	Someone just recommended to me "The Man From Earth":

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/

	Independent movie, I think. Made this year. As you can see, the ratings
are quite high. Anyone seen it?

	(No spoilers here, but if you want to avoid them, don't read the plot
summary on the IMDB page).

	I liked it, and generally like this "kind" of science fiction. I used
to call it "philosophical" science fiction - a subgenre of hard science
fiction (as Darren defined it). These kinds of stories don't actually
have much of a story - it's mostly exploring certain ideas or concepts.

	Oh, and just curious if anyone here would rather this movie not be
labeled as science fiction?
