The nines - if you like a film that's also a puzzle you'll love this one. Ryan Reynolds is actually amazing in this, everyone I've reccommended it to has loved it.

Memento - great film all round if a tad confusing at times.

Kurosawa makes extremely intellectual films, and they are all delightful to watch even if you don't understand the subtext.

A good start is: Rashomon, High and Low, Ikiru, but there are countless others..
its me, tasteless,s roomate LOL!

The films of Ingmar Bergman. Definitely not a director for the casual viewer. In my younger years I didn't get his films at all and thought they were boring and trash. But as an adult I can really appreciate his genius now.

I like Braveheart. Mel Gibson is amazing and when you find out Sophie Marceau is pregnant it's like BOOM mind explodes. Such a ridic hot French girl gets with a blood-stained, dirty, kilt-wearing peasant man simply because he knows when to raise the spears to kill the English. That movie really made me think about life and realize that the only thing you really need to be a hero and get the super super hot French girls is to be really good at killing the English.

I have to say Inception is one of the best movies I have seen in a LONG LONG time.

Kinsey
Enter the Void

Three great movies about loneliness:
Solaris (1976 version, not the 2002 remake with Clooney)
The Shining
Moon

I'd like to give a shoutout to Shutter Island. It's not the most intellectual movie I've seen, but it's still good. If it's not in your taste, then try the book.

The last one I saw that to me was nothing but a Philosophy anthology which kept my mind active and brought me further and further inside. Solaris, by Tarkovskij.

I can strongly recommend Stalker as well from him, It's probably more understandable and a better movie in my eyes

Ah yeah the man from earth was a nice movie and made on such a small budget too.

I wouldn't exactly call it an intellectual movie, but I enjoyed the movie Amadeus which sort of describes how it would be to live in the shadow of a genius you loathe and love at the same time.

not intellectual, not good.

Primer seems to be complicated for the sake of being complicated, but I enjoyed it.

Haha, you can't express your views about a work of art with such authority, this is not the strategy forum xD.

On topic though, I would suggest « Apocalypse Now » and « Inception » (most of Coppola's and Nolan's films would fit the "intellectual" category, I guess). I'll add « V for Vendetta », written by the Wachowsky brothers.
