All I know is that Good Will Hunting motivated the heck out of me. The part where he talked about getting a degree from the library for free made me study harder for a test than I ever have before.

Inside Out may not raise IQ, but it’ll raise EQ a few notches.

If I remember correctly its only like an hour maybe 90 minutes,

Its a pretty short film.

And it was done on a shoestring budget so the quality isn’t really there,

You can tell it was shot on a cheap digital camera.

But the plot line is thought provoking and, I feel, realistic.

Usually time travel movies are too fantastical,

I feel like Primer really shows what would happen to real people that discover time travel.

Does the number theorist have schizophrenia?

It’s debatable, cluster headaches and delusions for sure. When they started talking about AI and spiral theory Is when I got kinda unwell in my thinking

In the end, I voted for A Beautiful Mind as well. My reasoning is that while the others on the list are good movies, A Beautiful Mind can help educate people about schizophrenia without portraying the afflicted person in a completely negative light. I mean to say, sure it is glamorized and is a Hollywood portrayal of schizophrenia but at the same time people might watch that and come of thinking, “People with schizophrenia are people too.” While Good Will Hunting has a similar effect when it comes to people who grew up as orphans or people who are in therapy, nowadays there is much less stigma for orphans than there is for people with schizophrenia.
