Mind-Screwing Movies

Now, since i can't edit my OP anymore for some reason, this is my continued list until this become uneditable.

Altered States
The Tenant
Saw
Saw II
Saw III
Saw IV
Saw V
Saw VI
Saw VII
Skeleton Key
The Cell
The Lovely Bones

These movies should defiently be on the list imo.

Btw, have people run out of ideas, since this thread is already close to death? Or is it because of the name change, which wasn't my intention at all, but some mod i guess.

I had to add
BUG, with Ashley Judd! If you haven't seen it, and your not border line crazy, you have to check it out!

Peace, NRE.

OMG, i just thought of that and had just logged in to write it down, only to find out that somebody else remembered it, not long before me. Strange

Can only agree, that it's a crazy movie.

Peace, NRE.

That movie took tinfoil hat to tinfoil house! tooth removal, and bugs in your skin! A combo not for everyone.

Peace, NRE.

Can't forget:

Taxi Driver

Man Bites Dog

Cannibal Holocaust

Apocalypse Now

And Bambi - which should have won for best Horror film of that decade.

Dont get me started on bambi and how did forget The Cell....:

Angel Heart.

I was going to mention Altered States but I saw that you added it to your second list.

I Heart Huckabees - comedy mindf*ck is the only way I can describe it.

Hard Candy - completely unexpected.

You have a really good list, we seem to have a lot of the same favorites. I actually just watched "Primer" and "Gattaca" for the first time last week and loved them.

I think I will save this list and refer to it next time I am looking for a good movie to watch.

The Salton Sea. Fantastic movie that got no recognition for the masterful writing.

Pink Floyd: The Wall. As mentioned, just a great movie that will give you a new twist on your interpretation of the CD.

Inception. I really dug this movie. Wish they would have made it a 6 hour movie and went deeper into it all, haha.

Pi. Not sure if this was mentioned, but I really enjoyed this movie. Was different to say the least.

Dune. That movie was weird when I watched it so many years ago. It still is weird!

The Mist. I did not expect this ending. To show how sick and twisted I am, I get a giggle on how that movie ended. The music is perfect for that scene, and the way it was built up just makes me enjoy the entire film in retrospect.

Gonna have to check on a couple of the movies on your list, thanks for the a good reference list.

Has anyone mentioned Silent Hill?
Great visual effects yet at the end I had absolutely no idea what had taken place!!!

This movie is mind-screwing in a sense, The most bizzaire film I have ever seen. It's kindo of obscure, But if you can find it, it's certainly interesting.


Greaser's Palace

I can crawl again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I think of any more, I'll add them


Carnival Of Souls (one of THE original mind**** movies, amazing)
The Jacket
Stay
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Triangle
Identity
Jacob’s Ladder
Dark City
Mullholland Drive
Moon
Shutter Island
Solaris
Black Swan
Waking Life
Oldboy
Visitor Q
Adaptation
The Machinist
The Fountain
The Others
Lost Highway
Vanilla Sky
Eyes Wide Shut
Switchblade Romance (AKA Haute Tension)

Dont get me started on bambi and how did forget The Cell....

Yep, The Cell was one messed up movie. Probably the most disturbing movie I've ever seen.

Bambi? Although, for sheer body count, Disney's Tarzan really dishes up the deaths (for a kid's cartoon movie, it has characters mauled by animals, shot, hung, stabbed, etc.)....

also, Pan's Labyrinth.

Other additions:
Time Bandits
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (quite possibly one of the strangest movies ever made)
The Gate

I may have missed it, but I didn't see Sixth Sense or The Others on the list either. Both movies have infamous "twists"....

Great recommendations so far. Thank you!!

Can't remember the number, but there's a recent Stephen King movie featuring a room number (like 1402 or something), where a writer encounters a haunted and cursed hotel room (had John Cusack in it). That was pretty messed up.

Yeah that's pretty cool.

1408, Samuel L Jackson too IIRC?

1408 is already on the list

I've heard about some dude called Peter Greenaway, who should make some pretty mindf*cking movies.

Besides him i would add:

Ghost Town
Kiss Me Deadly
Pans Labyrinth
Spoorloos
Tekkon Kinkreet
The Cube
The Shinning
The Third Man
The Time Travellers Wife
You, Me and Everyone We Know

New one coming out...Suckerpunch...looks like it would be a good addition to this list.

I didnt see this mentioned yet...



Pi is a film that I think would fit into this list nicely.
