Well, that was interesting -- but I think the site needs to be fleshed out and updated. There is a new film, Running with Sissors, that combines psychology and philosophy: the protagonist does absolutely nothing morally wrong, in fact, is totally generous and loving, and he gets taken advantage of and is generally misused by virtually everyone he encounters, including his Narcissistic Mother's insane Psychologist. It's a complex flim on many levels -- hard to watch at times, but at times quite funny. Thought provoking.
Another foray into blending film with philosophy (and fun -- should go on the "fun" page here?) is the infamous Philosopher's Drinking Song by Monty Python. At the end of my comment here is a link for it, and if it doesn't work, just go to google and get the link to Utube: Monty python's philosopher's drinking song. Have fun!
