Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion 1997
The directors of 'End of Evangalion' not only invents a unique and rare conclusion to the evangalian series, but subtly depicts existentialism and the misunderstood juxtaposition of dream and reality, what is real and fake.

A good platform for Peter Jackson here, the film being more memorable than it being sensational.
