Vanilla Sky wasn't as bad asa everyone said it would be (although I still can't watch Tom Cruise). It had an underlying philosophical theme (deception, sensation and perception, internalist/externalist theories of well being).
1984 was one of the best movies I've ever seen. The philosophical themes are prety blatent in that one.
Bladerunner is also one of my favorites. What is it to be human? What is morality? What is life? What is slavery?
Les Miserables was freaking amazing (Liam Neson version). Nature of morality and vindication plays a central role.
Equilibrium...athough it's been done better as far as philosophy of totalitarian society before, very few were this entertaining.
Solaris: am I the only one who like the Cloony remake as much as the original? I dunno. The question of personal identity comes up early on and just gets more and more surreal.
Se7en is yet another of my favorite films. The questioning of the interpretation of scripture, ethics, moral dilemmas, and faith versus morality are key.
If you havn't seen Hero because you don't like action movies, go see it right now. This work of visual art also conveys a very strong anti-violence/anti-war/contractarianism theme.
Of course 2001 was the best metaphysics movie ever made. It was also unique in that it was among the first to question consciousness in machines.
Clockwork Orange featured a unique and unorthodox approach to showing behaviorism.
Hands are tired now, I'll post more later.
