, pretentious.

Please explain to me why "religious messages" are not "spiritual messages".
