Ground-breaking. It's a compound word, I know.

Profound.

Some of my favorite movies are ones that ended up being profound by accident (or at least it wasn't the primary objective). Groundhog Day, Zelig, Vertigo, Blade Runner, 12 Monkeys, Lost in Translation... none of them had lofty ambitions to convey something deep about life, the universe and everything, but ended up doing it more efficiently than films that try hard to do so. The same goes for Charlie Kaufman's Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... but then when he got really deep and serious with Synechdoche, New York, I wasn't feelin' the love at all.
