Did you watch children of dune, the mini series? I thought it was well done.

Salo is messed up. I felt physically ill watching it. It's also kinda boring, but morbid curiosity keeps you watching.

A personal favorite : Blow-Up
And if you thought Inception was cool... try Memento

yea i did, quite recently...the entire serie in one go...a 5 hours movie
both the book and the movie have a magical way of explaining stuff while the serie just plain out tells you the story, but with quite alot more detail compared to the movie. Also they got some characters wrong, especially Paul himself and his mother.

QFT. Lynch didn't like it because he wasn't in full control of the movie. You can tell it was a bloated money sink, but a bloated money sink that turned into a great interpretation of the classic books.
Also, though it's been mentioned b4 it needs to be mentioned again. If you want to see a movie that is cleverer than you see:

does "Limitless" count?
here are the steps:
+ Show Spoiler +
Step 1. Watch the movie "Limitless"
Step 2. Take smart drugs, aka nootropics, i.e. Piracetam + some kind of choline source
Step 3. You are now president of the world
Congratulation Mr. President

I think I saw a jinro interview where he mentioned the movie Revolver. I downloaded it and checked it out. It is an amazing movie about ego. It became one of my immediate favourites.

I recall watching that with a bunch friends and not liking it at all. No doubt I wasn't focused enough for any intellectual film at that point, but it really felt like a pretentious film with some plot twists trying to make the film way smarter than it actually was. I probably should give it another try some time when I'm in a state I can actually appreciate a smart film.
Edit: Hmmh, apparently a lot of people liking it. I better give it another chance.

david lynch movies are hardly intellectual, they are more eye candy type films. maybe blue velvet though?

Primer is an absolute masterpiece.... I found a "timeline" of the movie...
Just look at the picture in the spoiler, mind will be blown.

Primer is the only film that let me that confused. I didn't understand this movie even at the most basic, linear level. I couldn't even tell you if it's good or clever because I just didn't understand anything.

Lost in Translation has been mentioned a few times.
It's not really a brain buster in terms of complexity or plot twists, but it's a wonderful and kind of calm and thoughtful movie. It kind of breathes on it's own and leaves quite a lot of room for thoughts instead of aggressively pushing from one scene to another.

I can vouch for primer, but really I saw it more as a complete mindfuck.
Definitely worth a watch though, and don't feel bad if you have to look online after the movie for an explanation. It is REALLY confusing.
