Philosophy Movies

Jason Brennan, philosophy graduate student at the University of Arizona, has constructed a philosophy movie page. It's TV show episodes that I've mostly used (since you can watch them in a class period), so I don't have much to contribute to his project, but if you have any ideas send them his way. Credit goes to Tyler Cowen at the Volokh Conspiracy for the discovery. Update: Majikthise has some more, with explanations why she thinks hers are among the best philosophical films.
