It's actually not at all a biography of Mozart, nor is it really even about Mozart. It's more just a fictional story about a rival composer of Mozart, who becomes insanely jealous of Mozart's effortless talents. The story is in some ways simple, but it is so perfectly told that it will really cause you to philosophize upon so many aspects of life. To me, personally, the film is like a spiritual journey for atheists -- the movie is told from the perspective of an insane old man confessing to a priest, and yet by the time the movie ends, we see that the insane old man is better able to console others around him than the priest is. Why is that? I could write at length about all the subtleties the movie employs in various scenes, but you really need to just see the movie. It racked up numerous Academy Awards including Best Picture, and it deserved them all. Edit: Children of Men is another strong choice. Great story. | ||

Malick's most ambitious work yet (which says quite a bit considering his previous films). I would compare it to 2001 such that you have to be patient, but it is completely rewarding. As with his other films, don't count on compelling dialogue to move the narrative forward, but the visual imagery to knit it together. | ||

Watchmen (characters with different facets of morality) Fight Club (dont let people hype it up too much for you) A Requiem for a Dream (be careful how you watch this...) American History X (i'm not sure how much of a "thinker movie" this is, but the ending is great in a horrible way) Movies I haven't seen, but I've read the books A Clockwork Orange (make sure to check out the book ending too, it is different) Catch 22 One Flew over the Cukoos Nest | ||

I can't be the only one who disliked I Heart Huchabees. I really can't see the appeal. It's been mentioned before, but I'd like to give a nod to Blade Runner. I'd been told to see it for years, and never got around to it. I was prepared to hate it, went into it thinking I'd hate it, and hated it 45 minutes in. I didn't like the art style and thought Harrison Ford was poorly cast. But... I ended up loving it. The movie tricked me into thinking it would be really one dimensional and somewhat predicable. It was not. The futuristic noir style, which was strange at first, really grew on me as well. It's a must-see. | ||
