I think The Matrix is a good movie.
I do not think it is 'required watching'.
Firefly/Serenity Zeitgeist The fountain The Matrix Surrogates
Those 5 are my top 5.
FIrefly/serenity is so good. Love Joss' work. Knowing what I know now, he has many story lines telling us about the Cabal.
Buffy has a college fraternity that makes sacrifices to a demon for power and wealth.
Angel has a demonic council that runs the world through a law firm and spells of illusion.
Serenity has the government putting chemicals into public consumption that turns them into monsters or kills them.
I'm sure there are plenty more examples.
Joss is just another liberal blow hard. He 'rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeesssss' with the best of them.

I vote for every movie based on a Philip K. Dick story.
-Blade Runner -Minority Report -Paycheck -The Adjustment Bureau -Total Recall -A Scanner Darkly
Less dystopian future stuff, more "what makes us human" stuff. Free will is a central theme in much of his work.
Boondock Saints has to be on that list.

Don't bother with the second one though, it's just terrible.
Lol I think I’m the only person in the world who loved the second one. But the first one is best!
Dafoe bugs me in general but this looks worthy...
The first rule of this book/film is,
I'd think it was a very good "required watch" for all who have studied and followed along with the Q team, along with White Squall, Godfather III, and probably others I forget for the moment
I guess you could make the case that the red-pill vs blue-pill is a great scene that drives a point home. The premise of the movie doesn't make any sense. That the computer AI is growing all these humans in pods and providing a virtual world for them because they want the human bodies to generate energy. That makes no sense at all. There are tons of ways to generate electricity, and sapping them from humans in pods is about the least efficient system imaginable.
The movie is both very cool and very silly at the same time.
Agree, but I thought humans had to be used because the sky went dark due to a global fallout, similar to the asteroid that wiped out the asteroids. No sunlight, plants died, etc. But feeding the pods still allowed humans to survive and produce energy?
