Always I will be impressed when the resolution of a film's theme comes down to its final few seconds. (Although I expect the writer started with those final few seconds.)

Alice in Wonderland
Probably the most detached film I've ever seen. Read: detached = devoid of life and soul.

The Book of Eli
Religious trope? Library love? End of days? Yes, all three, it would seem.

Mary and Max
Goldfish coming to sad, sudden ends, more than one explanation for how babies are made, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as the voice of Max. This could not be any better of a film.

Creation
Such a good beginning, then it falls apart after the realistic decay scene.

Brothers
Um, war sucks? (I wonder how the original Danish film, Brødre, ended.)

MI-5: Season 7
Oh, disappointed. Those last 2 episodes could have been a little less in-your-face obvious, no?

Stargate SG-1: Season 7
More and more intriguing. I hope there are more episodes like "Heroes"-- why can't Andy Mikita and Robert C. Cooper pull these out of their hats more often?

The Crazies
Inappropriate to say "damn good remake" since I never saw the original, so how about "damn good creepy horror film"?

V (1983 mini-series)
The best part of this abysmal series is the marching band playing an out-of-tune Star Wars theme on arrival of the aliens to Podunk, U.S.

Sita Sings the Blues
Reminded me of Moulin Rouge a bit, in regards to the overabundance of visual styles, colors and sounds you'll experience.
