The Matrix
Must-see4/4 · Great. Watch it, and watch it properly.
An original sci-fi action movie about a world where people live inside a simulation built by machines to make electricity out of humans. It also has two amusing philosophical mindfucks which are well presented: determinism vs choice; the nature of reality; a slight, hard to see reference to the failure of communism. It's one of the few unique movies that after you've watched it, changes how you think about other movies. And how filmmakers make movies.
