I don't think I've ever had my mind blown by a movie, though
Dawn of the Dead did make me think about buying a boat.

Fantastic movie.

"What the Bleep?" is full of pseudo-scientific bullshit that misrepresents quantum theory- it was funded largely by the church of a woman who claims to channel a Lemurian warrior named "Ramtha." :crazy3:

Ya I know they are books and ive read most if not all of them on that list, 1984, Fharenheit451, animal farm, fight club, Brave new world should be on that list but I dont think its a movie. I think that if books were included on this list there would just be way too many.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favorites.    Another movie written by Kaufman, Adaptation, is less deep but a more interesting plot IMO once you wrap your head around it all.

funny that it is that i'd say this


casino
goodfellas

i mean i know they were largely dramatized, but still the fact that aside from name changes, and dramatic renditions, all that was based on 90% facts, is crazy


also i'd have to say


saving private ryan
band of brothers
the pacific
tora tora tora


also, how about the series, generation kill


anyone seen that? a series about marines that were in afghanistan etc., written by how it happened. and the marines who were there actually played their own characters, fucking insane shit

Good one.

Another one along the same lines is "Being John Malkovich." And I'll second (third?) the Waking Life recommendation.

Also, in terms of war movies (like the guy above suggested), I think it's hard to beat Full Metal Jacket.

No movie could ever do justice of 1984.

Best book I've ever read.

The only movie I can think of that may hold a candle or even be better then the book, is Lord of the Rings.

no one ever mentions My Dinner With Andre on these boards.. that is a shame.



Quote:

The film depicts a conversation between Gregory and Shawn (apparently playing themselves) in a chic restaurant in New York City. Based mostly on conversation, the film's dialog covers such things as experimental theatre, the nature of theatre, and the nature of life. The dialogue contrasts Shawn's modest, down-to-earth humanism with Gregory's extravagant spiritual experiences.

don't get me wrong, i'm impressed by tolkein, but i can think of a few authors who have stuff that, to me personally, left my mind completely blown. william gibson, philip k dick, iain m banks. and then you have guys like plato, descarte etc. that's not even including comics, which has a highly impressive list of writers like grant morrison, warren *fucking* ellis and so on (and of course alan moore).

i can't leave out my favorite movie ever. nothing like the novel, but a true piece of sci fi noir. syd mead's crowning achievement as far as conceptual design goes. cyber-art-deco? yes please.



and they've just announced that prequel/sequels are in the works. not from ridley scott, but i'm optimistic.

http://sciencefictionworld.com/films/science-fiction-films/734-blade-runner-sequels-and-prequels-happening.html

and if anyone hasn't read this, do it. line for line adaptation of the novel in comic form.

Where's the love for Kubrik??  That guy is always blowing my mind.

2001:  A Space Odyssey is a movie that will make you think for weeks or months or forever. 

Full Metal Jacket has been mentioned.

A Clockwork Orange kind of changed society. 

Otherwise the movie Network is really one of my all-time favorites.  Genius work.

Visioneers is a little movie that forever changed the way I look at butter.  Really a cool movie.

What else?

Instinct inspired me to read the book on which it is based so that one really kind of opened my eyes to a new worldview.  The book is "Ishmael".  The movie is very loosely based on it.

I know there are more but I can't think of them now.  Maybe I'll come back.  Anyway, nice thread.  There are some movies mentioned that I haven't seen so now I have movies to watch!

I can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet:

Primer


It is actually the most mind-blowing I've ever seen, there are books on the explanation of this movie, I really recommend it.

I agree on the Animal Farm book. It's an eye-opener, for sure.

On the topic of movies, Gran Torino really got me, but that's somewhat on a more personal level as I watched it with my grandfather and he is my father figure in life, and Clint Eastwood being the old fucker that he is, kind of makes it easier to relate. Nonetheless, a great movie.

Memento also really amazed me. It's not like a life-changing movie or anything, none of the movies I'm going to suggest are. But it's a movie you can watch and really kind of get to know Leonard (The main character) and it can change the way you think of people with those kinds of disorders, or at least it did for me. Christopher Nolan is honestly one of the best directors out there right now, in my opinion.

And finally, another one that's no life-changer or anything, but really blew me away in terms of.. well, everything really. Inception. In my opinion it's almost, if not, the perfect movie. It has an amazing score, perfect actors (Leonardo Di Caprio, Ellen Page? Just to name a couple? YES!) it has an amazing, captivating score, it has a cool idea and a touching story to go with it, and not to mention, a great director behind it all. (Again, Christopher Nolan!)

2001:  A Space Odyssey is a movie that will make you think for weeks or months or forever. 

Full Metal Jacket has been mentioned.

A Clockwork Orange kind of changed society. 

Otherwise the movie Network is really one of my all-time favorites.  Genius work.

Visioneers is a little movie that forever changed the way I look at butter.  Really a cool movie.

What else?

Instinct inspired me to read the book on which it is based so that one really kind of opened my eyes to a new worldview.  The book is "Ishmael".  The movie is very loosely based on it.

I know there are more but I can't think of them now.  Maybe I'll come back.  Anyway, nice thread.  There are some movies mentioned that I haven't seen so now I have movies to watch!




2001 is a book
clockwork is a book

so are 'the shining' and 'barry lyndon' based off of novels. that doesn't make them great movies.

totally forgot about 'memento'. and honestly, the first 'matrix' movie blew my mind when i saw it. 'the animatrix' was really cool too.

that mark twain looks great. anyone read his autobio that just came out yet?

Fight club! I absolutely love the movie, I used to watch it every day when I discovered it, it still amazes me now how  much it speaks to me when I ocasionaly rewatch it, it's also IMO better then the book, one of the very few.

The other one that really touched me is Stephen Fry's documentary, The secret life of the manic-depressive, really pits things into perspective for me.

There are a huge lot of awesome movies, most of them mentioned, but for some reasons none really speak to me...:shrug:

"Mind Game" - 2004, simply a great life-affirming  movie. It was really strange the first time I watched this movie because I had an extremely similar near death experience involving a complete life review prior to finding out about this movie. My own near death experience and this movie both left me in complete tears and empathy.

The Road is one of those movies that i really liked but i honestly have a hard time recommending it to anyone.. im sure that doesnt make a lot of sense but whatever. its unbelievably bleak and depressing and there is no hope for the future.

my only complaint with The Road is that i kinda wish there was another 30-40 min of the film where it is just the guy and his kid.. no one else. i dont want them doing anything either.. i dont want to see anything happen at all. there doesnt even need to be any dialog.. just walking and looking for food.

my thought is that, for a world where the majority of people have died off, the sure do run into a hell of a lot of other people in their travels.. its like every scene they find another person. i never really felt like the world was as unpopulated as they claimed.

Cormac McCarthy doesn't really seem to have a very uplifting or positive view for the future or for man in general.  I've never read any of his books but have seen a couple movies based on his work.  The Road and No Country For Old Men are both adaptations of his work and are each pretty fucking bleak.  Tommy Lee Jones recently did a film adaptation of one of McCarthy's plays called The Sunset Limited which will also leave you with a kind of empty desolate feeling in your gut.

They are all really good movies.  I am interested in reading some of his work but haven't gotten around to it.

And here's a shitty segue:  Speaking of the Coen brothers, one movie of theirs that really made me think a lot was A Serious Man.  Another was The Man Who Wasn't There.

Neither one is particularly life changing or mind blowing but they do certainly leave the viewer with some stuff to chew.

The shining book and movie are both completely a wonderful piece of creativity.  Might visit the "Overlook" someday if it's still there.  Close to it as in proximity. 
But that drive through the canyon and forest would be very enjoyable.

I didn't see any mention of Baraka. That is a life changing and beautiful movie.

Where's the love for Kubrik??  That guy is always blowing my mind.

2001:  A Space Odyssey is a movie that will make you think for weeks or months or forever. 

Full Metal Jacket has been mentioned.

A Clockwork Orange kind of changed society. 

Otherwise the movie Network is really one of my all-time favorites.  Genius work.

Visioneers is a little movie that forever changed the way I look at butter.  Really a cool movie.

What else?

Instinct inspired me to read the book on which it is based so that one really kind of opened my eyes to a new worldview.  The book is "Ishmael".  The movie is very loosely based on it.

I know there are more but I can't think of them now.  Maybe I'll come back.  Anyway, nice thread.  There are some movies mentioned that I haven't seen so now I have movies to watch!





kubrick is great, sorry i forgot to mention a space odyssey

how about that movie with al pacino, really old. about them robbing a bank etc. then the crowd starts yelling "gatica! gatica! gatica!"

etc.

heh

real good movie

Fight club! I absolutely love the movie, I used to watch it every day when I discovered it, it still amazes me now how  much it speaks to me when I ocasionaly rewatch it, it's also IMO better then the book, one of the very few.

The other one that really touched me is Stephen Fry's documentary, The secret life of the manic-depressive, really pits things into perspective for me.

There are a huge lot of awesome movies, most of them mentioned, but for some reasons none really speak to me...:shrug:





really good movie. i love how he doesn't understand when he is fucking that girl, why she calls him an asshole and shit. he doesn't know he is also brad pitt, and that they have a split personality

:lol:


i also thought it was hilarious when that girl is dying, and she gets up and says "anyone want to help me get laid, one last time, before i die? anybody want to help me get laid?"


fucking funny as shit movie

the ending was awesome when all those buildings explode
