The Man from Earth (PG) 8.0

The Man from Earth (2007): An impromptu goodbye party for Professor John Oldman becomes a mysterious interrogation after the retiring scholar reveals to his colleagues he is an immortal who has walked the earth for 14,000 years. (8.0)

Director: Richard Schenkman
Stars: David Lee Smith, Tony Todd and John Billingsley

An interesting twist halfway through the movie when the conversation turns to religion. Though, I'd think that the story wouldn't hold much interest to a wider audience if the predominant religion hadn't been picked for the story. I don't think of this so much as a sci-fi movie than a thinking (philosophical) one. Highly recommend it. My rating: 8.0
