I absolutely agree with above lists. Equilibrium, Bladerunner, Fight Club and Ghost in the Shell are among my favourite movies.
I find philosophy laid in The Name of the Rose when he stands as a man of principles against the vast odds with the atmosphere of persecution and ignorance compounded by the policies of anti-scholastism and fanatical orthodoxy. Displaying the power or reason to solve not only the literal mystery but how it applies to living day to day to better ourselves.
On the lighter side, I enjoy Auntie Mame, with Rosalind Russel, using levity to present views about persevering through poverty, helping others in need, open-mindedness against bigotry and Puritanical morality, and that the best one can do with life is to 'live, live, live! Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death!
