    Movies That Make You Think
    I need some movie suggestions of ones that make you think. Ones that have crazy underlying story plots that are not revealed until the end and surprise you/add twists to the movie. Also more adventure infused.

    Specific ones I am think of are Inside Man, National Treasure, etc.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    I disagree, it's all pretty one sided while watching the film and it doesn't really become ambiguous until it finishes.


    Anyway, Honeo, you know there is a specific genre for this? It's called "Psychological Thriller". Try having a look at this list of top 15 Psychological Thrillers: http://listverse.com/2008/06/23/top-15-psychological-thrillers/

    Aftershock, it's about an earthquake in China 1977ish.
    Without a doubt one of the best movies I've ever seen. Too bad it's spoken in mandarin.

    The Usual Suspects - you're gonna love this one, it fits your criteria perfectly and it's just an incredible movie.

    My favorite movie in the genre you described is Fight Club. Its very interesting and makes you think, and the ending will surprise you if you haven't seen it already.

    So many of you are just repeating Inception. You aren't helping at all. Memento, The Machinist, Brick and Gone Baby Gone are some good thrillers.

    Inception is for sure one to think about. At the end it really does leave you thinking, then you think about all the small bits in the movie because of the ending.

    Films by pioneers Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, and Alejandro Jororowsky, and films by a new wave of intellectual directors like Paul Thomas Anderson, Darren Aronofsky, Terrence Malick, and David Lynch.

    Inception, Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Stepford Wives are all very good movies that will get your mind working a bit.

    Inception was definitely pretty trippy, and maybe in time
