Re: Deep movies that seem shallow on the surface.
I think Shakes the Clown is a deep existential film. The whole clowns vs. mimes thing is about being "thrown" in the world and authentic and inauthentic ways of responding to that.
My friends have thought I was nuts the couple of times that I've talked about this. No, I don't think this about many movies at all. I'm convinced it's true about this one, though. raisins

Re: Deep movies that seem shallow on the surface.
All of Steven Seagal's films. Environmental issues, corruption, greed, and stonefaced badassness. How much deeper can it be?
Seriously though, Bubba Ho-Tep is a marvelous little indy-film starring Bruce Campbell from Evil Dead-fame with an incredibly silly premise which turns out to be a touching tale about friendship, institutional life, and sacrifice (among other things). Plot outline from IMDb: Elvis and JFK, both alive and in nursing homes, fight for the souls of their fellow residents as they battle an ancient Egyptian Mummy..

I don't think Cool Hand Luke seems particularly shallow, but I don't think it's usually given anywhere near the credit it deserves for its intelligence or even its subversiveness.
