Mind Fucks!!!

[Big D]

Well, thats what I call them. Mind fucks are the kind of movie that you can watch, and not really know what the hell you saw. These are movies like The Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive. Sometimes these can be movies with a really cool twist at the end that leave you thinking, like Memento or even The Sixth Sense. I'd even put Fight Club, and Being John Malkovich in there somewhere.

What movies would you consider to have been a mind fuck? Let me know...I want to see them if I haven't already!

[Tool]

for a true mind fuck, 'earaserhead' is the movie. If you like a mind fuck with a suprise ending, i recomend 'identity'. Also 'jacobs ladder' is a good one.

[KinkyKlown]

Fantastic Planet........That weird freaking animated movie from the 60's.......Its really fucked up and it has one of the most bad ass soundtracks. I think it was made for all the acid heads back in the day

[SickGirl]

Donnie Darko. I love the movie now but when I first saw it . . . I looked like this---> :confused:

[Bergs]

Identity, that is some crazy shit.

[Ray]

Donnie Darko

Muholland Drive

Some weird movie, with a really tall ugly italian man, who couldn't speak a word of english, but he tried, but I guess that is the meaning of the film....that he tried. Also starred Billy Crystal.

[SickGirl]

Oooo, I thought of another one. Crash, w/ James Spader.

D, why do you wanna torture yourself by watching more mind fucks? All they do is piss me off in the end.

[Deltron]

I think the first Matrix kinda fucked with my head a bit.

[RolandOfGilead]

Koyannisqatsi. That movie will mind fuck you in all the right places...and a few of the wrong ones (but still good ones).

[dragon1552000]

Vanilla sky. Enough said...

[Madness]

I'm pretty sure I didn't what the hell what was going on when I saw Fight club. With strange flashes of Brad Pitt and penis inserts messing with my mind.

[marshalldylan10]

Donnie Darko
The Secret Window
Identity
The Never ending story-I still don't get it, how can a story never end!

[poopchow]

Number one mindfuck is Akira-fucking crazy

[Madness]

I'm pretty sure I didn't what the hell what was going on when I saw Fight club. With strange flashes of Brad Pitt and penis inserts messing with my mind.

[Deltron]

I remember Requiem for a Dream fucked with my head the first time I saw it.

[4d3pt4t10n]

Donnie Darko, Fight Club, and The Never Ending Story I,II,and III

[dylan-d]

Frailty and A Beautiful Mind has some great twists that fucked with you.

[hodog78]

Although already mentioned, Donnie Darko has got to be one of the biggest mind fuck movies around.

Another one that I enjoyed alot, but really fucked with me, was Pi (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138704/), a great movie actually. There's no way I could even explain it, check out the trailer (http://videodetective.com/home.asp?x=y&SpeedTestResults=4645.16&PublishedID=7783&AltID=&CustomerID=97135&WM=False&Ads=True&Play=TRUE) .

[Rastapopulous]

Oooo, I thought of another one. Crash, w/ James Spader.

That movie was fucked up. People getting off on car crashes. There was an assload of nudity too.

[SickGirl]

Ok, I'm either retarded or have ADD. I couldn't get into that movie. It made me feel so stupid so I got pissed and changed it. I remember seeing the previews on ifc and got all excited about it too. Maybe I'll attempt watching it again one day.

More mind fucks, 25th Hour, Eyes Wide Shut, Magnolia, 2001 A Space Odyssey.

haha. You know I was the same way. I hated it the first time I saw it, when it first came out. Then I watched it again a few years later, and it made a little more sense to me. Some movies just get better if you watch it more than once, like another good fucked up movie..."12 Monkeys". It took 3 times before I understood, and enjoyed it.

Holy shit!! I've seen that, crazy ass movie. They had to be on something to come up with that. My favorite mind fuck movies are: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Matrix, Requiem for a Dream, The Wall, Donnie Darko,Willy Wonka,Salton Sea, Adventures on Tom Thumb (very weird stop motion type movie)..

Seen Crash too, that was pretty messed up. Getting off on car wrecks, people have strange fetishes. There's this other weird fetish movie, Kissed, about this girl who likes to fuck the dead. :eek:

[SickGirl]

I saw that!! I thought it was a good movie actually. They make necrophilia look interesting instead of totally demented. How they did it, I have no idea. I love IFC movies!! Anyone see Buffalo 66, w/ Vincent Gallo? For some eason I liked that movie.

[Rabid_chiapet]

Yeah it wasn't bad, just weird. Like the part when she's rubbing the dead bird all over her.

I think I've seen Buffalo 66, can't remember hardly any of it. Isn't Christina Ricci in it?

How about Julien Donkey Boy, or Gummo. Anyone seen those, or am I the only one?

OH YEAH! I almost forgot about Pink Flamingos, with that cross dresser, Divine. That it the most insane movie i have ever seen!!! It is severly twisted, and the video quality is horrible, but everyone has to see it just once to believe it. ;)

[SickGirl]

Gummo!!! Omg do you remember the intro song? "The rooster goes cockadoodle dooo dooodle dooo doodle dooo . . " And those chicks jumping on the bed and ripping tape off their nipples. That movie creeped me out.

Edit: You guys gotta watch the trailer for this one! (http://www.finelinefeatures.com/gummo/mov/gummo.mov)

[Rabid_chiapet]

Yup I remember, and they were tying cats up by their legs and whipping them or something. Freaky movie. I think Donkey Boy is by the same director, very strange & creepy as well.

[Sketcher]

The Never Ending Story I,II,and III

Those were my favorite movies as a kid. They never confused me.

[BigMattTheHobo]

I just watched "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas", pretty wierd, no point to the movie except drugs.... which made it a great movie!

Shit, you have seen Pi? That is one fucked up movie. I heard it was like a cult film?

[ColdReaper]

Cube, Cube 2: Hypercube and Repo man

Edit: Cube 1 is much, MUCH less of a mind fuck than cube 2 is...

[marshalldylan10]

Cube, Cube 2: Hypercube and Repo man

Cube was sort of a Mindfuck, although it didn't fuck my mind too much, good movie over all. Didn't know there was a sequel.

[catgarvin]

Good thread. Gives me some ideas for things to check out. Someone mentioned eraserhead, that is bizarre.
Anybody see Body Double? I thought that was a good mind fuck movie. You're never too sure, things keep changing even when the credits are rolling.

[Big D]

Nice responses all...I have a list of several movies I have to check out. Keep 'em coming...

[the_fly]

requim for a dream
pi
25th hour
fight club
fear and loathing in las vegas
four rooms( i dunno if its mind fuck or not, but humour really dark and its so funny!About four differentn 30 minute stories taking place in a hotel wif tim roth's amazing take on as comical bellhop character not to mention tarantino wrote one of the four stories and he stars in it!)
donnie darko
willard
adaptation,Being John Malkovich both good charlie kaufman's wierd movies


ps.if u want a bigger mind fuck just do drugs, then watch any one of those movies or just go and watch Oprah, still does the job. ;)

[Rabid_chiapet]

Being John Malcovich, that was a good one! That new Jim Carrey movie,
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was pretty crazy too.

I remembered a few more...

Momento
Fire Walk with me
Spun (about a bunch of speed freaks)
Go
Gothic (trippy movie, about Mary Shelley & some friends getting fucked up, it's suppose to be what really happened the night she came up with Frankenstien)
City of Lost Children

[hodog78]

Cube, Cube 2: Hypercube and Repo man

Edit: Cube 1 is much, MUCH less of a mind fuck than cube 2 is...

Wow, I can't believe someone remembered Cube. Such a great, original movie. Not much of a script, or starpower, but really had something great going! 'Hypercube' was...okay. I did enjoy the "alternate" dimension aspect of it though.

[postpremium]

"the game" w/michael douglas and sean penn. prolly out in '97 or so. could not figure the thing out till the very end. great flick. anybody seen it?

[PlayOn]

Novocain...with Steve Martin

[Rabid_chiapet]

Yeah I have, good movie & surprised me at the end.

I just watched PArty Monster last night, pretty crazy & it has that guy from Home Alone who plays a club kid. Which is weird cuz he still looks like a kid dressed in drag & high on E.

[Ninja]

Arlington Road with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robins, its about militia's in the US and its done very well. Probably my favorite mind fuck

[xJxOxExLx]

any zombie movie...they tend to fuck with ya unless ure already fucked in the head...my friend said that Ted Bundy messed with his mind...but he's a pussy.

[InfectedCaress]

Donnie Darko kicks jimmy. So does Memento

the problem is I watch too many movies so I can usually call how they end. I did so with Vanilla Sky and Identity...but I still liked em. Vanilla Sky is one of my favorites just because most people think it sucks smelly ass. But then again I'm from Oklahoma, intelligence isnt exactly dominant here.

[vamp]

donnie darko was a mind fuck for me.
a lot of japanese films too.like dark water,that was well wierd. :confused:

[Bad Boy]

Fight club was the biggest mind fuck ever... at the end, if you stop it at the right time, you can really see a fucking penis... and I'm not fucking joking.

[poolking]

Definitely,

You only discover the twist 20 minutes from the end. :D

Another mini one has to be "Cypher", you feel sorry for this guy throughout and then you discover he was the bad guy all along.

[UberGay]

The Never ending story-I still don't get it, how can a story never end!

Hahahahah that one was a definate mindfuck when I was a kid. It was like the original mind fuck.

[UberGay]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind

[SuicideRun]

Clockwork Orange.

[Chemicalweapons]

Hey , am i the only one who paused it on flight club where the penis flashes? I had to make sure i wasnt missing out on some fine detail. :confused:

[Rabid_chiapet]

Seriously, a cock is flashed at the end? I wonder if it's Brad's ;)

[Shrek]

Pretty much everything on the "Showcase" TV network is a mind fuck.

[at0mic88]

Hrmm. A clockwork orange. I dont know if that should be classified as a mindfuck. It was just fairly interesting and there wasnt that big of a twist.

[Disconnect This]

LOTR series.

seriously, im usually wondering who the fuck is who and who's good or not and what not :(

[Bad Boy]

Yeah, there's a real fucking penis at the end of Fight Club... I didn't see it the first time because I didn't know it was gonna happen... I just saw the screen flash. Then I paused it and voilla, "a nice big cock"

[FrickinHick]

Id say House of a 1000 corpses was a mind fuck cause of all the trippy "dream like" sequences and what not..... that movie really creeped me the fuck out

[stevib]

I thought terminator 3 had a slight hint of mid-fuckish
but id say Unbreakable too, no ones mentioned that i dont think. When everything falls together at the end, and that guy with the brittle bones is a crazy terrorist freak , thats quite insane.

[reptilian_storm]

Vanilla Sky
Fight Club
Killing Zoe
Donny Darko
Fear & Loathing (kinda)
Schindlers List (Because how mind fuckingly crule the Nazi's were)

Killing Zoe made me very ill once, stoned off my box and i went green.

[bostich]

Yo thanks Big d for startin this thread, just saw donnie darko, and eraser head. Some one please explain eraserhead. Thanks

[Water2Funk]

Lord of the Rings


Oh wait, that wasn't a mind fuck movie, it just sucked A LOT!

[poolking]

Lord of the Rings


Oh wait, that wasn't a mind fuck movie, it just sucked A LOT!

Have you read the books?

[Disconnect This]

Just saw Lost in Tranzlation

double-u tee eff

and Vanilla Sky I must admitt was a rather fucked up movie

[Water2Funk]

No I have not read the books. But the movie was too long! A lot of it was boring, too. My ass was so numb after the movie ended.

I guess it is not in my main interest. I like movies that are 90 minutes long and are funny as hell.

[Albeano]

Fresh. I couldn't find a trailer, but this is pretty much it.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109842/

[dumbbrunette]

I've never had a mind fuck with a serious movie,only comidies.
My 3 biggest mind fucks are:

3. Club Dread
2. Super Troopers
1. Freddy Got Fingered
I like all those movies,but they're hard to follow because they're so stupid.

[Ziggyfeed]

Vanilla Sky is the most fucked-up, hard to follow movie ever created.

[SexyLlama]

I think the movie is called The Army of the 12 Monkeys...it was fucked up
