I have! Thank you - I'd forgotten about that one. Definitely along the lines of what I'm after.

A total trip of a movie. In an awesome way!

Sounds great! I'll add it to the list!
A philosopher friend also recommended the following:
- A box set of Beckett plays including two different "Acts Without Words" and a fantastic performance by John Hurt in "Krapp's Last Tape."
- Wings of Desire
- John Frankenheimer's Seconds (with Rock Hudson)
- The Truman Show as a modern day version of Plato's allegory of the cave
- Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
- And Wit with Emma Thompson
Thank you everyone for your suggestions!
