One without too much gratuitous violence. I like movies about alternate realities, other dimensions, etc. Like The Matrix but without all the violence. Some that come to mind are What Dreams May Come, The Butterfly Effect, The 13th Floor...
I don't keep up with movies much so I've probably missed a lot of good ones.

It's not a movie but Doctor Who.
I don't know what it is, but I can't get into Doctor Who. I don't know if it's because it's so steeped in a culture that I find it hard to relate to (Great Britain).
But on the other hand, I don't think that that's true because there are plenty of British films that I like. I just saw a great one recently called, Happy-Go-Lucky. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I even consider it to be one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. It's certainly one of the funniest.
Maybe I just haven't given it a chance.
I had a hard time to get myself to like it at first, especially the first season (2005 not 1963). Watched it for the third time just before the 9th season started and I like it more each time it seems, maybe because you get to see old doctors that "died".
They keep a lot from the old style, the show could've been better if they didn't do that but that would be betraying their long time fans.
