2001 is quite an epic movie with no real clear " end ". It really does cause someone to contemplate a few things deeply but not in a "middle schooler way" like the movie donnie darko.

That's what I was going to say. Not much of a movie, just more of an awesome continuous conversation with your mind.

I watch it all the time.

I dont mean to be offensive to anyone, but a few of you should expand your mind a little more and look into a few "deeper" movies. Some of the movies listed here and just summer box office movies.

2001 space odyssey
Pi
Moon
Clockwork Orange
Oldboy

On the other hand, any movie that forces you think on a deep level once you have stepped away from the theater may fit into this thread.

It doesn't exactly provoke your mind...neither does fight club...or untraceable.


But, I definitely agree with Moon and Clockwork Orange, also the fountain is really weird, tried to watch it high, couldn't do it. It's good though.

Have you heard of this thing called a book? It puts film to shame in this aspect. I don't know why people pay so much attention to plot in films...

Also, Inception was not a deep movie unless you are 15 years old and just learned how to smoke weed.

haha chill mo' fuzzy. I was responding to your comment about how you focus on plot and character development in films. I was just saying that films are inherently worse because they leave less to the imagination in terms of sensory detail, so I see little point in being put off by minute plot holes.

Also, I don't read just because I find the text-format utterly boring. Not that I'm proud of it, but I need light and sound in order to be truly captivated.
