Off the top of my head I guess Robocop has some interesting questions pertaining to identity and brain functioning. It also uses the cruxifiction story as a kind of subtext, which is interesting in itself, that self realization/truth can only come from suffering. Enemy Mine, that scene when they're on the mountain and the drak guy says truth is truth, I can't remember what that refers to but would it be Kants idea that evil acts which result in harm to others are inherently illogical for if everyone were to act in such a way they would destroy themselves? Pi I guess would be an obvious choice. Cube is also another. Lets see...hmmm...Blade Runner and The Matrix, Star Trek 1, maybe TUC as it deals with political philosophy in a way perhaps.
I really like it when they mix philosophy in with films as its so rare these days and I can relate to it more, you know the director or scriptwriter put some of themselves into it the film when they do something like this as philosophical scenes can be shot down pretty quick as being boring, self indulgent or just plain wrong. Its also a measure of honesty of intent, for example there is nothing worse than a pretentious philosophical film. I didn't get this with the Matrix trilogy though as I think the Wachowski bros were really into philosophy and just want to make it a part of the script, however hamfisted it was.
