Title: Another "suggest me movies" thread...Thought provoking,mystery,intelligent type
Post by: Sir_Hans on September 02, 2013, 05:25:09 am
I'm looking for "intelligent", thought provoking films... mystery n stuff like that
I liked "Source code"
"Inception" was pretty good.
I kinda liked "1408"
Sci fiction is cool... Horror is cool... even action/drama are cool... subject matter involving occult/cults or satan/demons are a big bonus also :3
That korean film "Oldboy" was good too
I like the newer startreks... and the old ones are ok...
I really liked City of God, the first matix,

Mainly would rather stay away from Conspiracy or Documentary unless they are really good thought provoking/convincing ones.
"Secrets in plain sight" was a cool documentary I liked.

When I say intelligent films, I'm mainly talking about films that don't have endless amounts of unanswered questions, loopholes, or subject matter that's not convincing whatsoever. That's all I mean.

Alright? Shoot me some suggestions!  :mrgreen:



(Edit) If your looking for another movie thread with good suggestions, here's a link to the "Medieval Movies" thread:

If you liked 1408, maybe the Paranormal Activity films are for you? Or what about Hide and Seek? Or The Others with Kidman? Maybe even Identity, if you haven't seen it yet.

Then there are the classics like Fight Club, Memento, Twelve Monkeys, Machinist, One Hour Photo, The Prestige, Cube (only the first one), Saw (only the first one, and maybe, just maybe the second one, too, but the rest are crap) and so on.

Oh, and I can second the suggestion for Dark City, it's a not very well known gem.

Some more suggestions I liked: Primer, Pi, The Jacket, Stay, The Illusionist, The Mothman Prophecies.

Or if you really want something you have to puzzle about for hours, try some David Lynch films, like Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway.

District 9 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/?ref_=sr_1)

You have probably already seen it, but who cares. It deserves another watch if it is a while since you saw it last.

Also, Se7en.

Not sure if he will like the whole PA series. Except for Katie Featherstone's boobs I found nothing too exciting about movie #4.

Maybe you wanna give Das Kind (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1921111/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) a try?

seems like all the good 'thought provoking' ones have been mentioned...

all ive got left is donnie darko.

Post by: Sir_Hans on September 03, 2013, 06:03:02 am
Great suggestions thanks! +1 for all yall... got a list now of torrents to get  :mrgreen:

Haven't watched the paranormal activities... might give the first one a try just to see what the hoopla is about. I liked "the ring"... so maybe I can hope its on the level?

Cube (old one) is a great suggestion, fucking loved that movie... even the new one was Ok... just no where as good as the first.
Seen donnie darko a couple times but I never was a fan, though I don't remember much besides the rabbit mask so might give that a shot again.
Requiem for a dream is definitely one of those movies you only need to see once... every time I hear that song, I visualize ass to ass lol.

Most of the other suggestions I haven't seen and I will give them a shot  :mrgreen:

Keep it going, I'll need more eventually :D

You might like Stalker, though its largely thought provoking because its quite a slow moving story with occasional philosophical bits. Just make sure you have time set aside to watch it all the way through without getting distracted. 2001 has kind of a similar style

Blade Runner is quite thought provoking. Spoilers ahead, don't read if you haven't watched it
(click to show/hide)

TBH I'd read anything by Philip K Dick if you want that type of thing, or maybe get audiobooks if there are any

Oh, also David Chronenburg did some weired films. Naked Lunch, Videodrome etc.

Trance is a very decent movie. It's not as mindfuck as some others mentioned here, but it's well worth the watch.
Oh oh Shutter Island! Also an amazing mystery movie, fits this topic perfectly.

Incredible movies that also fit this topic:
The Man from Earth (loved this one)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Beautiful Mind
Pandorum
The Ninth Gate
The Fountain
Moon

Great submissions guys! I dare to present the following movie, as i believe it will not spoil the line-up:
 
K-PAX (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272152/)

Kevin Spacey is a great actor by the way! I wish he would make more movies...
 
------------------------------------
 
Not exactly a mystery movie, but a great drama, with an incredible acting, directing and, basically, everything else! Rarely does a single men's performance in a movie, make me feel as uncomfortable, as Daniel Day-Lewis's did in There Will Be Blood. Paul Dano was amazing as support actor - what a memorable role!
 
Although my love for this movie, might have something to do with my grandfather being a very close copy of main character... So I might be relating to it on a different level.. Still! A superb drama!

There Will Be Blood (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/fullcredits?ref_=tt_cl_sm#cast)

I believe this scene will stay with me forever :D

Drainage! Dra-a-aaaa-aaaainaa-aaa-aage!

I'm not one who can tell the difference between a good book and a bad one, if its one i enjoy reading (has a cool setting, action and not too cheesy characters) I don't care how bad the writing is or what not
Same goes with movies

That being said, i still think you should give both the book and the movie a try, I thought they were very good

The Road is an epic movie... I wish they would do sequels to it non-related to the first movie... like other random characters in another part of the world but same time period... Or have the main characters be the bad guys for once.
 :mrgreen:

Wish more movies were as good as "the road".

Prisoners (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/prisoners_2013/) is a decent character thriller that I believe didn't get the reception it deserved.

Blue Ruin (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/blue_ruin/) is a painfully realistic revenge flick.

Locke (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/locke/) proves that Tom Hardy is mesmerizing, even if he's the only actor you see in an entire film.

I have a feeling you'd also appreciate anything by Martin Scorcese. I mean, who doesn't, really?

Since there's quite a few of The Road fans here, I've seen this a few days ago and it's pretty decent:
The Last Days (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935914/?ref_=nv_sr_2)

The Rover (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2345737/?ref_=nv_sr_1) is also a good movie, imo.

I found "Avalon" to be quite tought provoking, with a touch of mystery in an universe that gamers may enjoy.
The music, especially, was quite exceptionnal.
