I'll give you a dose of philosophical film.

what is "philosophical film"? Does such a movie exist?

Reader Albert Hoffman said: "A really good film is always a philosophical film because it can always cause people to think about important philosophical issues." I can't argue about it. However, another reader, Assyouti, said: "all bad movies can be material for philosophical discussion." I agree, too. Why not? To figure out what a philosophical film is, we may first have to figure out what the definitions of words like "philosophy", "film" and "yes" are.

Mubi published an article in 2010, listing "44 must-see movies for philosophical people" (https://mubi.com/lists/essential-movies-for-a-student- of-philosophy). Among them, the author Matt Whitlock gives some quite clear criteria for "philosophical film", that is, such a film "seems to be the embodiment of the classical philosophical thinking experiment, with a philosophical question as to its film theme." However, to me, apart from films with philosophers as protagonists or supporting roles, many other films can be counted as philosophical films, ranging from Hitchcock's "obsession" (a favorite of the fallen Guide theorist Slavozizek and many critics) to the Adventures of Bill and Ted, which is considered a bad movie.

as I mentioned in my previous article, several of the philosophical films listed by Whitlock four years ago are often mentioned in reviews. In addition, readers also mentioned several films that were previously ignored but can indeed be counted as philosophical films. We might as well relax the definition of "philosophical film" so that more films can be counted as "philosophical film". With this spirit of tolerance, we added a few more after Whitlock's 44 (below). At the same time, we have to make it clear that we cannot guarantee that the new films listed below will never tarnish the title "philosophical film". Of course, we do hope to arouse more in-depth discussion and, more importantly, to introduce some interesting and thought-provoking movies to readers. All right, needless to say, here are 27 must-see philosophical films recommended by our Open Culture readers, in no particular order:
