Are there any films with meaning, like Zardos?

About a year ago I watched the movie zardos, but lately I often remember it when I look at the street, so I wanted to ask if you know similar films?
Pi (1998) is striking, dreamlike and meaningful (not too deep but still, meaningful). 👍
I’ve never heard of Zardos personally, but it sounds like you’re looking for movies that have deep significance and application to the real world. My number one recommendation is Waking Life. It is a movie that thoroughly explores what it means to be human all without imposing any specific viewpoint or agenda.
It’s a series of borderline interviews taken from all walks of life and then rotoscoped into a beautiful dream sequence.
I can find ways that it’s relevant to just about every day of my life. It’s packed full of serious challenging conversations about the self, spirituality, morality and mankind.
If this isn’t the type of thing you’re looking for, maybe elaborate a bit more on what you mean.
You need to stop what you're doing, boof a pile of your psychoactive of choice, and watch Zardoz, immediately
Good advice for anyone, really
Classic sci-fi movies with a meaningful message, maybe you'd like Planet of the Apes
It's a long time since I watched it. I'm wondering what meaning you found in Zardos except...
Tap for spoiler
...Sean Connery in red leather was something the world needed for inexplicable reasons.
Depends on what you are into...
A sci fi notable is: THX-1138
