I have a group of students at my school who are interested in creating a Philosophy Club next year. I'm going to sponsor it, as I have done in years past. But this time I don't want to limit the club to simple lectures, readings, and then discussion. I'd like to use three or four films during the year to get them thinking about various issues.
Does anybody have recommendations for good movies that might teach interesting philosophical ideas?
I'd thought maybe the following:
Gattaca - cloning, "identity", state authority,
Blade Runner - Cloning/Replication, justified killing, mortality
The Matrix - reality vs. perception, technology/AI/philosophy of mind
Any ideas?
