Which movies have left you staring at the screen, dumbfounded, or made you think a lot? ?

I'm talking in a good way. Which movies have had this result on you?

I'll list some that just came to my mind -

Whiplash

American History X

Inception

Shawshank Redemption

Silence of the Lambs.

The Usual Suspects

Shutter Island.

I'll keep adding as more movies will come to my mind.

In no particular order...

• Whiplash
• Us
• Memento
• No Country for Old Men
• The Silence of the Lambs
• The Dark Knight
• The Departed
• Pulp Fiction

@mrmonster:

Aside from Us which I haven't seen, I agree with all your choices other than the last two

Mission to Mars.

Maze Runner.

@richubs: Fair enough.

this may sound crazy

but

The first avengers back in 2014 when i saw it first time after two years of its release i was like what next ? then google and rest is history

little i know back at then that these will lead me to becoming a huge nerd that i am now today

@supermanthor:

Nothing crazy about it bro. Avengers 1 is a big milestone on how to make a shared franchise. Something everyone else is failing at.

No order:

• The Godfather
• Shawshank Redemption
• Heat
• About Elie
• The Past
• The Salesman
• The Departed
• Unbreakable
• Interstellar
• The Dark Knight
• Logan
• The Godfather 2
• Scarface
• Goodfellas
• The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
• The Godfather 3
• Whiplash
• The Usual Suspects
• Yojimbo
• Seven Samurai
• High and Low

However the No.1 place goes to Memento, it still blows my mind.

Logan and Endgame come to mind

And a lot of other films are already mentioned above.

The End of Evangelion.

I don't think any movie has made me think like that tbh

it's just a film on a big screen!

The Imitation Game

Scent of a woman

The Silence of the lambs

Logan

The Return of the King

Matrix

Infinity War

V For Vendetta

The last samurai

That I can think of right now. Probably there are more.

Angel's Egg - its a dream-like experience, very familiar and nostalgic

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids - Even now that I am an adult, I would often still imagine what would it be like to become a quarter of an inch human, everytime I look at the lawn.

Jacob's Ladder - It made me think about those stories of "hellish" NDE's

Last Feast of the Crocodiles - I like nature.

Waking Life - Pretentious crap but none the less thought provoking at some points

Nice choices everyone

Bump

The most serious case I recall is Solaris.

Also for video games, it was Gemini Rue.

@theinsufferable: If you liked Solaris I’d suggest you read the book; but get the most recently translated version which can only be found online.

OT: The first one which comes to mind is Predestination.

Matrix

Animated Doctor Strange

Fight Club ??

There Will Be Blood

Pretty much every movie RiffTrax ever riffed.
