The library in our small town hosts a : ”10 movies-1 per week” every fall. Hand picked films for amateur connoiseurs for a $15 season ticket. (now it’s about $23) They started in -99 and when they showed the 4th film in 2003, it was ”Memento”. I can still remember the wow feeling when I left the building. Pearce and Pantoliano are acting fantastic together, and the cutting of the movie is nothing short of genius level.

Tennet?! Whoops. I think you meant THE PRESTIGE. Tennet is for ppl who want to feel smart for watching a movie. The Prestige is the most cerebral screenplay ever crafted, maybe next to Memento.

The Best Offer could also be on this list in my opinion. I saw that movie 3 times and I still didn't realize who was actually behind it. Geoffrey Rush and Sylvia Hoeks nailed it.

I saw all of them, and I'm not smart..

[jonathanreich]

One of the best "movies for smart people" I've ever seen is the original version of Sleuth made in 1972 which is really difficult to find.

“I saw Inception…. Or at least I dreamt I did.” -Michael Scott

Momento and Arrival are probably my favourites on the list, though they are all spectacular films in their own separate ways. Definitely have to watch Revolver and Primer as I have not seen them yet

[zianawind]

Revolver IS Absolutely a must watch,  
it’s one of those rare films that when seen at the right time of your life with an open mind can actually really “transcend” you. It’s that deep.. you just need to be in the right place (internally) to get the most out of it. It’s a contemplation not a thing you watch without investing yourself in it.. it’s wasted on the casual or shallow person.

Thank you for making this list. I have seen most. You could add Contact to that list. I wish there were more of these movies.

Gattaca, the movie asks if genetic screened humans are better than regular humans. What if questions SF is good at exploring

[elskid]

I'm disappointed M Night Shyamalan didn't seem to make more of an impact. Some of his movies we're really on a different level, but then More of them seemed flat and then he seemed to disappear but, then again, I don't follow movies a lot anymore. So it could be me.

[danielsimpson]

I'd knock inception out. Kind of basic plot if you'd seen the matrix already.
Any of these could replace it.
Cloud Atlas
The Truman Show
Who's afraid of Virginia Wolf

[TastyZoidberg]

Ghost in the Shell (Anime), Anatomy of a Fall, Patterns, Shutter Island, Network, The Whale, Fight Club, Seven, Deathtrap and for the smartest TV-series; Dark.

[marygreer]

I love all of the movies on your list and have to throw “Contact” into the ring of contention…some say the end was not a good enough of a payoff but it certainly makes you think!

[eggnogoy]

Christopher Nolan having 4 of the 10 movies on this list says a lot about him as one of the best directors of all time

[octsober]

Ngl tree of life was hard to get into but once you get over the first hour its absolutely incredible.

[orka]

Donnie Darko, Arrival and Pi are the best from this list for me, but great bunch of movies. Kudos!
