Best Movies On Philosophy

Do you consider yourself a seeker of knowledge, committed to discovering new truths regarding the reality we experience? Consider ourselves fortunate, we are alive during a time when there is an abundance of collected wisdom available in a variety of mediums.

Unlike reading, watching a film or video comes naturally to our senses, there isn’t a learning curve involved. The ability to extrapolate information from the viewing experience, however, is a skill constantly under development.

The best movies on philosophy push us, expand our boundaries, require us to think in new ways. Challenging our accepted standards & beliefs is crucial to the seeker of wisdom. Watching a documentary about a philosophical school or a movie with strong philosophical underpinnings is a great way to work out that contemplative muscle.

The Organized Consciousness resource library is meant to cater to the discovery and education process.  The best movies on philosophy can be found on our Philosophy Movies page. Once you are on the page you can select the appropriate category for your movie preference, in this case, “philosophy.” 

The best movies on philosophy from a documentary-style presentation can be found on our Philosophy Documentaries page

If you have a suggestion for a philosophical movie or documentary to be added to our selection drop us an email at OrganizedConsciousness@gmail.com .  Be sure to explore the rest of our philosophy sections to find amazing websites, books, podcasts, and YouTube channels.
