Best Mind Fuck films.

but the GF I don't think is a twin peaks fan... *cries*

I don't care if she does ATM, dump her

Strange Days...is that the dream recording one, or the one set on a giant floating city (whited out possible spoiler for this or another film)

aye, it's the dream recording. nice little twists in there on that one, quite atmospheric.

Reese

But.. but... Reese wasn't even born when JC was conceived (before the time machine was first invented).

 

[Fidel]

Spider Man (not the superhero flick) by David Lynch I think.

 

[vauxhallmum]

Picnic at Hanging Rock.

I still don't like thinking about it decades after I saw it............

That's the one! Saw it at about 13 and it's never left me.

But then neither has ' Breaking the Waves' and that was hardly the 'best'.

It's a predestination paradox.

All is fair in love and Sci-Fi

 

[Structaural]

Jacob's Ladder
Dead Ringers
Dark City

 

[Nixon]

[Barking_Mad]

Primer

 

[sorearm]

Dead Ringers

ooo good choice. creepy as fuck.

 

[stdPikachu]

eXistence made me a bit brain fucked, as with most of dave lynches offerings

eXistenZ is Cronenberg, not Lynch. He's also don plenty of other great headfucky films like Dead Ringers and the sublime Spider. Pretty much everything by Lynch and Cronenberg kicks the headfucky assbucket though

Some more of my faves that I've not seen mentioned on the first page (catchin' up donchaknow) include Cypher, Oldboy, The Game, Perfect Blue, Run Lola Run and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Jacobs Ladder though? Found it horribly obvious and pretentious myself :/

Edit: Balls! Thought I was the only person on the planet who liked Dead Ringers - everyone I've shown it to has hated it. w00t!

 

[dlx1]

Faces of Death

 

[dilute micro]

An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

 

[Structaural]

I'd like to finish Lost Highway one day, I've got that on DVD somewhere. I was reading a Pryor biog the other day - says he has a cameo in that (and Henry Rollins).

Brazil
eXistenZ
1984 With John Hurt
Fight Club
The Machinist
A Scanner Darkly

The last one opened my eyes to how pathetic my drug use was in my early twenties. Coming back from Clubs rolling spliff's having a dab of speed or cocaine and generally talking complete and utter nonsense. What a waste of my early twenties. Yes it was fun, but seen through a now 30 year old father and it seems pathetic.

But that's life eh? We can't all grow up with out the memories either good or bad!

I would say the utter nonsense of this kind was great - being 30 year old father as well You do grow out of it but I can still connect to these afterparty bollocks while I am at one.

I also think that SD helped me realise a lot about drugs. I have read the book first though, many times. Movie was not bad either.

 

[Dandred]

Festen fucked my mind a fuck of a lot more than any or the films mentioned on this thread so far.......

 

[Rainingstairs]

still trying to figure out mullholland drive. damned david lynch!

 

[Fidel]

Not spiderman but Spider, http://www.spiderthemovie.com/spider.html, I saw it in Rio de Janeiro -quite a few people walked out, but I liked it.

 

[Jambooboo]

Does In the Mouth of Madness qualify? Or was it just shite?

 

[Flashman]

It was ace.

 

[Echo Base]

Nobody here should ever watch ADIO ZIO TOM. Seriously. If you wish to avoid.....certain nasty images.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

The i inside
Dead end (maybe).

 

[Yetman]

The City of Lost Children - I only saw the first 10 minutes and it was like some sort of drug induced bad trip delirum shit, proper warped freakery. I can only imagine what the rest is like
