which movie made you think most?
 

in any possible direction.
good thoughts, bad thoughts, funny thoughts, sad thoughts.

and why?

Lord of the Rings. yeah, i don't know why but i was really amazed with the trilogy movie. Even if i watched it three times already, I still want to watch it over and over.

A porn....?

pulp fiction and trainspotting, best films of all times!

the matrix trilogy

i still have no fucking clue WTF happened there

A Space Odyessey 2001, although I am a huge fan of others Kubrick's movies, until I got a friend who read the A.C.Clark's original to watch that with me I was really lost, on the other hand the Clockwork Orange was something that I understood quite naturally :)

From Justin To Kelly

It made me think about how short life really is, how friends and family are important, and how to overcome adversity

Ghandi + Lord of the Rings

A Beautiful Mind...

Winter Light... Made me happy about my constant existencial agony.

I read the Lord of the rings when I was about twelve years old, and once I saw that on video I did thought people who haven't read the original will have it tough..

Am I the only one that thinks the "Lord of the Rings" and Matrix was boring and sucked..?

yes

45678

Many movies made me think, but at the top are:

- Pink Floyd's The Wall
- Requiem For a Dream

:1orglaugh

Well, to be honest, they first ones did not suck that bad, but still I do not see what all the hype was about...

That 3rd LOTR movie was loooong winded...

As for LOTR, read the books.

One of the greatest novel adaptations ever made on the silver screen, the original from Hubert Selby Jr. is a tough thing to read and so is the movie to watch.

Yes, I havent read the book but I did read Last Exit to Brooklyn, his other well-known novel.

Filmed by Uli Edel in 1989, I recommend "The songs of the silent snow" as well, a top collection of short novels wrote by the life itself.

This movie was really really fantastic..

what the bleep do we know.....

Really I thought 2001 was the most boring movie I ever watched.

Salo, by Pasolini.

I absolutely hated it, but it confronted me very harshly with the reality that there are many in the world who take pleasure in the suffering of others. Watching that movie basically made me lose all my faith in humanity.

requiem for a dream was almost over the top.


not a movie to watch at sunday afternoons if you are bored.


but hey that would be better then watching that movie with a bad mood already

The Matrix

do you post this in every thread i create ;):1orglaugh

Yes, cause without knowing the novel there is no way to find even a glimpse of sense in it.

The wall - movie (and the music of course) shows the things you can hardly explain in words
The color of money - its great when you do something and you like that cause it makes you money but its still nothing comparing to do something because you simply love it.

Cidade de Deus I thought a lot about how shit it must be for them. If u don't know the movie go to the videostore now.

If don't take into account Russian (actually Soviet) movies, the list will look like this: Eyes Wide Shut, Departed, Dead Man, The People vs. Larry Flynt etc.

As about LOTR, so it's a pure entertainment movie - it's not intended to make you think IMHO

good one.

the secret

the fountain

:thumbsup

Great flick. I had it on VHS but lost it.

I love the lord of the rings movies but as someone else already mentioned: What the fuck is there to think about? Its entertainment. You watch it and let the characters in the movie do the thinking. Wtf.

My top 3 intellectual movies which made think for months:

House of Wax (with P.Hilton)
Spiderman
And
The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear

If you want a philosophical weekend with some of your closest friends i suggest renting the movies mentioned above.

I think i rubbed one out watching it.

Great movie but it didnt really get me thinking. I mean whats there to think about really?

Hitler: The Rise of Evil
requiem for a dream

'man bites dog' was a real thinker so was cemetery man and of course my old fav: blood sucking freaks

I love film. Any time I watch a movie my mind is going a mile a minute. Absorbing, studying and critiquing.

Does that count as thinking? :1orglaugh

American History X was very inspiring.

Momento.

shoooooot.....harold and maude oooh baby that was amazing
