Rod Serling seems to be stuck on the recurring theme of time slips.

My favorite had to Mirror Image which started out like it was about time slips and ended up about doppelgangers.

If Avatar didn't look like a giant computer game, I would say that was pretty symbolic.

Yes, very symbolic of Ferngully and/or Dances with Wolves. That theme was played out in 1990. Cameron just had cool computes to redo a tired theme ONE MORE TIME.

The Natural had more symbolism pound for pound than a commercial for boner pills. I did manage to figure out that Glen Close was Hobbs' innocence but I'm still confused about the commercial with the horse trailer - are the horses my boner or is it the truck stuck in the mud?

Elysium is another symbolic movie; all about immigration.

The Natural was based on a story by Bernard Malamud

Like those X-men movies! At first you think the movie is about action and adventure then you realize its all about gay rights.

I haven't seen this film but, I will shortly. Thank you for posting.

I don't know what she looks like these days but, am I the only one that gets insanely aroused at the site of Mary McDonnell? I don't know what it is about her...She's not Kate Upton or anything but, ever since "Dances With Wolves" every time I see her, I need to go and rub one out. Classy, alluring woman right there.
