Never really felt like my mind was blown from a movie =\

Some science fiction films really pump me up to work harder though.

Raign · Aug 30, 2013

Usual Suspects
Fallen
The Sixth Sense
Memento

Other than that, not many were real surprises

The Game and Fight Club are two of my favorite movies.

Memento didn't do it for me.

Recent Movies that were mind blowing for completely different reasons.

Life of Pi.

the other story revelation

Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.

Because you know, the world actually ended.

Older Movies
The Matrix (first time I saw it - with bullet time effects & etc.)
Star Wars: A New Hope (first time I saw it - Holy Giant Imperial Ships, Batman).
Brazil. Still a giant mindfuck of a movie

Chitty-Chitty Bang Bang. Still can't believe they marketed that as a children's movie. Scarred for life when the kids got captured by this asshole. Biggest mindfuck as a kid.

Oldboy.

Can someone explain the ending of memento again in spoilers? I haven't seen it in a while and cant remember what it was except I was blown away by it. I would watch it again but that movie makes my head hurt.

When the film gets back to the start of Leonard's quest for John G, you see that he actually puts it in motion to end up killing Teddy by putting his name on the photo or writing not to believe anything he says. In that moment, you see that he reaches an awareness of his condition and how it can be used, and he effectively becomes a psychopath.

I missed the point of the movie apparently.

Ah yes now I remember why my mind was blown. Thanks !

Empire Strikes Back. Was 5 years old late at night on opening day and high on sugar. Whole fucking theater was stunned.

JVIRUS · Aug 30, 2013

Requiem for a Dream.

In particular, the ending to the mother's story arc shocked me, to see her so disheveled, I just didn't think they would go there.

Malakriss · Aug 30, 2013

You know which one

Mind blown was hyperbole but if you're telling me the twist in Fight Club didn't make you do a huge "WTF" then you are super human.

Also The Original Planet of the Apes!

Kaige · Aug 30, 2013

Jacob's Ladder
Se7en
Shutter Island
Donnie Darko
The Butterfly Effect

Falstaff · Aug 30, 2013

Requiem for a Dream is a good one, I agree with that.

Maybe Inception was the most recent one for me. Definitely remember being on the edge of my seat for the last hour the first time I saw it.

Feanor · Aug 30, 2013

not a mind blowing movie per se, but one movie that truly made my head hurt was "irreversible"

Pemulis · Aug 30, 2013

By title I thought for sure this was a supertouch thread, and I expected to see The Crying Game as the first pick

ohkcrlho · Aug 30, 2013

Usual suspects
Se7en
Oldboy
Saw

Adebisi · Aug 30, 2013

Not blown, but twists I didn't expect...
Arlington Road
Gone baby gone
Matchstick men
