Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Moon starring Sam Rockwell. Great movie. Sparked weeks of conversation on moral/ethical dilemma.

I forgot some too...
Wow!
The Abyss
Ex Machina
American History X
The Legend of 1900
All the other good movies have been named and few I have to watch now.
TV Shows:
Star Trek - the main reason I love this show is for the philosophical content. Favorites are The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine.
Westworld

@minhmeister Well son, when I was making babies you were playing with toy soldiers, so stay in your lane... My member is both mythology and philosophy. But you will never get to know.
Not strictly speaking philosophical, more a moral dilemma. Sophie’s Choice, where Meryl Streep as Sophie is forced by Nazi officer to choose which child, her son or her daughter will be gassed or merely sent to a labour camp. The alternative to her not chosing one over the other, that both will be gassed. She chooses her son to be saved and is haunted by this decision for the rest of her life.

The Nines (one of the best performances of Ryan Reynolds' career)
A Clockwork Orange, though the original British publication of the book (as opposed to the version released by American publishers) expresses the idea better through the inclusion of chapter 21.
Really a lot of Kubrick's work has a strong philosophical message (including AI but not the obviously tacked-on and entirely Spielbergian happy ending vignette)

Not sure if this falls under "philosophical" per say ?
Did for me...said sometimes there are alternate remedies, short of and more effective than professional therapy and analysis...i am existentialist and this spoke to me@Sirena
