Into the Wild, this perhaps romanticized / dumb idea that blindly chasing your passion to your demise may still be worth it. Dying from mushroom poisoning doesn't seem so fun though... Walter Mitty and Big Year, similar adventures about people chasing their silly passions (but not fatally). Transcendence, Her, and Robot and Frank, some of the very few AI-optimistic movies. I've always believed in the transformative social good of AI, since I first heard of the Borg, but most people and media are staunchly against it. It was nice to see a more friendly viewpoint. I really enjoyed Arrival too and hope we have an experience like that someday, but the whole time travel thing was a turnoff.
