Movies What's the most intelligent, thought provoking movie?

[SummerStriker]

The Fountain

That's literally my favorite movie.

 

[Daverisimo]

Persona

Not my favorite Ingmar Bergman film, but it's probably his most cerebral.

Also, most David Lynch films are worth mentioning, but I'll go ahead and single out Mulholland Drive

Hell yes. I really like this movie.

He knew Sammy Jankis before he ever had an accident.

We don't know to what degree Teddy is telling the truth. We don't know what actually happened to his wife. Ultimately the film leaves a lot of unanswered questions that are fun to think through and analyze. But no, not a plot hole.

Absolutely is a plot hole, among others in the movie. They even showed the wife surviving the invasion and the prick from the insulin needle.

Here's another one- his condition is wildly inconsistent. He can remember certain things seemingly for hours, minutes, or seconds, depending on what the plot needs. He remembered everything Teddy told him, even after leaving the scene and driving away, but he couldn't remember the bartender spitting in a drink right in front of him.

It's still an entertaining movie and the stuff I mentioned doesn't really take away from the central them that someone like that can easily be manipulated.

The movie is fvcking depressing

It sure is.

That’s one that stuck with me after watching it.

Ended up buying it on Blu-ray so I could rewatch it.

Found it sad and interesting at the same time.

The whole “time thing…”

I was watching movies like this in 1st grade...

 

[StonedLemur]

Waking Life

 

[nonoob]

Conan - the meaning of life

Office Space - What we want in life

Yes, those were two cool flicks.
​

Throw in Goodwill Hunting - Damon & Robin were both fantastic characters.

Great call on One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, Jack sure AF was great there. Mental health care in USA was super tough then, and still is now.

Prisoners in the fact it shows how desperate a man can be when his child is abducted.

Good movie. Don't get how that's intelligent or thought provoking tho

Waking Life

Aw man the feels and nostalgia I got reading that title

It's definitely thought provoking sir.
I've watched it quite a few times.

Pirates staring the late Jesse Jane

The scene with her and Janine was hit as fuck.

My brother used to have it on a loop playing in his room when we were in high school

Back when Alex Jones was cool and interesting and not just a puffier, fatter Republican talking head

miss them days

I might be older than you, as I seen it when it came out and I was in my early 20s lol.
I can see that being a "loop" kind of movie for sure.
