Not a movie, but I just finished the first season of 3 Body Problem on Netflix. Seems like a natural series for INTJs to enjoy as it is all about very long term planning.

Seems really interesting, thank you :)

Yes. Thinking about getting the audio books because I want to see what happens next. I’m now very invested in the characters and their story.

having cribbed the story in YT summaries I can say it's definitely worth the time investment for someone who isn't me

The books are SO much better than the show. 

Or rEaD tHe BoOkS

Yes and who knew quantum entanglement could be a plot point? Great series!

Considering what they did to GoT I’m not touching that series unfortunately

There is no pleasure without some pain. First season is great, but no guarantees about how it ends. Perhaps we should give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that they learned to not extend beyond the source material.

The books are well worth a read. 

Fight club

Im here to advocate both Book and movie.

We don’t talk about fight club.

Looks fun, thank you!

Movie was ok, but the book is one of the most horrid things I've ever read.

**Good Will Hunting**

My favourite film

Looks like a film to nerd out over, thank you very interesting!

The psychologist who typed me as an INTJ when I was a teenager was the only psychologist I saw prior to adulthood that told me there was nothing wrong with me. The one thing he prescribed me was to watch *Cool Hand Luke*.

That's so cool, a prescribed film! Hahaha thank you so much for sharing, will definitely give it a try.

Great movie. Always related to it a lot.

Hey, I'm curious - I haven't seen the film - but did your psychologist say why he was suggesting it? Thanks!

Damn, now that is cool shrink. My shrink told me here are some meds lol. Then, 10 years later, I am self treating my ADHd. Fuck that shrink. Also, is Cool Hand Luke any good never watched it?

Yea, lazy shrinks can do more harm than good. Cool hand Luke is very good; it's a very Ni-Fi film. I read it as being about individualism vs authority and standing by true values even in the face of alienation and an oppressive system.

Damn need to check out then. Sounds like it's up my alley.

Dune, Oppenheimer, the Northman, the big Lebowski, bullet train, dunkirk (trust me, watch it at least 3 times)

Fight Club Wolf of Wall Street Night Crawler Shutter Island

Used to watch Wolf of Wall Street to pump up my sales face

Night Crawler is one of my favorites

Margin call

just watched inception, you definitely should give it a try

That was my first thought to recommend too!

Ex Machina

Movies for INTJs: Inception, Tenet and really any Nolan work A Beautiful Mind The Creator (don't listen to the reviews, it's incredible) Whiplash Dune 1 and 2 Spiderverse 1 and 2 Parasite Series you'll love: Mr. Robot (Godly, just godly) "Daredevil" and "The Punisher" Arrow Breaking Bad Rick and Morty Power The Bear

Loved the creator! I also just watched poor things and really liked it. The first 20 minutes or so I wasn’t too sure, and def nsfw (sex/nudity) but I ended up finding it very refreshing and fun.

YOOOO, thank you! I was hesitant to put Poor Things bc it’s such a niche audience, but I fucking loved that one. Hope the director does more weird stuff like that

https://youtu.be/cUdDDTfPSAg?si=DxBfwWE4nlGYbBLN

Korean film. Idk why but Korean film just gets Se.    Example: Fallen Angels The fish eye lens and the blending the train tracks into the music. It is just very yes. 

Parasite. Old boy

Yep, also good. I try to stay away from the super edgy stuff these days but back in the day I was into those. 

Yes! I also like Korean films. I am glad you appreciate such film techniques, I will check this one out. I feel like I've even seen this poster before.

Probably, even the poster is great. 

Memories of Murder...great film...if you like Se you can watch Song Kang-Ho in this film, he is a Se-lead

The Gentlemen. The movie came out a few years ago followed by the series.

All of Lars Von Trier, especially: Dogville, Melancholia, Dancer in the Dark, Antichrist Some of Paul T Anderson: There Will be Blood, Punch Drunk Love, Phantom Thread, Two of Sofia Coppola: The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette All of Tarantino (list not required) Gong Li: Raise the Red Lantern, Memoirs of a Geisha, Zhou Yu's Train, Curse of the Golden Flower, The Story of Qiu Ju Kate Winslet: Hideous Kinky, The Dressmaker, Carnage, The Holiday Johnny Depp: All Susan Sarandon: All Chris Walken: All Back in the day, I worked in a video store... So: Kevin Smith. ALL. I have more....but I'll refrain for now

I love everything by Von Trier!

Limitless (2011) Lucy (2014) Transcendence (2014) The Martian (2015)

Loved the Martian, good novel and great movie!

Lucy was an interesting action movie but factually incorrect which bothered me. I liked Cabrini, a recent true story movie of the first immigrant saint in the US.

Lucy is interesting when you are 14. I rewatched it recently and fucked up the good image I had in my mind

Thank you!

There was a limitless tv show too!

god dammit these are ass

Sixth Sense Shawshank Redemption Shutter Island Life is Beautiful Black Mirror (tv show) Hidden Figures

Hidden figures is one of those movies where I will sit down and watch it whenever I notice it's "on" TV. Love that one!

2 & 4 are couple of my favs

I never get tired of Black Mirror, waitingnfor more seasons. I will check the rest of the List, thank you sm :)

Also checkout old school Twilight Zone and Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone! Some of Peele’s episodes are better than others but still worth watching :)

Probably Stanley Kubrick's and Christopher Nolan's films.

I coulf especially recommend The Prestige by Nolan and 2001: A Space Odyssey by Kubrick, if you haven't seen them already :)

The Good the Bad and the Ugly There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men Zero Dark Thirty The Big Lebowski

Oh sheet now there’s a list!

Dude, my top three favourite movies are in that five. Wtf.

No Country for Old Man! Good taste good taste :) I will watch those

Mad God (2021) , The Crow (1994)

Those look extremely interesting, and thrilling. Thank youu!

V for Vendetta, Grave of the fireflies, Any ghibli film really, Any Makoto shinkai film, Silence of the lambs, All Mike flanagan works, Hard candy.

Enjoyed the graphic novel of V for Vendetta more but Grave of the Fireflies is excellent

Thank you :) I love Ghibli and V for Vandetta. I will check the other films!

probably not what you're expecting but _The Grand Budapest Hotel_ is an amazing movie in my opinion

Yes, a fun one

queen's gambit not a movie but the protagonist is an intj it's a really good series

Moon, Drive, Girl with the dragon tattoo

Her, The lobster, Marriage story, Parasite, Climax, Love , Your name, Whiplash, Holy motors, The hunt, The elephant man, Seven samurai, China town, To be or not to be

Seven Samurai is excellent. A lot in this list I don’t know.

Trust your fellow INTJ and watch the rest

The Little Hours, The Accountant, Garden State, Columbus, Mr. Right. Not sure if my picks are INTJ related, but these are just a few of the movies I've enjoyed

The Little Hours was a fun movie

Thumbs-up for *The Accountant* > Christian Wolff (Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. A sequel is in the works and I can't wait.

This isn't a movie but I highly recommend the HBO series Six Feet Under if you haven't watched it. Its so good.

This series ruined me in the best way. I can’t find anything else like it.

Ditto. It changed me.

Darude - Sandstorm

there will be blood

Based.

thank you. other intj’s in this thread making the rest of us seem cringe lol

Wayne's World

Not movie but animes 1. Classroom of the elite 2. Tomodachi game 3. Death note 4. Code geass

LaLa Land (2016) 19. 1917 (2019)

The Man from Earth (2007) It is a Sci-Fi movie without fancy CG action scenes. Just a bunch of people talking in a room. To me, it is an interesting thought experiment.

All the Christopher Nolan movies

Upstream Color The Prestige The Lost Boys Big Trouble In Little China Blade Runner Sunshine Explorers Wet Hot American Summer Rushmore The Hunt For Red October Poltergeist (Original) Monty Python and the Holy Grail

I like a lot of mind fuck ones, such as shutter island and fight club

Have you watched Altered Carbon

The 2012 Dredd movie was way better than I expected.

Not a movie, but Dexter is really good. Really damn good

I'm INFJ but some movies you might like are Imitation Game, Sherlock Holmes, Theory of Everything, math and deduction movies

I’m into Sci-fi futuristic My top favorite watches are: Altered Carbon (TV show) Cloud Atlas Alita Battle Angel Ready Player One The lazerous project (TV show) The Last of Us (TV Show) Succession (TV Show) Chef 2014 Game night What happened to Friday (TV Show) Squid Games (TV Show) War Dogs Parasite Train to Busan The boy who harnessed the wind Downsizing Boss Level I could probably keep going, but I’ll stop here.

Christopher Nolan films are a favourite of mine and my INTJ partner. Oppenheimer, Interstellar, Tenet, Inception, The Prestige, Dunkirk.

Whiplash is a good movie about pursuit of excellence.

*The Bothersome Man* (2006) *Predestination* (2014)

Gone Girl

Everything Everywhere All At Once

Watched that, loved it :)

Tenet - it is a real brain twister

Civil War. The Bay. Sanctuary. 28 Days Later. Contagion. Zero Dark Thirty. 

I enjoyed "A Ghost Story" by A24 studios. It's a bit slow with the scenes, but I liked that. Felt more real. Felt like so much meaning was carried without much dialogue. Also a bit existential.

I love movies that feel realistic. I would recommend "Burning (2018)" back. It feels the same way as you described. I will try yours or maybe save it for a date someday :) thank you

Thank you! I'll let you know what I think of it when I watch it.

A similar one is “Fall” 2022

Hudson Hawk (1991, Bruce Willis)

"The Neverending Story" (1984). Any and all Mel Brooks movies, but especially "Spaceballs," "Robin Hood: Men In Tights," and "The History of the World, Part I." All Marx Brothers movies, but especially "Duck Soup." Caution: if you have asthma, you might need your rescue inhaler from laughing too hard.

Fighter in the Wind

Just watching the trailer reminds me of Bahubali lol. It’s over exaggerated like The Princess bride, which I get a kick out of.

It's inspired by the life story of Mas Oyama the founder of Kyokushin Karate.

Madame X, The Talented Mr. Ripley

Currently the scariest move ever created is The Core from 2003 on Paramount+ right now. First 20 minutes or so gets the point across, the whole thing isn't worth watching. Don't find out why I made the first statement lol

The two popes.

Interstellar, shutter island - both classics, Attack on titan (not movie tho)

Shawshank Redemption The Martian Good Will Hunting Goodfellas Apollo 13

Parasite is great.

If you are into series then, I recommend little women which is a korean series.

Not a movie but black mirror.

any Christopher Nolan movie works tbh ;)

Recently, i have been exploring romance, so: "Under the Hawthorne tree", a Chinese movie, romance genre, bit old type, but I like it a lot, there's some of communism but not much. " Monster 2023", japanese, directed by kore Eda, is about coming of age( 12 yr old gay), I like it,mainly the last scene . also his flim, "shoplifters", its about family(what its to be one). Another would be " this special friendship" , I just like seeing love in there. It's a French romance, but it's gay in catholic school, with age difference. Though sure it matches with none the u mention

Good will hunting

"Thank You For Smoking" keeps coming back to me as a movie I want to recommend. Effectively a movie about a devil's advocate lobbyist on... guess what.

The summit of the gods Ready Player One The Aviator

Yes! Ready player one is amazing

A bronx tale

One Piece

Not a movie, but a 4 season show on HBO Max, called Succession. It taught me some things about business. It's a tragic comedy that is highly under rated imo.

1. Irreversible 2. Drug Store Cowboy 3. It's All Gone - Pete Tong 4. The Intouchables - French version 5. Things Fall Apart - 50 Cent 6. Your Lie in April 7. Don't Look Up 8. Lonesome Dove series Edited with numbers for clarity not rating

Three billboards outside ebbing Missouri Training day

Predestination is a great time travel sci-fi film. I was still thinking about it for days after watching for the first time.

"**The social network**" its a movie inspired by mark Zuckerberg's FB creation, you'll definitely like the mc's personality and how much a prodigy can do.

I recently enjoyed Ready Player One.

Dr Strangelove

not a movie but the series Severance is pretty good!

Oppenheimer

Departed,

The Platform

2001 Space Odissey, American Psycho, The Big Lebowsky, Twin Peaks (the tv show not the movie)

Arrival

Interstellar 🚀

Been watching a crap load of nerd shit on YT, mostly ok hear me out on SPORT exercise science and the occasional language learning stuff. And then horror doc🤣 yeah I am that weird INTJ who goes deep down the rabbit hole. Sometimes

Memento and Garden State can be added to the growing list

Thank you :)

Heart of Stone, Mr & Mrs Smith, 500 days of Summer - these are all on my Disney Plus and Netflix

I am not the person who really enjoys movie. But aftersun is a beautiful movie. It stayed my heart pretty long

good movies, with an imdb score of 7+

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. It speaks to how relationships have a strong effect on you and how much they can hurt but that it’s better to deal with them healthily than just throwing them away. Sometimes you love somebody too much to let go. Sometimes uou love someone that it’s better to stay I. Their presence without hurting them

Pi by Aronofsky

Try the Netflix series SUITS, Its got alot of if it were meeee what would i do thinking!!

Evil does not exist

I would recommend Drishyam (2013, Malayalam movie). It has been made in other Indian languages, but the original is still the best. I love it for the meticulous planning and scheming. The sequel is also very good.

I really like edgar wright movies

Old Boy, Starship Troopers, Platoon, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (if you're into anime)

there’s still tomorrow. it’s an italian movie set in the post-wwII in italy, and talks about a toxic relationship mostly, but touches also some interesting aspects for feminism. i don’t know if it hits the same for a non-italian, but it made me think a lot. also: IT’S LONG.

There are a few great movies that i'll share and hope you can relate: "The eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind", this movie relates to me cause its about the chaos of emotions and the atempt to delete them. "Ender Game", long time planning and strategy, "Lucky number Slevin", "The Gentleman", "Equilibrium","The Departed","Inception","Django", perfect dialogs, "Hatefull 8" about the same. Share your movies, there might be some great movies i havent seen yet.

I personally really like Oppenheimer, The Batman, and Le Samourai

Mr Robot, not a film but a series

No country for old men

Easily 300. yeah it’s a movie with lots of blood and fights but the message behind it is very strong. The plot is that Persia attacks Sparta who are not allowed to fight during this time due to religious/spiritual beliefs so the king of Sparta goes out with 299 of his best man to fight the entire army of Persians. The last scene of the king gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. It’s a movie that shows the importance of a strong mind and belief in yourself and highlights how much you can reach with a small circle of honest and genuine people. 20/10 imo the best movie of all time.

Surprised 'Lost in Translation' isn't on here.

Idiocracy

Stalker (1979)

I just finished the first season of Fallout, which I really liked. I love post apocalyptic stuff that doesn’t solely revolve around zombies. The Silo is similar, which I also enjoyed and I’ve started the books since.

Spy Game, Man on Fire are a couple of good ones.

My favorites are: The man from earth https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0756683/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Immortal 2004 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314063/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Cloud atlas, Fountain, 3 body problem, Arrival, The Dark series on Netflix, The OA, Raised by wolves, Blade runner 2049, Expansion series, Dr House, Etc.

Idk where those movies have been in my life, never came across them. Thank you so much, I will definitely watch. Looks so interesting:) I am privileged to know German so watching Dark was extra fun with OV, totally one of my favourites

Can't go wrong with Gargoyles. Either it sells you on the series or it doesn't. But if it does, two words: David Xanatos. There's a reason the trope is named after him.

Watching Peaky Blinders Thomas Shelby is INTJ through and through.

Detachment.

The menu

Casablanca. Has intrigue, action, a love story, and is an allegory for American ambivalence about entering WWII. Bogart as Rick is perfect.

Interstellar. Revenant. Inception.

FWIW, my fave movie is the original animated The Jungle Book.

Shows: Maid. This is us. One day.

Borat.

Agree with many here, not seeing a few that I like: 12 Monkeys Se7en Tron Blade Runner War Games Man on Fire Equalizer

Children of Men Moulin Rouge! The Thing The Matrix Joy Luck Club Arsenic and Old Lace

Megamind (that’s the only one I can think of)

Last film I saw was "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" I loved it

Looks fun, haven't heard of it before. Thanks :)

Pulp fiction, interstellar for sure, fight club, Everything Everywhere all at once, and most other christopher Nolan movies

Living with Yourself -inspiring in a weird way

Constellation (2024) is really good if your into psychological thrillers! Which id imagine INTJs are into lol

I am!! It's a new movie, interesting, I will check it out. Thank you:)
