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?
A Ghost Story (2017)

Final Approach (1991)
Touted as being the first film with fully digital sound, this movie never made it to DVD or Blu ray, although it was released on 12" laser disk.
I have a VHS copy (god, I'm old...) and I found this: May be NSFW due to some language & brief nudity.

I'll admit to having a soft spot for the red-hot, fire-breathing Mach 3 monster that's pretty much a cast member in the film and a necessary element of the story.
Kind of hard to watch without a vhs or laserdisc player. Had a quick look around and haven't seen it made to any other format. Thanks for the info though. I will add it to my IMDB watchlist, just in case.
shareI’m surprised that no one seems yet to have mentioned 2001: A Space Odyssey. Maybe I missed the salient post, or maybe everyone else thinks it’s too obvious.
Probably OT, but when Three Dog Night’s song, Celebrate, was a hit, I always thought to myself that its refrain should be, “Cerebrate! Cerebrate! Dance to the music!”
It was mentioned on page 1 and I have seen it a few times.
Don't know the song - will look on youtube for it.
Under The Skin
The Lobster
The Forbidden Room
Synecdoche, New York
Melancholia
Seen them all except The Forbidden Room, which I started to watch at some point a few years ago but didn't finish it for some reason I cannot remember atm. Thanks
shareNot a film, but Twin Peaks has sent many-a-viewer off in to cerebral realms of explanation, fer sure. I think I've seen you in the Twin Peaks discussion board, so I don't think I'm telling you anything, but the sheer amount of analysis that the series has generated shouldn't go unmentioned here.
shareYup. Big fan. Watched it when it was first shown. Best. TV. Show. EVER!
That one definitely is in the cerebral category and deserves an honourable mention for sure.
The Quiet Earth 1985, a very cerebral from New Zealand:

The final scene is a real mind bender.
