Hello, this is my first post. Anyways, im writing a paper on philosophy in modern cinema, im probably going to use three films, and so far im using Fight Club and The Matrix. Im undecided on the third film, i had a few in mind, but im open to suggestions. The ones i was considering were Pi,Trainspotting,Memento, and The Salton Sea. Any ideas would be very much apperciated.

Memento all the way. It'd fit in nicely with the other 2 films I think, especially if you are comparing/contrasting the three films with one another.

How about the movie CUBE? Check it out.

If you are going to use Fight club and the Matrix why don't you compare/contrast them to the asian fighting genre, ie, hong kong cinema (bruce Lee, etc) or better yet 'Crouching tiger hidden dragon'
