Actually Contact is also one of my favourite sci-fi movies, and I agree, I don’t understand why it arouses so much strong feeling about the ending.

Penelope is a cute fantasy-romance movie starring Christina Ricci and James McAvoy.

Starman with Jeff Bridges and Karen Allen is one of my all-time favorites.
