23) The Tree of Life

Terrence Malick's masterfully directed and philosophically motivated exploration of existence, family, and the universe is narrated through the framework of a Texas family living during the 1950s. It looks at the father-son relationship, held together by personal memories interjected with cosmic grandeur—a tale that traverses time and space. These are themes of love, loss, and a quest for meaning that strike so profoundly.
