I like to think of any film as philosophical. Lets say: subjectively insofar as it is philosophical reflection; & objectively insofar as it is an object of another subject's philosophical reflection. And to test/prove Nate's point: here is a quick rating of a pretty (but on reflection not so) random collection - the last 20 films/videos/DVDs I have seen (subjective and objective indices shown, dates and directors omited). My takes on the philosophical themes are in parenthesis. It is done quickly (therefore clumsily , & mistakenly) - something that one really should not do when it comes to the serious tasks of ratings, favourites etc. THE PRINCESS AND THE WARRIOR 5, 5 (the death of metaphysics) BRIGHTON ROCK 7, 7 (crime, holidays & philosophy of history) THE PASSENGER 9, 7 (naturalist fantasias) THE CIRCLE 8, 9 (relay plot) CHICAGO 2, 10 (cinema and the philosophy of the dance musical) THE CURSE OF THE CAT PEOPLE 6, 7 (Sontagian vs Rosenbaumian cinephilia) THE QUIET AMERICAN 7, 8 (civility, good intentions, self-delusion) BODY HEAT 3, 3 (the Double Indemnity genre) BUT IM A CHEERLEADER 4, 8 (tendentiousness and comedy) THE BIG SLEEP 7, 8 (the cars, the night and the philosophy of history) ROXANNE 6, 7 (acrobatics, bildung, perfectability) THE HOURS 3, 10 (biopics, & films for pop-literary culture) BEAU TRAVAIL 9, 10 (free indirect style, envy, 'the handsome soldier,' upkeep, dance) THE HUSTLER 8, 8 (style & losing) THE SONS ROOM 10, 10 (death, humour, the family) SERENDIPITY 2, 8 (destiny vs repartee in romantic comedy) UNEASY RIDERS 7, 10 (propriety, worthiness and social work) and for comparison MEMENTO 4, 3 (time mystified) MATRIX 3, 1 (the death and resurrection of metaphysics) FIGHT CLUB 3, 6 (ditto) BLADE RUNNER 3, 0 (the postmodern canon) Note that any film is an eligible object for philosophical reflection, so the second 'objective' figures should all be 10. What I have given are my subjective takes on these objects - something like my take on which are the most interesting philosophical objects for me; or 'Would I like to write an essay on this film?' Neither index is a 'good film' rating or a favourite rating. (Note: I could write an essay on why BLADE RUNNER rates 0 as an object of interest) Ross
