Definitely a good list, there's a couple I haven't seen that I'll have to check out. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
some philosophers have said that all life is philosophy. Every decision in some way relates to philosophy. There are also specific terms used to describe certain systems within the academic field of philosophy. For instance, Inception and The Matrix are movies that question the foundations of reality. There are fundamental philosophical questions being asked in these movies posed by intellects thousands of years ago and quite a bit of modern stuff too. |

To be honest I would side with the former, that all life is philosophy. Granted that statement doesn't serve a whole lot of purpose. |

To me, there's nothing more important in a movie (or any form of media) than the feeling or emotion it leaves you with afterwards. While a movie like Avatar had a cool environmentalist message to get across, I felt nothing at the end other than a vague "huh, I guess that was pretty neat," while Inception and The Seventh Seal both left me with a sense of profound "emptiness", in a way. That feeling is what separates a good movie from a great movie, in my opinion. |
