Live Poll: Parallel Worlds - Physical, Mystical or Mental Realms

Intro:

Some films suggest that our world is not the only one. Beneath the surface of everyday reality, something else may exist. A place that can be entered, sensed, or only glimpsed. Sometimes it feels physical and structured. Sometimes it feels ancient, mystical, or forbidden. And sometimes it feels disturbingly close to the human mind itself. These stories never give clear answers. Which of these titles has the most interesting hidden Realm? Please feel invited to talk here about it, after voting. Please note: In case, these titles all stand for their whole franchise.
Suggestions:
The film or series must feature a hidden, parallel, or otherworldly realm central to the story. Titles can be individual works or self-contained series, but exclude large shared universes (MCU, DCU, Star Wars). The realm should remain ambiguous and open to physical, mystical, or mental interpretation. Both movies and TV series are allowed. Movies and franchises with more than 1 million ratings in one of the movies of it fall out of criteria. TV series that have ratings exceeding 1 Million ratings  also fall out of criteria.

@RezaKJoi​ 

Thank you, RezaKJoi! I've put some of your suggestions on the list. That's Rick and Morty, Spirited Away, Corpse Bride and The wizard of Oz.

I'm very sorry to have missed to set some better rules to better shape out the idea that lies in that suggestion. That's my fault. I've corrected it.

Movies and Franchises like Inception, The Matrix and Harry Potter best fit into the category "too big to fail". I think I didn't mark that clear enough. That's my fault. I will state it in the rules that movies and franchises with more than 1 million ratings fall out of criteria.

Consequent as I am, I have skipped Stranger Things, which already has exceeded the "one Million ratings border" by far. It has 1,7 Million raters and falls out of criteria, because it also is "too big to fail".

Why have I made up this rule? To give other productions that are very good because of their making also a chance to compete. I hope I explained it comprehensible.

@Breumaster​ Yes, it was completely clear. This is a good opportunity for films that have lower rankings or fewer fans in the community. It's truly unfortunate that Spirited Away hasn’t reached a million😆

On the one hand yes, because the movie is pretty good and deserves more viewers. I always enjoy it, when I watch it. But on the other hand. It hasn't reached the Million ratings. So I've put it on the list. I'ts a very good pick. And still the other movies or series have a chance.

@Breumaster​ to bad I didn’t see this. I would have vote for “Harry Potter” and “Camp Half Blood” of the Percy Jackson Demi god series that has grown to so much more than Greek mythology- it expands to Roman, eypgtain, and noris mythology.

@Breumaster​ I did before I posted. The thing is that I think two of your selections do not fit the the genre of hidden realms because everybody knows  where they are. In order to be a hidden realm or hidden society, nobody or at least the government must not know it exist or where it is, Harry Potter.

”Twin Peaks” and “Stalker “ do not fit this genre. in “Stalker” or the book that it is based on, “Roadside Picnic” (which is a set of stories that form a novel), the whole world knows where where the zones are and the government controls access. In the end, the zones are a trap and prison, and it ends up as an alien invasion where the aliens infect your sperm if you go into the radius zone too often. When you have gone into the radius too many times, in the book, your child is born with Alien dna in her and she slowly mutates into the alien at the end of the book. That is the meaning of the ending of “Stalker” too. She is no longer human. She can’t talk. She has telekinesis powers and black eyes. In the book, she has hair all over, can’t talk, and communicates telepathically. There is no hidden realm in stalker or the book too.

the same is with “Twin Peaks” too. It is just tv series and movie set in a weird town with a mystery that the director made it up as he went along without a solution in mind before he started filming and thus directionless. 

had I found this list before the poll before it went live. I would have suggested “Harry Potter” too, along with “Percy Jackson” and “Stardust” for inclusion in the poll.

also consider, “Free Guy” and The “Tron” movies too.
