I remember seeing Cube on Sci Fi channel and insisted on recording it and showing it to my friends.
I'd have to nominate Dead or Alive, the Japanese gangster film. After the last ten minutes of the film, the theater just sat there for a second, stunned silent. Also, Battle Royale. That's just a weird film and weird premise. |

Bah... Those are all tame..
For true mindfuckery, Find a good indy video rental store and ask for movies by Takashi Miike.. Audition starts out pretty dull for the first half, then quickly spirals into a Requiem For a Dream-style madness. Kirii, kirii, kirii... Fudoh: The Next Generation is a kind of young gang wanting to take over power from their parents. Lot of issues involved, but check out the chick who can do the amazing deathly dart trick. Happiness of the Katakuris is a fun romp. It's about a small bed and breakfast who are struggling to get on their feet, except all their guests keep dying, so they hide the bodies. Oh, and it's a musical. Ichi the Killer is um... damn. Tough to explain this one. Involves lots of Yakuza and goes into the mentalities that surround Sado-Masochism. The lead guy is bad-ass, though. Visitor Q! Wow, watched this the other night. Definately the most mind-fucking movie ever. It's a sort of study about the demise of the tradional family unit in Japan, which is saved by a visitor who destroys it. It makes sense in a strangely touching way. Necrophilia, lactating nipples, incest, heroin use, & microphone anal rape has never been funnier, though. I still have more of Miike's (pronouced Mee-KAY) movies to watch, but he's amazing. I dare everyone (of age) to check out his stuff. |

The two Matrix sequels fucked with my mind.
Wait... they just fucked with my wallet. Hold on, ..... I guess they did fuck with my mind, after all... here's a GREAT film with a definite ending ( the Matrix).. now let's milk the public, just arfing fleece them with two over-wrought, needless and needlessly cg movies. Also, the matrix if not the sequels were apparently blatantly stolen from another author. So the brothers might be the geniuses they were made out to be. The end.

You guys know where I can find a copy of Battle Royale? Amazon doesn't seem to have it and without that I'm practically impotent when it comes to finding stuff.

Anyone remember Altered States, a film where William Hurt didn't act :gasps and is shocked:.

Now I have to rent it... and watch it... and be angry at how crappy it is! All because I can't help but MST3K every movie I watch. It's a sickness really.

yeah, the spanish prisoner is pretty good. i'm not a cube fan though.
i didn't see any fellini mentioned. i'd suggest 8 1/2 first. i just watched satyricon...that's a fairly weird one. i'm not sure what i think of it yet. 21 grams is another disjointed movie. it took me a bit to realize what was going on. i don't know if 2001 or solaris have been mentioned. i also suggest the original insomnia. too bad they remade it. or watch touch of evil. it may mess with you that charleton heston plays a mexican. listen for the times he speaks spanish. |

Mullholland Drive
Lost Highway Frank Zappa's 200 Motels Being John Malkovich Bubba Ho-tep I storngly recommend Bubba Ho-tep. It's about how Elvis faked his own death and ended up in a retirement home under an alias, and no one beleived he was the king. He teams up with a crazy black man who thinks he's JFK, to battle an evil mummy that is sucking out the souls of all the poor retirees at the Home. It stars that guy who was in Evil Dead and Army of darkness. |

The film I just saw Oldboy by Park Chan-wook certainly qualifies. Genuinely disturbing initial premise simply becomes more nightmarish and frightening as the plot unfolds.
A business man, Oh Dae Su is kidnapped seemingly for no reason and held in a cell for fifteen years. It is when he is released, again seemingly for no reason, and begins to search for his tormentor that things really get scary. The violence, and there is a lot of it in this film, while it is shocking at times, is nothing compared to the implications of the plot as it reaches its final scenes. Still trying to wash the unpleasant feeling out. Great great movie though! |

Wicker Park. This was great. It was recently released on DVD.
I actually liked The Village. I didn't go into it thinking it was a horror movie.

Butterfly Effect! Yes!... I don't think you will find another movie where that guy will play another serious role.
I don't want to open Pandora's box with this, but... Akira... Akira still fucks with my head. Spoiler: The whole Tetsuo transforming into the Stay Puff Marshmallow man from hell still makes me shiver! WITH THAT SAID: I will promptly start an "animes that fuck with your mind" if I cannot find previously existing one somewhere. So let's agree on one thing: ANY NON-AMERICANIZED AND/OR NON-COMMERCIALIZED ANIME AFTER 1985 WILL FUCK WITH YOUR MIND!

I'm kind of surprised Requiem for a Dream didn't make more of a splash in this thread, as it is a good mind-fuck movie. Or is it too mainstream?
When I was a little kid, I walked in on my sister watching the very end of The Good Son , right Spoiler: when the mom drops Macaulay Culkin off the cliff . I was like 8 and it messed with my head. Haven't watched it since. How about the Larry Clark movies? Kids, Bully, and most recently, Ken Park. They're all fucked up in their own way. I just saw Ken Park a couple months ago after my friend had to buy an illegal copy off eBay because you can't get it in the States. I wouldn't say I was slack-jawed the whole way through, but by the end I definitely stared at the credits for a several minutes and just said "What the fuck," several times, and then asked my friend "What the fuck?" and he said "That's fucked up." Sorry to cuss so much but that was pretty much verbatim. On a small tangent, I was watching TV the other night (in London) and they showed Kids on one of the local broadcast channels, uncensored and all, followed by Bully in the same fashion. No way ever would either one of those make TV back home (the States), no way no how. And I'm not saying that's a bad thing. |

The Wall -- wow. I first saw that when I was going to a boarding school many years ago. If taking over your mind means messing with your mind, that movie did it to me. I knew everything there was to know about the movie, the music, etc. I saw every laser show and midnight showing, Wizard of Oz synch, etc. "Comfortably Numb" and "Mother" are very powerful songs for me decades later.
Eraserhead had a peculiar effect on me as well. Don't try to eat and watch it at the same time. That shaved lamb -- that was fucked up. Trainspotting

The movie What the Bleep do we do? really screws with my mind. It is at is heart a documentary about Quantum metaphysics. I am in a philosophy class right now, so I know a little about basic metaphysics, but they are talking about some crazy shit. They say that its possible to control the world with your mind (alah bending the spoon). They talk about how there was an experiment where 4,000 people were brought from many different religions and countries to Washinton D.C. The experiment was to lower the crime rate by at least 25% through prayer and meditation. It worked, and I looked it up on the internet, here is a link: http://www.alltm.org/pages/crime-arrested.html
There is some really intersting stuff in this movie and it really blows your mind. |
