Other movies with similar philosophical theme?


After having seen the movie "Sofies Verden", I'm wondering if anyone has knowledge of other movies with similar philosophical theme?

I'm aware of that the Matrix triology also have som philosophical aspects, but there must be some other movies too?

Please give me your thoughts on that question, and recommend me some movies with philosophical aspects!

An excellent movie that is a "hard" science fiction film that includes many philosophical topics is "Prime". Fantastic film. You will have to rent it on a weekend because t will take you many viewings to "get" the plot. If you get frustrated, you can cheat a bit by going to the IMDB boards and look up some of the comments. Someone actually goes through and explains every "version" of the truth for you. If sci fi doesn't turn you off, it is worth watching.

Sunshine (the movie about the sun dying) It might look like a sci-fi movie with pretty special effects that turns into a slasher movie, but it's actually a lesson about science vs religion and what it does to a person.
