Movies that make you think, for those who are easily bored and like a challenge. Not all of these movie are mind-bending because there really aren't many that are. But the top few in my list are up there.

Elaine Cassidy and Sally Hawkins in Fingersmith (2005)

I hate gory / horror movies but that doesn't mean that I don't like scary movies. If you're like me and think that "The Ring", "Paranormal Activity" and "Insiduous" are lame and pretty much unwatchable - perhaps you might enjoy the movies in this list. Some of these movies are scary and some - not so much.

Some of these movies are scary and some - not so much.

Entertaining Documentaries / Reality Shows

Are you sick of seeing films that portray an unrealistic America where everyone is rich and life is great if only you try just a little? Me too. Not all of these films are factual - they just portray an America that seems familiar to the average American.

Tatum O'Neal and Ryan O'Neal in Paper Moon (1973)

Pierce Brosnan and Eric Schweig in The Broken Chain (1993)

Gothic films are described as films that draw from the Gothic tradition in literature. This means that they have dark and sometimes supernatural elements like the Gothic novels of the 18th and 19th centuries such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818) and Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897). The tragic theme of forlorn love is re-current in Gothic literature and film. Here I will focus on contemporary Gothic films. Many Gothic artists, musicians and film directors are Surrealists and rely on their subsonscious to produce their art. A lot of people seem to think that Goths like horror movies...as for myself I despise gore but do love all things dark. I think that there is a big difference between things that are dark and things that are evil.
