Ah yes, Sophie's World was how our Philosophy teacher in high school introduced us to a wide variety of philosophers. I enjoyed watching it in class.
The Matrix is a very great philosophical movie, and sadly I have to agree with you that the sequels were not good. Part 1 is definitely among one of my most favorite movies. :D
It seems that, although we are not always aware to which philosophical thought our ideas belong to, we cannot escape that we too have subscribed to a personal philosophy.
