"2001: A Space Odyssey" and "A Clockwork Orange" by Kubrick come to mind. "The Lord of the Rings" series (books maybe more so) is also said to have many Christian allegories. ..... Hi Shan dear!!

not my favorite movie, but HOOK was more a sequel to the book than any more popular version of Peter Pan: rife with Jungian overtones (falling backwards through his life, into the water, past the mermaids of adolescence, all the way back to when he was Pan). Also the idea that in a backwards, perverse world the men are all pirates and the women are all prostitutes. Wendy's father was still a child himself; then Pan really was a child for a long time, then he DID grow up, and the movie extols the virtue of being a DAD, a real father.

I must be tired and stressed -- I like this question but I'm not even sure what it means. :) More in the book than the movie but I found much deeper symbolism in The Green Mile than the surface action. For example, the name " John Coffee " is too close to " Jesus Christ" to be a simple coincidence. That's a start, I guess. But I'm stopping here. :) I only hope this answer is even in the right ball park.
