Most Interesting Films

Some films are more watchable than others -- but some are more interesting. Not every movie demands much thought from its viewers, but these do. That doesn't mean, of course, that their messages are always comprehensible or that their puzzles are easily, if at all, solvable... Some of them present especially intriguing premises, and explore them well.
