40 Films That Make You Think

I've often found it surprising how a film can make you think and ponder long after the credits roll. These films challenged me to look at my relationships, my political views, and even my religious beliefs with a different perspective. Not all films on this list are typical "thinking" films, but all left me asking questions afterward. I encourage you to watch all of the films on this and keep an open mind!
