#232Earlier quoted context omitted.
Andrew Niccol's movies are always thought provoking. Even his Netflix movie Anon .
I loved Gattaca. I've seen it many times. I tried to like Anon, but I didn't. Same thing with another one his movies, "In Time"
Some are not great, but all are thought-provoking.
Lord of War was good, inspired by true events.

#236Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure Helped me not take life so seriously. And that being super smart isn't the end-all-be-all. You can have a totally excellent time just being kind to others. In fact, kindness is probably the most important thing to be.
You should watch Being There. Intelligence isn't everything, sometimes just being kind is all it takes to succeed.

I'm a bit late to commenting, but of all the ones on the list, this is the one the most for me. It opened the door to philosophy to me, I just never knew I wanted to know about it until this show. I love it now! Also it is one of the most incredibly funny shows I have ever seen.
