Any recommendations of any other thought-provoking movies?


I first saw this movie years ago and I am still drawn to watch it frequently because of how much the movie makes you reflect on life. Anyone know of any other great thought-provoking movies similar to MDWA?

Defending Your Life is a film I reference or think about often enough. Can't say that about most comedies.

It's funny you mention "Defending Your Life." Have you seen which film Albert Brooks is about to do voice work on?

It's like one of Andre's coincidences :)

All terrific choices!

Mindwalk from 1991. It's on Youtube. Waking Life by Linklater too.

reply

Mindwalk is wonderful.

I Origins (2014) is incredible

How about... "Breakfast with Blassie."

"Lunch with Lassie" (just kidding)


Movies by John Cassavetes are very "talky."

I thought of the perfect one:

"Swimming to Cambodia."
