Atheist Oscars

I'd like to call for nominations for Atheist Oscars for films that represent an atheist or anti-religion viewpoint or have atheism as a key element in the story.

My nomination is for "Contact", a 1997 film based on a story by Carl Sagan. Jodie Foster stars as an astronomer who discovers signals from an alien civilization and manages to download blueprints for an intersteller transport device. She expects to be the first to travel in the device, but her hopes are scuppered when she is outed as an atheist and deemed unfit to represent humanity. Her discovery brings out all the worst in religious crackpottery, and the device itself is destroyed by a religious fanatic. Fortunately an eccentric billionaire has built another one in Japan, and Foster is eventually able to take the trip.
