Philosophical Movies

A little bit of entertainment, a little bit of philosophy 101. This will be a divided category because these films are either come across as fun for some or too pretentious for others. I would start elsewhere if you are new to MAW.

I Heart Huckabees

This used to be one of my sisters favorite movies and it bored me to death but now I love it (and I think she hates it now?). Its a comedic romp through philosophical ideologies with a likable and star powered cast of characters. Jason Swartzman, Dustin Hoffman, Jude Law, Lily Tomlin and Markey Mark make this fun. I think Jonah Hill is in it too?

Is a category really a category when it only contains two movies?
