For all you who want a movie that will stimulate the mind.
It's a movie that was made on a shoestring budget ($7000!)but the concepts are so far ahead of anything you'll see in a Tom Cruise movie. The movie is called, "Primer" it's on DVD and its rough-edge revelations reminds me of "Memento" set in a time machine.

Probably explains the negatives of causality and time-traveling better than any movie I've seen.

Techies and other OCD's will love this movie. I've never played Dungeons and Dragons, but I imagine that people who are into that kind of intellectual creativity, but who want a little more physics discipline, will enjoy it. It will probably be too grey and tedious for those who like lots of bells and whistles in their movies.

Final suggestion: See it alone first to make sure you get into it.

1. WAX: Or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees
Very obscure but truly wild film. If you want a challenge, track this one down. It's now available on DVD.
