Best mind twisting movies?

I really like movies with mind twisting plots that can make the viewer go through countless theories to understand the film, and I'm trying to build a list of these kinds of movies to watch. Movies like 'The Prestige' or 'Memento' for example. People that i've talked to have recommended Inception, but I didn't find it that difficult to interpret. But that's besides that point.

Do any basilers know any other movies of this sort?

I've already mentioned that, but I guess it can go down my re watch list for a third time

I'd definitely put A Scanner Darkly up on this list.

@kizz123: I've seen it, and it's on my list of "must re-watch", and yes, i also agree it was an amazing movie. I'm normally not a fan of Leo's work, but he made an amazing performance.

I've always wanted to watch The Sixth Sense (even though I read the summary already). Not sure if it's what you'd call mind-twisting, though.

And anything by Christopher Nolan. That man is the definition of genius.[/quote]

Loved Vanilla Sky

O/T: Vanilla Sky, The Butterfly Effect, The Number 23, Lucky Number Slevin, Se7en, Fight Club, 1408. Psychological thrillers FTW!

Shutter Island, Donnie Darko, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Some of my favorite movies.

And also, Sucker Punch, believe it or not, was kind of confusing.[/quote]

No, Sucker Punch is like one of the worst movies ever, It was really bad D:

Vantage Point?
Pretty annoying though. But I liked it. I can't recall the ending.
