Dogma
Kevin Smith’s theological road movie follows two exiled angels seeking a clerical loophole in New Jersey to re-enter Heaven, completely indifferent to the fact that their plan will unravel creation itself. Ben Affleck and Matt Damon excel as the banished pair, while Alan Rickman and Chris Rock bring brilliant, world-weary cynicism to Smith's dialogue-heavy screenplay. The film treats its spiritual questions with surprising legitimacy while staging brawls against golf-club-wielding demons. Arriving in theaters the exact same year, it faced protests from moral gatekeepers for the same fearless iconoclasm that drives movies like South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.
