Why in the world aren't all these damned lists I'm subscribed to just  
labeled "splittinghairs1", "splitthinghairs2", "splitthinghairs3".....   then I 
could keep track.....

Donal asks "whether list-members want to name  movies etc. that they 
think illustrate no "philosophical themes"  whatever?"

How about Maya Deren's surrealist beauty, _Meshes of  the Afternoon_?

Conditions of this offer: the film willingly approaches  the philosopher, 
bearing its philosophical themes as free gifts freely  given. The 
philosopher does not, in his philosophical lust, roughly subdue  the film 
and force it to yield philosophical themes.

In other words,  I'm assuming Donal means "the movie intentionally 
illustrates philosophical  themes," rather than "a philosopher may use 
the movie to represent  philosophical themes" or "a philosopher may 
explicate the grounding  philosophical assumptions of the people who made 
the film" or "a philosopher  may use the film as a tabula on which to 
project philosophical themes not  inherent in the film's  creation."
