movies that make you think

one thing i love most of all, are movies that really make you think afterwards.. i find them the only type of movie that is actually truly worth watching. iv seen some good ones such as hate, american history x, fight club... yah the basics, but does anyone else have any suggestions on good movies of this type?

 

forest gump
lord of war
spun
Pi (i didnt saw it)

oh my god i cant remember i god damn thing!!!!
i'l post other ones when i remember

en passant je parle francais aussi

 

Craig you suck, but just to be nice I'll add some movies:
-The Matrix (if you manage to see past all the special effects)
-A Clockwork orange
-American Beauty
-Boys don't cry (Never seen it but supposedly is good)
-Contact

 

There are so many good thinking movies:

- Being John Malkovich
- Adaptation <----I love this one so much
- Magnolia
- Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
- Baraka
- The Weather Underground
- Capturing the Friedmans
- Vanilla Sky
- Elephant by Gus Van Strat
- The Believer
- Primer (though confusing as all hell)
and more...

 

AMELIA POULAIN - take MDMA watching it!
DE ZEE DIE DENKT - dutch movie - english "the sea that thinks (it is a tree)"
WAKING LIFE

 

waking life, lost highway, eraserhead, and twin peaks: fire walk with me, other david lynch films but these are the most bizzar one also to actuly figure out what is happening will take a couple watches and alot of thinking, Pi is very good. brazil is also a film that takes a couple times of watching for you to get it, naked lunch, good short film is Un Chien Andalou a short film make in the 1920s one of my favorite films of all time

 

ehhhh these realy arnt that strong of thinking movies most of the plots and ideas are stright forward, clockwork orange is and a littile of american beuty good movies but not THAT thought provocing

 

UN CHIEN ANDALOU

Brazil

You name it.

 

fire walk with me? the guys having sex with his daughter...it doesn't make me think it makes me want to remove people from the face of the earth.

Brazil...the whole Gilliam series, Time Bandits and Baron Munch are all very great.

 

yeah the whole gilliam series has ALOT of symbolism i havent seen munch but i realy want to, and Twin Peaks is definitly more then just one 4 minute sence its a very complex movie like lost highway(my favorite lynch film) or muhollen dr.(which was ok)

 

This movie makes no sense. So i would say it isn't very good for thinking. Salvador Dali helped write this, and he said that they tried to make the movie make absolutley no sense.

 

the film is made to shock and make the audience feel emotions its a thinking films in the sence of the emotions and thoughts it produces, it wasnt just to make a film for the hell of it there was reason, and there isnt a "hidden meaning" the film is basicly a dream

 

The Wall

 

"Mindwalk" is a trip, I'd definitely recommend that; also check out "Genesis" and "Microcosmos" which are more like a combo of art film and documentary but worth the watch. Might be better if you smoke weed, but I saw them without smoking and still loved them. "Baraka" is also similar to these. I also liked "Beyond Borders" which I found pretty moving.
