THE TOP PHILOSOPHY MOVIES (not in any particular order)
http://www.u.arizona.edu/~brennan/movies.htm
(by Jason Brennan, Philosopher-in-Training, second year doctoral student
at the University of Arizona in the Department of Philosophy)
A.The Matrix
Issues: radical deception/skepticism, metaphysics (See Dave Chalmers'
"Envatment as a Metaphysical Hypothesis", aka "The Matrix as Metaphysics"
for a compelling argument that the people in the Matrix have mostly true
beliefs about the external world), free will and determinism, the
existentialist theory of choice, postmodernism, assorted religious issues,
Descartes' Meditations, metaphysical idealism and realism
B. Minority Report
Issues: free will and determinism, philosophy of law and theories of
punishment, political philosophy, desert and responsibility (I'd recommend
using David Miller's or George Sher's work on desert in conjunction with
this movie.)
C. Vanilla Sky
Issues: radical deception/skepticism, internalist/externalist theories of
well-being, Nozick's experience machine
D. Bruce Almighty
Issues: the problem of evil, with a mix of a free will and flawed/finite
God defense; also some ethical issues about the use of power and egoism
E. Twelve Monkeys
Issues: coherent time travel, causal loops, metaphysics (very good with
David Lewis' "The Paradoxes of Time Travel")
F. Memento
Issues: personal identity, especially useful for memory-based theories
such as Locke's.
G. The Lord of the Flies*
Issues: the state of nature, order and informal institutions,
contractarianism, game theory and reputation-building, very good with
Hobbes.
H. Jacob the Liar
Issues: deontology versus utilitarianism (should deceive the doomed in
order to ease their remaining days?), political philosophy and
totalitarianism
I. 1984*
Issues: philosophy of language and mind, political philosophy and
totalitarianism, dystopia
J. Cruel Intentions
Issues: prudent predator/immoralism, value nihilism (not the metaethical
theory, but the perverse outlook that the good must be destroyed), egoism,
sympathy and moral psychology (specifically, it can be used in conjunction
with Korsgaard's The Sources of Normativity and questions about
motivational rationalism versus sentimentalism)
K. Bicentennial Man
Issues: Strong AI, ì philosophy of biology (what is life?), personhood
(what does it take to be a moral agent and a moral patient?)

Sarebbe meglio che studiasse, invece di far vedere quanto NCUCDC.

in effetti riesce a sparare una quantità di banalità e cacate da risultare
un soggetto da studiare (le meditazioni di Descartes a proposito di Matrix,
solo uno statunitense desertico puo' scrivere una cazzata di tale portata)

Quoto (e ROTFL per lo "statunitense desertico").

 un soggetto da studiare
fino a circa meta' credevo fosse una cosa umoristica, ma era in effetti
troppo scarsa.

Oddio, avvertilo, gli e' scappato un film *addirittura* di 20 anni fa.
Si vede che lo passavano in televisione quella sera?

Quoto dal suo sito :
"If you know of any additions that should be on this list, please email me
with the movie title, a description of the plot, and the category it should
fall under, and I will update it.  I'd like to stick to more recent movies
in English as much as possible, as they keep students' interest more"

azzo, sono andato a vedere il suo CV, e la sua unica pubblicazione č :
Publications
      "Marijuana." Social Issues, ed. James
           Ciment.  Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe. (In press)
in corso di stampa, sta aspettando di tagliare i fiori e pressare le foglie
per far la carta.

Suona come quello che aveva perso le chiavi vicino al fiume ma le
cercava nella macchina perche' il fiume era troppo lontano.
