    You can argue about their definition of "mind-fuck".

    As expected quite a few Christopher Nolan and David Fincher movies. And Kubrick films if you like him as a director.

    From memory I've seen 55 of these over the years, some only once but others multiple times.

    One of those few people have seen but should is Cube. Excellent movie for the budget.

    Meet The Parents.

    Not quite a comedy classic for mine, but still pretty damn funny. Stiller is utterly brilliant, and although a lot of the jokes wouldn't last in todays PC world (male nurse etc) still some great Sunday evening watching.

    3.5 painted cats out of 5 gaylord fockers.

    After the John Wick debacle, I no longer take any interest in your views on movies.

    Yes I agree with the latter especially. The Farelly brothers are just brilliant.

    Posting without thinking is nothing new for me.

    @voodoo Don't bother with Synecdoche, New York. Fuckin' boring unless you are a Philip Seymour Hoffman fanboy.

    Looking at that list again Predestination is worth seeing if you haven't seen it. Annihilation is another Netflix movie.

    We've talked about Under The Skin before if you want to see plenty of Scarjo.

    @Bovidae Predestination is without a doubt one of the most interesting movies I have ever seen. I was gripped the whole time, just incredible.

    It would depend on the genre and most of my favourites are well-known movies.

    Crime/mystery/thriller - The Usual Suspects, Memento, Se7en, The Prestige
    Sci-fi - The Matrix, Interstellar, Arrival
    Comedy - Groundhog Day, The Truman Show, American Psycho

    Identity, Split and The Game are underrated. James McAvoy is brilliant in Split.

    Bugger, I've seen all of those - was hoping for a new gem

    One I liked that's not really a mindfuck as much as a bit of a twist at the ending, was the Skeloton Key.

    Seen The Ninth Gate I presume?

    Great film.

    That movie confused the fck out of me, took an hour on the interweb forums afterwards to get up to speed.

    I really like movies that mess with my mind. But it's fair to say much of their cleverness goes over my simple head.
