The Man From Earth

I found this movie about 2 semesters ago, when I was writing a paper about internet piracy, the story being that while obviously internet piracy tends to drive sales down, it did exactly the opposite for this film. Once a DVD rip was posted on a popular website, the sales nearly tripled over a couple months. The movie is super low budget and basically all takes place in one small room in a cabin, and some of the acting is a little meh but the idea and the plot are incredibly interesting. I recommended it to a few specific people I thought would appreciate it and they all did; it's a very intellectual movie, there's no action or even really any excitement that's driven by the movie itself. Instead it's 2 hours of considering a very interesting possibility. You can stream this from Netflix if you have it!
