You know about the guys from your "generation" that made movies resembling that style, but not the guys that actually invented something like this. Directors that come to mind that used similar techniques are Nolan and Noe from the top of my head and only one of those went on to "feature" films so people that see one of his feature films may also watch some of his older work. Inception gets such a great grade because it is for example one of the newer movies that are good and thus is more publicly accepted and is accessible to a broader audience right now. You can bring up so many names that revolutionized cinema and many people have no idea who they are since they wouldn't like to watch they're "old" stuff. That's just how people are nowadays and it is kinda sad :/ True that Edit , I keep hearing Primer was good , need to watch that . I saw the "Repomen " recently, and enjoyed it, of course the book it is based on is way better... | ||

In terms of style, scope, and influence Citizen Kane is still the greatest film ever made. It also happens to be a "thinking film" | ||

Try these: Diva Pi Tarnation (exception to hollywood) Kaufman's: Eternal Sunshine Being John Malkovich Synecdoche New York anything: Godard Aranofsky Wong Kar Wai Lynch Miyazaki Mizuguchi (Kurosawa is more of a form artist) | ||

Agree with Pi, anything David Lynch Barton Fink by the Coen Brothers, I call it a movie of intellectual horror. 2001 Blade Runner and Apocalypse Now are a couple that are not of a real intellectual focus but provoke dense thought. | ||

Brain tease for the pseudo-intellectuals maybe. yep. although the wrestler was good. - requiem is probably the most repetitive movie ive ever seen. the first time its like wow this is really really good, and then its like fuck that. havent seen black swan but it seems pretentious like his other films. | ||

Mr. Nobody changed my view on films.. Beside that i got some usual suspects for you (hehe, that film is GREAT too) : Fight Club Clockwork Orange Cidade de Deus Inception (its new school but its gold) Oldboy (really good korean movie) The departed (leonardo di caprio is not so bad after all) Shutter Island ( like i said, leonardos recent acting carreer is quite promising) American Psycho Lock stock and two smoking barrels (must see) Snatch (must see) Once upon a time in America (most underrated sergio leone movie...its just an epos, really good movie) Casino 12 Monkeys Leon the Professional (astonishing) Trainspotting Truman Show Gran Torino In Bruges (great european movie) Magnolia The painted veil (really enjoyable movie) La Haine Interview with the Vampire Head-on (good german-turkish movie) Good bye Lenin! (funny and good German movie about the last days/weeks and the aftermath of the DDR) Annie Hall Whatever works and nearly all Kurosawa movies and last but not least: Taxi Driver (not that french taxi movie, the 1970 Robert de niro movie) I probably forgot many many movie jewels but thats my list Recommendation: Watch them if you didnt see them! And i consider all movies on the list as "intellectual", some of them might not seem like the classical intellectual movie, but they are, more than so many many pseudo intellectual movies. One of the reason why they are so intellectual, is , that they will be/are movie history at its best, they will be watched by generations and generations after us as their time describing movies. | ||

 Doctor Zhivago (READ BOOK ASAP !) Pink Floyd The Wall (I would recommend watching the movie a couple of times, be amazed of what your head remembers each time) Dobrý voják Svejk (also if you can, read the book - first world war, all the strange encounters .. very satiric) Le Voie Lactee (Buñuel, about life haha .. still the best movie) Kuhle Wampe Oder Wem Gehoert Die Welt (classic Bertolt Brecht [although only one of the writers] working class struggle in the 30s, socialist/communist) The Watchman (there is much more to this movie than it seems, for me at least) | ||
