 Picnic At Hanging Rock,


Another good, somewhat obscure, aussie film: Flirting
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101898/

First film of Nicole Kidman and Thandie Newton.
Interesting youthful take on transcending social roles and expectations.

Also, not related, but should be on the list;
Prince of the City
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082945/

and Serpico, two great Sydney Lumet films, which deal in their own
ways with deep disillusionment and transcending initial mindsets.

Rounds out the othe Lumet film already mentioned: The Verdict.

Going a bit deeper on Lumet: 12 Angery Men -- subjectivness of
"reality" theme, in that way, similar to Mamet's Oleanna. 

Another Lumet classic, Network, seems a natural, breaking boundaries,
"I'm not going to take it any more", though perhaps having become  bit
 a cliche film -- that is  -- it is on all lists.

A smaller Lumet film, Failsafe (and its book), dealing with huge and
imponderable decisions, forces a level of transcendence. 

Another Burdick novel made into a film, Seven Days in May, should be
considered, though the reasoning for making its case as a "spiritual"
film -- may take a bit to develop.


Othe Lumet films for consideration: the Hill, Dog Day Afternoon
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001486/
plus a number I have not seen, but I am sure are worth viewing.
