Movie List

Below you will find a list of great movies that explore the absurdity of life and the inevitability of death. Some are surreal, some are hilarious, and some are heart-breaking. Most are a combination...




Defending Your Life
This is a hilarious take on what happens in the Afterlife. One of Albert Brooks's finest films and one of Meryl Streep's most underrated performances.









True Stories
The only way to describe the sole directorial effort of Talking Heads frontman, David Byrne, is that it is a quasi musical-documentary from the perspective of an extraterrestrial visiting Earth and somehow landed in the middle of a small town in Texas. Oh, and John Goodman is in it.










After Hours
A Kafkaesque nightmare brought to the screen by Martin Scorsese. Another underrated film coming from the 1980's. It follows a yuppie who quickly gets in over his head when he tries to hook up with a young woman from SoHo and gets trapped there through a series of events.










About Schmidt
A meditation on how we spend our lives and whether or not it means anything at all. Do our lives have any true effect on the world around us?










Adaptation.
From an artist's perspective, this shows the follies and struggles of a screenwriter exploring the nature of humanity and evolution while adapting an unadaptable novel.











Waking Life
This is a classic mind-fuck film that plays like a series of dreams where the protagonist either directly interacts with philosophical individuals or is an objectivity entity observing the philosophical ramblings of those individuals.
