Philosophical Movie Lists

Return to Human Nature

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
