Great Movies - Philosophy, Comedy and Extraterrestrials!

If you are into philosophy and paranormal subjects, here are some great movies to watch. I watched these recently and I enjoyed every one of them. I know how difficult it is to get good movies to watch. After all, in my estimation, less than 10% of the Hollywood movies live up to the hype they create. If your tastes are anything like mine, you will also certainly enjoy these movies. Look them up on netflix or your local dvd store or the public library...

Holy Man
Starring: Eddie Murphy and Jeff Goldblum

This is a movie that is both funny and philosophical at the same time. Eddie Murphy kind of plays "God" in the movie although it is never stated so explicitly. Jeff Goldblum is a shopping channel manager who learns valuable lessons through "God" entering his life. It is pure entertainment while you learn some lessons!




K-PAX
Starring: Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges

K-PAX is the name of the planet that this person claims to be from. He looks human, he speaks English and no one can believes him. When he is admitted to the mental institution, he is questioned by his psychiatrist who slowly starts believing him. The story itself lends you to analyze human behavior from an alien's perspective. Until the very end, you are not sure if he is an alien or not! Great suspense and great entertainment.




What about Bob?
Starring: Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss

Although this movie started off a little slower than the other two movies I saw (mentioned above), it picked up pace and quickly became hilarious and philosophical at once. A person who thinks he has psychological issues eventually turns out to be more stable and more in touch with his life than his psychiatrist! Contradictions are well portrayed.





The Fourth Kind
Starring: Milla Jovovich portraying the real life character Dr. Abigail Tyler

Two reasons to watch this movie:

1. If you are into scary movies, this is a must see not because this is a great horror movie, but it is a real life horror story. Movie is well made with real footage, not like the stuff you see in Paranormal Activity, where it is made to make believe.
2. If you are intrigued by extraterrestrial life or aliens, this is again a must see. This is the first movie I have ever seen about aliens and it is extremely compelling proof. The whole movie is about the events that happen in Nome, Alaska over the span of 9 days. Many people commit suicide apparently because the mental agony they are going through because of aliens torturing them is unbearable. Dr. Abigail Tyler, who is also one of the victims is strong enough to continue her investigation even though she is as scared as anyone else. Thanks to her, we have this movie and excellent documentation of the events through video and audio. She is determined to find the truth.

Enjoy and please post your comments including any good movies that you think I should check out!
