Recommendations?

Post by Wesusa »

Hi, I was wondering if I could be given some recommendations for movies. Some of my favorite movies are “Arrival,” “Inception,” and basically anything with psychological aspects that really make you think. Are there any movies like that you could recommend? Thanks. :tiphat:

If you liked those, I think you would like something on this line too: Ex-Machina and Birdbox, they both play a lot with the psychological aspects. Enjoy!

You might like "The Thirteenth Floor" - a friend recommended it. There's also a book called Simulacron 3.

Gosh, you're gonna love the imitation game and then you'll have a breakdown.
It's based on real events and we have Benedict as our protagonist.

If you liked Inception, then you should also watch these:

Shutter Island
The Prestige
Momento
Fractured
The Patient

These are kinda psychological thrillers and the movies which makes you think deeply, sometimes from a perspective you don't care to see. The plot twists are amazing you'll love these movies!
