Days of Our Lives and The Great Pretender are good ones. The A Night At The Opera episode from the Classic Album series is good too.

Interesting article about the shadow of 2001:A Space Odyssey. It's being shown in the theaters again this year for the 50th anniversary. I'm not sure there is another movie that impacted me as much as this did when I first saw it.

That movie stunned the fuck out of me. I'd never seen anything like it before. And few movies have given me a similar feeling/experience since.E.H.
