The List

1-10

I'll start this list with this list from the Internet of the "top 10" philosophical movies of all time. [1].

The next batch comes from the Happiness class:

  1. 13 Conversations about One Thing - Should almost be required viewing.
  2. Crash
  3. American Beauty - Good for both cultural critique of forms of American happiness and for state-happiness.
  4. Lost in Translation
  5. About Schmidt - Excellent for issues of meaningfulness.
  6. Life is Beautiful - Raises profound questions about how we respond to evil in maintaining happiness.
  7. Groundhog Day - Makes a philosophically interesting case for perfectionism and happiness.
  8. 21 grams
  9. Broken Flowers
  10. Inception
