“From what I have garnered though, it seems like you’ve put a lot of work into this, which is admirable. I was curious if (just from a mere stylistic point) either an alphabetical or chronological organization within each subcategory might help. Classifying movies by philosophical theme I think works very well on your site (although I cannot say that I’ve seen all the films you have listed). I would caution you a bit in regards to using “Futurism” as a subheading, only insofar (as you already know), Futurism is typically understood in context to the Italian art movement in the early twentieth century rather than denoting a futuristic theme (although it doesn’t have to). Film theories may use this term as you do, so I will have to plead ignorance in that regard. “Dystopian” as a term also captures the theme of a perfect world gone wrong (such as “1984” or “Brave New World”), usually within the contexts of a future time (but not necessarily).
I noticed that you have a page with links to philosophical works on cinema (which I was in the midst of recommending). I was also going to suggest that you have a page for student papers but I see you’ve done that as well. The website looks incredibly comprehensive insofar as you have already considered what I would have suggested.”
