Movies that made me think.

Classic nature vs. nuture. What is it that constitutes a human being, the content of our cells, or our strength of will?

What can I say? Prepare to leave shocked.

There is a fine line between fantasy and reality. The visceral cinematography and eerie palette make for a most thought-provoking film.

The ultimate 'appearances are deceiving'... gorgeous cinematography, if you can ignore the sketchy science that constitutes the plot.

Concepts of dreams within dreams, physical manifestations of the subconscious, paradoxes are what made this film interesting for me.

The journey Algren takes to find peace with himself in a Japan on the very brink of change. A stark portrayal of one culture slowly being consumed by another. One of the most beautiful films I have seen.

There are far too many L.di Caprio movies in this list. But it was only after I had rewatched this a couple of times that I grasped everything fully.

Again, another film about a search for inner peace with a traditional culture.

The price of perfection.

Like 'Shutter Island', rewatching afterwards really helps.

This made me go 'hmm' way before the credits came up. Such a simple concept, such a powerful delivery.

"These are not the memoirs of an empress, or that of a queen. These are memoirs of a different kind."

Behind the silk screens and painted faces lies a completely foreign world.
