Favorite Movie: What the Bleep Do We Know?! and Edward Scissorhands.
Reason:   Without any academic or hyper intellectual pretense, It teaches the magic of quantum physics and exemplifies the spiritual nature of theoretical mathematics.   (What the Bleep Do We Know?!)

Edward scissorhands because he showed how cruel people can be to an innocent outsider when someone is simply different; it also showed the constant struggle between the light and dark forces of humanity (goodness and evil) and it also exemplified higher emotions held by an artificial person: envy, love, longing, etc.
