逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| i just watched 1408 last night, thats kind of a mindfuck movie. I thought it was good and i loved the main characters reaction to everything. Its a movie based off of a stephen king novel. Now most of the time i not a stephen king fan but this movie was pretty sweet i think. |
 |
| Donnie Darko, Fight Club, eXistenZ, if we're on about real movies... Gonna find moar though ;o Paprika & Perfect Blue for anime ? |
 |
| Great mindfuck time travel is Twelve Monkeys. Filosofical animation Waking Life. Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (Jim Carrey in noncomedy role) Famous Beautiful mind si tiny mindfuck, Butterfly effect too. Drugs euphory's Trainspotting and Fear and loathing in Las vegas (drugs scenes si cool mindfuck). I cannot forget on "russian lynch" Tarkovsky and his Stalker and mindfuck of mindfucks, Solaris |
| 90% of Anime is shit, but then, 90% of everything is shit. [Sturgeon's Law] |
| I would say any film by M. Night Shaymalan |
| Fight Club. it is the PERFECT example of a mindfuck movie. Actually, when i think "mindfuck" fight club is the first thing that comes to mind. the concpet of reality and is so convolluted in that movie it's absolutely amazing. |

| There is american definition of mindfuck. They say, that mindfuck is movie with absolutely unexpected but logic end eg. Six sense, Fight Club, The Others etc. This is totally different of standard anime definition (something what fuck out your brain from head). |

| The Machinist |
| Well, I would say anything with Park Chan Wook directing it, seriously, that man knows how to fuck your head up. Especially Old Boy. See it. And I can't believe no one has uttered the name Takashi Miike or any of his movies!!! Granted some of them are adaptations, but those are all on our list (MPD Psycho, Ichi the Killer) but also Audition, Visitor Q, and Box. That isn't considering the ones I haven't seen yet. But no matter how much I love his movies and how many times I rewatch them, some of them I still can't quite wrap my head around. Definitely a staple for any mindfuck fan. And both of those directors had short films in a compilation of Asian movies called Three...Extremes which is totally in this niche as well with Fruit Chan rounding out the directors for the first one. Three...Extremes 2 is pretty excellent in the mind fuck area too... I mean, that one has one of the most brilliant movies I have ever seen, 'Going Home', that one deserves a nod here as well. |

| for mindfuck i'd say king's "myst". the ending left me with a "WTF?!" expression and i was depressed for over a week... |
| A great mind fuck movie would be "eyes wide shut". it didnt get great reviews and a lot of people didnt like it - but you have to be someone thats into mind-fucks in order to "enjoy" it. |
| Earaserhead, Tetsuo The Iron Man, Ichi The Killer, Elephant Man and Pi are the first ones I can think of. |
| I also second, 'Fight Club' when Tyler shot himself in the face, i came. that was the ultimate mind-fuck for me. |
     |
| anime-wise I thought 'paprika' was nuts american movie-wise definately 'eyes wide shut' |
| As spiesc suggested The Machinist. The plot is a bit twisted and surprising. i'm not a big fan of Christian Bale, but he is he is perfect for this role (can you believe that he lost more than 60 pounds for it? wow). My recommendations: Vanilla Sky The most twisted movie i've ever sen. The ending is impossible to predict. I'm sure you will want to watch it twice to fully understand the plot. The Butterfly Effect A young man blocks out harmful memories of significant events of his life. As he grows up, he finds a way to remember these lost memories and a supernatural way to alter his life. |

| My god has anyone seen PI the movie? That's mindfuck with numbers! 23 was also good. Those are non anime. |
 |
| Almost every famous anime movie is a bit mind fucking like Mononoke Hime, Perfect Blue, Paprika, The girl who leap trough time and Tekkon Kinkreet. |
| OLD BOY :D and saw 1 (don't like saw that much but what a minduck at the ending xD) |
| I second Old Boy. After I saw that movie, all I could think was "Holy shit!" =O |

nihil said: almost everything by david lynch. epic genius. This. He's a mastermind at creating certain moods, especially bleakness. Eraserhead was so unsettling. Has anyone seen Inland Empire yet? |
| A Tale of Two Sisters... or maybe its The Tale... |
| To many to list, but the last movie I saw... 12 Monkeys |
| I know they are alredy named but if you think about Mindfick you should also think Old Boy and Fight Club |

Duelistbluerose said: I would say any film by M. Night Shaymalan And i would disagree, they are easy to understand and all that. I kinda like how they are classified as horrors and thrillers, yet don't make you scared or suspensed a bit. Donnie Darko and Fight Club are great though. |
| I can't believe no one mentioned "Seven", "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas", or "Requiem for a Dream". These movies are the very definition of mind fuck. All with crazy twists within the plots, and weird, uneven feels. If you're at all interested in musicals, and/or 70's rock music, you should check out "Pink Floyd's The Wall." That movie has some of the best animation ever. People often recommend it on LSD, I frankly don't care, it's mind fuckish none the less. Also noted, why isn't Sweeney Todd on here yet? What's more distorted and uncanny then a musical about a demented barber who slices at throats. Well, maybe the singing in the rain scene from Clockwork Orange, but after that I'm stumped. |

   Thanks to FreedomWings for the sig! |
| Dudes, I need a fucking nutso movie to watch today. A movie that will make you say "WHAT THE FUCK???!!!" |
 |
| I disagree with Lily Chou-Chou and Requiem for a Dream. How are those mindfuck? The plot is straightforward, for the latter it doesn't even contain great/unexpected plot twists and every question is solved in the end. Where's the fuck? And seriously, Sweeney Todd? Just because it has a plot twist, it's not automatically mindfuck. 90% of interesting stories contain some sort of plot twist. Same goes for Se7en. As for "M. Night Shyamalan movies" - which ones do you mean? I would agree that yes, Sixth Sense might be mindfuck, but can't think of any others... like Signs or Unbreakable; how would they be mindfuck? The newer ones I haven't seen though. P.S. Just because I think a movie isn't 'mindfuck' doesn't mean I don't like it. |

| I bought "Spider" DVD by Cronenberg yesterday at a very nice price. For those who wonder who the hell is Cronenberg, I ask, what the hell are you doing in this club? |
| V For Vendetta, maybe? Even V is mindfucking itself D: |
| The Prestige |

| The Jacket time warping ex vet sort of thing - quite a good film plus it has Keira Knightley in it :) |
