Films to Help You Wake Up, Make You Sleep

Hey guys, hows it goin? Im gunnna start a thread, where we can suggest good films, that really make you think. Really out the box stuff, yaaa mean.

So if you know any please post. What i don't want, is people just posting films they like, like Rocky or summink. Films that help you realize are most wanted though.

So for example, here are some i can think of off the top of my head -

Matrix - The works
V for Vendetta
Equilibrium
Die Hard 4

Also if you come across any films that are just blatant propaganda, again please post, as these would be quite cool to take a look at and see how there doing it/rip the piss.

Here are two examples that spring to mind -

World Trade Centre
Die Hard 4

Of course these are just personal opinions, im really interested to see what you guys think about this.

Peace

Yep, agree with you on both of those two films (happened to have watched) very propaganda/patriotic from the word go. More so in World Trade Center.

World Trade Center was boring.
Thread nominated for the good idea.

Was sent a link to watch a docu called Loose Change, by a wise source, this certainly comes under Wake up. Peace

Well this seemed to dry up quickly. Come on people you must of seen something i hope!

How about music aswell? There is an absolute ton of stuff out there. I would reccomend an artist caleld Jehst. UK Hip - Hop at its best and his stuff is mind blowing, and mind opening. Editors are good for being wise, listen carefully. There is a load and load of stuff, does anyone else have any suggestions? Peace

Il second loose change as one of the best documentaries for making you open your eyes and look around and question everything.

Two films I whole-heartedly recommend are:
1. Running Scared
Running Scared (2006)

2. Confidence
Confidence (2003)

Not many people have heard about these two, but every one that I lent the films to say they are great.

My all time faves are:
Usual Suspects
Heat
Lock Stock
Layer Cake
Sexy Beast
Seven
Memento

...and a couple of others.
