Whatnerd's 17 Best Metaphorical Movies With Deeper, Hidden Meanings

"Some movies are clearly made to make a profit first, with everything else coming second. But then there are movies that are motivated by something more philosophical, more artistic, more human. These movies might set out to explore ideas about society, morality, or even conspiracies, but they all have something bigger stirring underneath the surface. Metaphors and grandiose themes are used to convey hidden messages. Well, mostly hidden. Sometimes the messages are obvious—perhaps even on-the-nose—but they're still fun to think about!" - whatnerd.com
