"The Sheltering Sky"? It's a story of adultery and egotistical sybaritic
endeavours. Wonderful film, but philosophical? What about Bertolucci's
latest "The Dreamers"? Decadent, European, menage a trois, dreaming
pretentious artsy people who discuss movies and indulge their every whim --
must be philosophical right?
I guess we might as well include every film that ever dealt with _A_ choice
that any man or woman makes. Everything is [even if not overtly]
philosophical? Kind of renders the word a bit meaningless.

p.s. I agree that the first Matrix film was very philsophical, and the
second, perhaps while not being actually moreso, is overtly moreso, but the
THIRD one is just a relentless, boring, largely animated, action film that
totally ruins the building blocks of the matrix with a terrible ending to
what was a very promising trilogy.
