American Beauty (1999)
Calibrated at 380 in Truth vs. Falsehood, one does not expect the paraphilic theme (fantasizing about a minor) central to the film. ADAP calibration identifies the overall average consciousness depicted.
The Sixth Sense (1999)
Calibrated at 310 in TvF, but that seems to be the only the ending, not the whole movie.
Taxi Driver (1976)
The 360 calibration in TvF must refer only to the all-too-brief denouement in which acceptance is the surprise ending. The rest of the movie is brooding, seedy, increasingly dark, and at the climax shockingly violent.
Saturday Night Fever (1977)
Calibrated in TvF at 395, one expects a happy film. Bee Gees music aside, it isn't. The ADAP calibration provides the overall average result. Doc's calibration indicates the high-end average awareness.
The Big Blue (1988)
The movie Dr. Hawkins calibrated at 700.
A Clockwork Orange (1971)

Rush Hour (1998)
Request: it's one of my favorite movies. It was extremely popular when it released and set Jackie Chan on the map in the west for its comedy and solid action sequences. Its also praised for portraying Asian culture positively.
Brother Bear (2003)
follows an Alaska native boy named Kenai as he pursues a bear and kills it, but the Spirits, incensed by this unnecessary death, change Kenai into a bear himself as punishment. In order to be human again, Kenai must travel to a mountain where the Northern lights touch the earth.
