What movie do you recommend?

Question

I like movies that make me thing afterward, like The life of david gale... or V for vendetta... something like that, that will really make me think differently about something.

**think egnore my spelling mishaps.

Thanks everone who posts, I am a big movie person so if I havnt seen what you recommend I promise ill see it.

Answer 1

"V for Vendetta" was excellent and deals with a very important subject to us all, our liberty.

Answer 2

"Nuts" makes you think, makes you try to figure out why Barbra Streisand's character is the way she is.

Bram Stoker's Dracula ... I this movie! Funny, I was actually sad to see a monster die. If you haven't seen it, see it, and find out why a monster's death would be sad.

The Joy Luck Club makes you cry throughout the movie. I've seen it several times, and every time I see it, all of those same scenes make me cry.

Like Water for Chocolate... forbidden love!!! I know you asked about movies that make you think, but I couldn't leave this one out. It's a very sensual movie, but not just sexual. It's and voluptuous. The MOVIE, I don't mean the actress. I read the book and it's better of course, but I was not disappointed when I saw the movie afterward. I don't wanna say any more about it to ruin it. The only thing I will say is that it's in Spanish with English subtitles. Here is a page that shows the awards this movie won and was nominated for:

Answer 3

Pay It Forward
As Good As It Gets
American Beauty
The Legends Of The Fall
Forrest Gump

Answer 4

The Gods Must be Crazy is always good for laughs. Think National Geographic special meets the Three Stooges.

If you want a serious Western, get The Searchers, staring John Wayne.

Answer 5

Donnie Darko
Garden State
BBM
Proof
Being John Malkovich
Seven
Hotel Rwanda

Answer 6

The top 2 that spring to mind are Fight Club (which was huge so I'm sure you know all about that one, lol) and one called Cradle Will Rock from 1999. Here is a link to the IMDB page for Cradle Will Rock if you'd like to check it out.

~*If you haven't seen Fight Club, please scurry off and watch it as soon as you can before someone inadvertently ruins it for you. It contains a rather major plot twist that was tragically spoiled for me before I ever saw the film. I would give anything to be able to go back and watch the film without knowing the secret!*~

Excellent question by the way! ;)

Answer 7

I'm Brazilian and the best movie from Brazil is "City of God"
It's a movie about poverty and crime with a real story behind it. I would say this is exactly what happen in the slums of Rio de Janeiro. I think you will like it even being a foreign movie for you.

Answer 8

Robert Altman makes a lot of good ensemble cast movies that get one thinking. He's done M*A*S*H, Magnolia, Short Cuts and many more. Worth checking out! Some of his movies can be kind of depressing, so don't watch if you're already in a down mood.

Answer 9

The Outsiders is pretty excellent.

Brokeback Mt.

Big Fish.

Stage Beauty.

Fight Club.

The Family Stone is really good too, even though it got bad reviews.

The Royal Tanenbaums.

Answer 10

Unbreakable.....It has Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson and is directed by M Night Shyamalan. All his movies are thinkable...Signs, Sixth Sense. The movie has everything you asked for and more and the great thing is it came out in 2000 so you can rent it easily here is info tell me what you think.

Answer 11

Big Fish and Finding Neverland
