Oh wow! It's rather embarassing that I'm so late to join in with the fans of this wonderful list...

Thank YOU for this outstanding list. I possible dont even hear about 20-30 directors. Jinx in that case I'm completly ignorant.

Nice list. I just taught a Philosophy of Film class, and although I didn't show many philosophical films (it was more a class on philosophical issues connected with film as an artistic medium), it's interesting that none of the films I showed are on your list! The four films I think of as philosophical which I showed were La Jetée, 2001, L'Avventura, and Eternal Sunshine (just because there are some interesting articles on the value of memory in relation to it). I also wanted to show Paprika and Paranoia Agent. I might also add some Bruno Dumont films, since he was a professional philosopher before he was a director. Thanks for this resource! (Koko is a great choice).

Thanks Nicolas for the suggestion, I read the Wiki article on Fight Club and added it since there is even an article about it...Goodlad, Lauren M. E (2007). "Men in Black: Androgyny and Ethics in Fight Club and The Crow". Goth: Undead Subculture. Duke University Press. pp. 89–118.

Added! A web search on The Truman Show lead to a discovery of the Philosophical Films web site so thanks very much for suggesting it.

Well, I've added them for the time being. I think silent films are fine as long as they are conducive to philosophical inner dialogues. And if a hypothesis of the stolen painting leads to discussions of aesthetics, that would be great. Thanks for the suggestions! :-)

Stalker is an idea,Limite is VERY nihilistic but then again i don't know if you count silent films with even lesser dialogue.Wild Strawberries could be added too. The Face of Another is pitch-perfect,Earth Entranced as well,The Hypothesis of the Stolen painting contains rich doses of analysis but it's more of a critical/philosophical combination,All That Jazz with an empiricist tone? Ashes and Diamonds also has spare parts,Hannah and Her Sisters,Seul Contre Tous? this is difficult dammit!
