-Donnie Darko
-Hackers
-Hackers Wanted (doc)
-Primer
-iRobot
-Contact
-2001: A Space Odyssey

The more mind bending, mind blowing, etc..the better. Even if it isn't 'sciency', if it's a real mind bender, post it.

Go!

Uhm, 5th Element, Matrix (Even though you've probs seen them a katrillion times), Apollo 9, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

<333!!

INCEPTION. Even if it's not your type of movie, you'll enjoy it for the amount thinking it makes you do.

District 9 (2009)
A Clockwork Orange (1971)

the core was somewhat disappointing

shit was awesome. . .im going to go see it again today lol

oh an Foundation and Empire by Issac Assimov. yeah its a book but its the most mind blowing piece of...ANYTHING I have read/seem/heard, ESPECIALLY at the end fking amazing. Dont bother reading the others in the series though lol.

12 Monkeys is the first one you should see, how Brad Pitt acts in that movie is sooo freaking sick good.

Just watch the Second Renaissance 1&2. It doesn't have a main character with a story that revolves around him/her, like what most animes are. It is a short film after all. It's basically the history of the matrix. And since you're planning to see iRobot, note the similarities.

twilight series ? D:

Memento, Pulp Fiction (both make you think)

Alright, I'll give it a shot. I just watched iRobot last night, so perfect timing. Sunshine is on the viewing list tonight, I'm really looking forward to it.

TRON
Also, Powder, it made me QQ when I was 10

Here are some non sci fi mind benders

fight club
the prestige
the illusionist

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll update my list soon.

Just finished Sunshine. I thought it was really, really good.


So as not to sound retarded, when he says "reignite the sun", they basically mean start a new sun within the sun by means of a fusion reaction/reactor. When I first watched the trailer and heard him say that I was like "wtf, this is going to be science trash". Not so. Although some of it is exaggerated.

I find it odd you have Pi on there, but not Requiem for a Dream. Any reason in particular?

For whatever reason, Requiem for A Dream.

Because I've seen it.

Should have been more clear in my OP, I'm making a list of movies that I want to see. I guess I could make an "Ultimate list of sci/fi/tech/mindblown Movies". We'll see.

Ah, fair enough.
I dunno, I'm picky with my movies. Not many really stand out lately.

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was pretty cool.
Blindess was alright. One of those movies that makes you think "what if this happened?"

Paprika if animated movies are ok. Plot will remind you of a certain popular movie these days =P.

Mystic River, taxi driver, donnie darko

Moon (2009)
Code 46 (2003)
