It's not really less-prestigious, and I am not really a sci-fi fan, but Contact.
I never understood the hate that movie got. It was wonderful and thought provoking. Jodie Foster may not have been the best choice for lead, but it's hard to imagine anyone else in her place at this point.
Wow I don't know it was hated! To me it was a classic, and an interesting way to discuss the relationship of religions and science/technology -- I believe some messages from the film are still useful in today's context.
It even made it way into Southpark because people thought it was such a flop. Personally, I thought it was a great movie.
Agreed. I absolutely love it.
