I don't believe movies make one smart but can make you explore new ideas, abstract lands of the minds imagination but most of these movies contain something that's already inside of you that you've known since ancient times in your past life.
Personally I'd recommend murder by numbers starring Truman Capote and Charlie Chan, when I worked at the steel mill several years back I basically crushed several of my fingers on my left hand in an accident and was prescribed Valium and Oxycodone. I stayed at my mothers house while I was recovering but she had a bunch of her old lady friends that would stop by who were lovely people and meant well but I could never get any rest, so I called my buddy Tommy Novak in Florence, TX and told him that I had to get out of there and spend a couple weeks at his place and he was like "yeah sure Doug no biggy bud"
This was at the time when HBO first came out as the first subscription only channel on TV so they only had several movies running every 3-5 months that hey would play over and over, between the HBO and being laid up in a benzo/pain killer haze I never actually watched the move "murder by death" all the way through as I'd pass out and then wake up and it would start over or I'd be at a different point..
Anyways It was hilarious, being as how I majored in English literature at Texas State, I was your quintessential "rude linguist". So this movie hit a chord with me because it was full of hilarious innuendo and word play that probably went over the heads of the normal movie viewer at the time.
Anyways, I'm digressing again, check out "murder by numbers" starring Truman Capote and Sandra Bollocks and Charlie Chan.

Watch films that propose questions, that force you to think. Last night I watched "passengers" with my girlfriend, which brings up the moral question – if you were completely alone in space for the rest of your life, would you bring another human in with you if it meant dooming them to the same fate? Terrible film by the end (became to stereotypically actiony) but the first half is good.
