American Beauty and Identity are two that quickly came to mind for me.

and skip the ones that just got there because they are too popular (e.g. The Lord of the Rings)

The Andromeda Strain

from IMDB.com: "Plot Outline: A group of scientists investigate a deadly new alien virus before it can spread."

A group of scientists working in a room for 2 hours. You can't get more intellectual than that.

(but seriously, it's a fine movie)

Fight Club has come up a few times in this thread. Personally, I would suggest that Clockwork Orange did everything Fight Club wanted to do, but with so much more depth and subtlety.


I don't get this, how can you compare them so directly like that, and what did Fight Club want to that A Clockwork Orange did better? You could say they are both about the established society versus anarchy, but they both had different points, different messages.

But what I'm really wondering is how anyone would consider American History X as an "intellectual movie".

Why watching movies based on novels if they're fucked up in most cases? (eg. Solaris, I, Robot, Sphere, LOTR etc.) Read the books instead.
But for some intellectual movies that probably haven't been mentioned here (dunno cuz I didn't read all the posts).

Kinsey
The sixth sense
Meet Joe Black
Finding Neverland
Space odyssey 2001
Sphere
Jurassic Park (yes, it's intellectual movie, book still better)
Gorillas in the mist

And when it comes to Kieslowski I'd go for his decalog instead of three colours, I don't like him anyway but decalog >>>> three colours.
Time is precious. Waste it wisely.

That's because you don't understand it. It brilliantly uses the Vietnam War as a context to ask big questions about the meaning of civilization. Any movie that takes Heart of Darkness and puts the story in the context of a recent war is already something of a phenomenon. This isn't to mention how well things like music, acting, and cinematography come together. It's one of the most memorable movies you'll ever see.

Not necessarily a "deep thinker" but a pretty awsome and intense ending "Requiem for a Dream" thought provoking, but not terribly deep. Still a beautfiul movie loaded with great acting and a look at the affects of drugs on your average white male, average white girl and a minority. Whats the worst that could happen to all 3?
