Good make-you-think movies

[sabotah]

Hey peeps, recently I have been in the mood for the extremely rare headf**k style movies that really make you think afterwards. The ones where you are forced to google it afterwards to find additional info that you didnt get the first time around, or to check alternate theories. The ones that leave you silent for a good few minutes while you

imo, Vanilla Sky should be on the list - and I'm sure I'll remember more over time.

queuing it up again, i cant remember much about the movie - perhaps i didnt fully understand it the first time around :P

You forgot Pi. That *NEEDS* to be on there. Makes you think just as much as FightCLub or Primer does.

hmm... its in the good but not as thinky section, it lacks that edge that the others have - imo. Sorry, biased list :(

but yeah, i did forget it for the second section, thanks

Not as thinky!?!>?!?
Yeah, maybe if you're not interested in the possible existance of God, or the meaning of life, the universe and everying AT ALL.

The biggest difference between Primer and Pi, since they're both budget, independant, arthouse films, is that Pi actually is based more in reality than Primer. Primer is about time travel, which is impossible. Pi is about a simple number being the elementary Theory of Everything, the number from which *everything* in this universe is extrapolated from.

Maybe it's just me... I tend to notice patterns in numbers compulsively, so maybe I'm biased, as well.

Also, for the list - Donnie Darko
