@Blocker:
makes one think about ang lee's pretentiousness, yet a complete lack of any relevant or useful insights/messages?The Life of Pi
hmm, erasing this movie from one's memory?Eraserhead
makes one think about securing his bicycle?Ladri di biciclette
generally, regarding this thread, i'd say it would be more interesting to know what some movie made you think about, maybe with some details/conclusions too, otherwise a simple list of movies doesn't say much really
haha I was too lazy when I posted it to explain the reason why each movie make you think,
Maybe instead in having a wall of movies title I should have chose just one .Anyway for me "Eraserhead " is a really obscure/horror movie from David Lynch that can make you think and probably have nightmares ,I really like it.
"Ladri di biciclette" make you think how a really simple plot of an old movie can be really entertaining and keep you attached to to the desperation to find his bicycle,at least is what happened to me when I watched it ,sometimes is incredible how people become attached and even obsessed to objects/things.

a movie that had me thinking was FLIGHT with Denzel Washington. it is a recommended movie.
Inception was good but too hyped. Same with Shutter Island. My friends talked about them all the time when they came out. I avoided spoilers so the plot twists got me in full, but masterpieces and best movies of the year 2010? Eeeeh.
As for the titular question...
- The Matrix (1999) - needs no explanation
- Fight Club (1999) - needs no explanation
- Thank You for Smoking (2006) - makes you think about the power of the tobacco industry, lobbying and advertising.
- Lord of War (2005) - makes you think about the global illegal arms trade, the billions that are made at the expense of death and suffering, and how USA and allies wage proxy wars and covertly supply the "friends" they can't afford to be seen supplying.
- Inside Out (2015) - it's okay to be sad sometimes.
- The Full Monty (1997) - comedy about a group of guy friends that decide to become strippers, but also touches more serious topics like body image, depression, suicide, men's rights and poverty (the reason most of them agree to do it in the first place is because they were unemployed and deep in debt).
"I just remembered something that happened a long time ago."
it was Inside Llewyn Davis, that ending..
For me, it was : The Machinist
Christian Bale is an insanely good actor.
