Spinoza - The Apostle of ReasonAn excellent and quite accurate film on Spinoza. The scenes showing Spinoza reading/writing letters is very accurate. They picked two of the funniest of his letters, especially the one on the existence of male apparitions and ghosts. Those writing to Spinoza were Albert Hurgh and Hugo Boxel. I highly recommend that people read Spinoza's letters. There is some excellent philosophy in his correspondence, and lots of laughs.
