I'd seriously have to consider "The Thin Red Line" by Terrance Malick or "Magnolia" by P.T. Anderson.
1) Malick's cinematography. As a personal request to Mr. Malick, PLEASE put out another film.
2) The slow immersion into so many lives filled with regret in Anderson's film. The film's only characters without lingering regrets
are also the most lonely, John C. Reilly and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
How I can still find this uplifting by the film's end I can never quite put my finger on, yet it never fails to inspire.

Hopefully Malick will make more films. I think his last one before TTRL was Days of Heaven. He seems to be even more a perfectionist than Kubrick, who made films more often than Malick does. I agree with you on the characters in PTA's films, but this goes to show that it's not the story that's so important in film, but how the story is told. It's the art of film that I find so uplifting. Same with music.
