Most Intelligent movies ever?


Recommended Posts

Brazil, very smart and funny movie.

Darn I thought no one was going to say Brazil.

What an amazing movie, one of my favourites. :D

I'd say Donnie Darko

Serious? The plot was far fetched but entertaining nonetheless...

+1 A Beautiful Mind. That is one movie you have to see.

Fight Club

The Matrix trilogy

Cube 2: Hypercube (never did see the original... :( )

12 Monkeys

The Butterfly Effect

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

What is this Matrix trilogy you speak of? As far as I am concerned there is only one Matrix movie. Any sequels you may have seen are just figments of your imagination.

Ghost In the Shell

Avalon

Ghost In The Shell: Innocence

2001 A Space Odyssey

And, most recently, The Dark Knight is a really intelligent movie.

2001 A Space Odyssey

A Clockwork Orange

Dr. Strangelove (definitely)

Enemy of the State

Face Off

Fight Club

Full Metal Jacket

Minority Report

One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest

Ronin (smart movie that makes an attempt at being intelligent, good nonetheless)

Twelve Monkeys

That's my list. Depends on your definition of intelligence, I figure any movie that makes you think and actually care about characters' actions/emotions is an intelligent movie. They also have some pretty decent action scenes that aren't overboard, so you will enjoy it.

As you can see, a good amount of movies are made by Stanley Kubrick

lol... I've been saying that for years now. :) The first one had an open ending, but definitely not an unfinished story. It was fine standing alone to me and is one of my favorite movies.

@Brazil: Yes! Very smart, very dark, very funny.

Wow, I thought seeing Die Hard 4 was hilarious......But anime? Really? That would have to be a whole other list since it is really a completely different medium. Most of the good, intelligent thought provoking stuff is series, not movies.

i like die hard 4 it was amazing

while i liked the 300 mind blowing ! :D really loved it

What are intellectually great? Maybe 300 for its war-in-ancient era-esque approach but Die Hard 4?

What about Da Vinci Code? Intelligent that movie?

No, and neither is the book.

'The Name of the Rose' on the other hand is intelligent. Make sure to read the book before watching the film.

Primer is the most complex, intelligent movie I've ever seen. It's about some guys that accidentally invent time travel.

review quote: "anybody who claims to fully understand what's going on in Primer after seeing it just once is either a savant or a liar."
