Good list, even though I couldn't get into Brazil.

GREAT LIST! I love all these movies! :D

best mind-fuck EVER.

JayTrotter

No David Lynch? WHAT IN THE FUCK.

PvtCaboose91

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 20:05

*shrugs* Go make your own list, then.

I like a good mind-fuck now and again.
Quality pics (minus The Sixth Sense). Where is the love for Shutter Island this "awards season"? Great film.

JayTrotter

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 20:37

But just seriously, have you seen any of David Lynch's mindfuck films? if not, do so.

PvtCaboose91

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 20:39

I love The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet, neither of which are truly mind-fucks, are they?

Mulholland Drive was a mind-fuck, but I wasn't crazy about it.

JayTrotter

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 20:52

Lost Highway? Wild at Heart? Inland Empire?

PvtCaboose91

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 20:53

Nope. Nein. Negative.

JayTrotter

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 21:01

If you dig mindfuck films you should see em.

Stehako

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 21:18

Those movies are just dream-like and surrounded around the crazy state of dreams. That's all. Not really mind-fuck worthy. Sure, they are nonlinear storytelling marvels in some cases but your mind shouldn't be getting fucked, just tricked a bit here and there.

Seen Bug? That's a mindfuck film if there ever was one. Or Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain.

JMan616

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 22:36

What about Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING?

PvtCaboose91

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 22:48

There's a reason why this is MY list, not yours. Go make your own list.

JayTrotter

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 9 23:46

So you haven't seen Bug or The Holy Mountain? Great mindfuck flicks.

PvtCaboose91

I have not seen them, no.

Great list =)

Happy Vader

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 10 5:48

Awesome List! Spot On!

Maybe Eraserhead?

Happy Vader

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 10 5:48

Maybe Watch The Fountain.... I Dont Know Whether It Fits Or Not....

PvtCaboose91

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 10 5:49

I hated The Fountain, to be honest.
Haven't seen Eraserhead.

Stehako

Posted: 2 years, 5 months ago at Jan 10 18:55

Haha 'Eraserhead', are you serious? Another Lynch suggestion? Haha. In case you were wondering, my comments from yesterday were about the Lynch suggestions that guy keeps bugging you about, not yours. I don't want you to think I was ridiculing your choices.
