Cerebral films.
Looking for something I haven't seen yet that really makes you think for a long time afterward, like The Man From Earth.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Cinema Paradiso.

Um, clearly you have never seen Cinema Paradiso, which is an absolutely beautiful film if you love cinema and movies in general, which was directed by Giuseppe Tornatore and Ennio Morricone soundtrack.
Not sure what film you are thinking of, but it wasn't this!
Yes, you are correct, I thought it was a Fellini movie. I have never seen Cinema blah blah blah. Ennio Morricone scored Dario Argento's Animal Trilogy.
shareI saw Ennio Morricone conducting the other week. Was amazing!
shareWhat? No way! Where at?
shareAntwerp Palais.
If you want to go see him live, then you need to book tickets now as he is not going to be touring much longer (he is 90 years old).
I was lucky in that he added a few extra dates to this year (which was supposed to be his last) and he has decided to add some next year also.

So what Fellini movie were you thinking of and what was your opinion???
You should really give Cinema Paradiso a try, I watched North Korean movies because of you!
We watched La Strada last weekend - my first Fellini movie. My wife loved it. I wanted to know if the Gelsomina character had Stockholm Syndrome ?
shareWhat makes you think I've seen La Strada?😐
shareYou should see it.
shareSounds like a fun movie.
shareExpand that mind of yours. 🤟🤟🤟
shareAm I not "eclectic" enough already???
shareThere is the Korean pop stuff.

I thought you didn't like hip hop ?
shareWhen did I say that? I dislike a lot of hip hop, especially nowadays, but there's hip hop that I do like.
how about this one - I became a fan of this because my son played it over and over ten years ago.

Whatever happened to Akon?!
shareI checked - he's still alive and he not in jail for having sex with 14 year olds. Otherwise his career seems to be in the tank.
shareMaybe he should move to Nigeria. He would fit right in with his autotune music.
shareCher started autotone

I actually like that song. I wonder if Cher would be popular in Nigeria.🤔
shareAll women like that song. Cher was popular when she made this video

I like that song as well, but she looks incredibly trashy in that video. Showing off her almost naked ass in front of her son!
shareI'm personally not a fan of the film, but people seem to love Waking Life (2001). It's all about existentialism.
Then you have:
Coherence (2013)
Primer (2004)
Mr. Nobody (2009)
Timecrimes (2007)
Predestination (2014)
Cube (1997)
Exam (2009)
I see someone mentioned Primer (2004) which I was going to mention. I will also mention Upstream Colour (2013) if you haven't seen it.
Although it's a little dated, I've always enjoyed Strange Days (1995).
Not sure if I have seen Strange Days (will add it to the list anyway), but I have seen Upstream Colour. Thanks.
shareIntellectual films? That’s not been the norm for the past 30 years. Let me think:🤔
Se7en
No Way Out
The Guardian
Mystic River
Taking Chance (I’ve watched this one 5 times and I still sob😭)
We Were Soldiers (Same as above, but with ire)
Blackhawk Down ( ditto)
Band of Brothers
I know, there are so few made lately that it is hard trying to find the unknown gems.
Have seen Se7en, Mystic River and I think I saw No Way Out, so I will add the others to the list. Thanks.
I’m attempting to list movies which rate at least a 7 in a 1 out of 10 scale.
Also a list by decade; some may be dated (graphics) but great movies.

Thanks for those lists, but great doesn't always mean cerebral. I am looking for the type of movies that make your head hurt from thinking about them.
There are some good titles in those lists that I will be adding to my watchlist. Thanks
