This film is a fascinating look at the ancient cave paintings of Chauvet cave in Southern France. Much of the film is purely the images on the cave walls, etched by the hands of our ancestors tens of thousands of years ago. It is magical and moving, even spiritual. Werner Herzog captures the tangible and intangible through his camerawork, interviews with scientists and researchers, philosophical questions, and unusual music. If you enjoy a film that makes you think and question the meaning of life and art, watch this.

I've always loved The Big Chill. Everything about this movie makes me feel good: the incredible script, the hilarious lines and terrific acting, the effortlessness of the cast interactions. This is a story about friendship and self-doubt and self-interest. Even though the film is a product of the early 1980s with reminiscence to the 1960s- it is timeless. Everyone questions him/herself. Everyone regrets, wishes, or hopes. Everyone grieves. In my opinion, this film should be watched on a regular basis. We all need to remind ourselves that we are loved and no matter how much things may chage, life is still grand.
