Movie Recommendations

[EvGa]

I'm making a list of Science/Technology Sci/Fi etc type movies to watch and wanted to know if anyone had any further suggestions. If not maybe my list will be useful to others.

-Pandorum
-Event Horizon
-Pi
-Sunshine
-Donnie Darko
-Hackers
-Hackers Wanted (doc)
-Primer
-iRobot
-Contact
-2001: A Space Odyssey
-The Core
-Dark City
-The fountain

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.

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

[Pan_Raider(`_´)]

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.

[xzaz]

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

[/Pi]

Suggestions Added:
-IDK if I can handle the anime

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.

[vietxboy911]

twilight series ? D:

[McLovin1t]

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.

[Ganja]

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

[Azilius]

Here are some non sci fi mind benders

fight club
the prestige
the illusionist

[EvGa]

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.

[EvGa]

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?"

[piootr]

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

[ApocalypticDeath]

Mystic River, taxi driver, donnie darko

[Midori]

Moon (2009)
Code 46 (2003)
