The way that movie messed with your head with the plot twist was totally awesome. I rank it with Usual Suspects for throwing a complete curve at the audience, though its more of an ensemble piece than Fight Club. I love both movies and could watch either one at the drop of a hat. It's really great to go back and watch either one of them after knowing what happens and picking out all the parts that mean something different if you know the plot twist. Absolutely amazing films.
 
TELOKH those are two of my faaaaaaaaaaaaavorite films and the Illusionist!!!!!! OH MAN those three are the bomb!!! I adore a movie that i cannot figure out becuase after you've seen as many movies as I have you can tell exactly what's going to happen about 30 mins into the movie you can pick out the bad guy 20 minutes into the movie, etc. but those three films are like WHAT??? NO WAY!!!
 
Usual Suspects/Fight Club and I was saying the Illusionist all three are TRIPPY endings where you can't figure out what was happening until the end when its revealed
 
hard candy? whats that one about? just generally without giving anything away?

You want a real mind-boggling twist. Try LOST HIGHWAY or MULLHOLLAND DRIVE, both directed by David Lynch.

The beginning and end of LOST HIGHWAY are the same point in time. I'm not talking a flashback here. The plot literally twists back in time and shows the same act from another point. You have to see it to get it.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE is almost like two movies. There's a freaky thing in the middle and everything changes but the actors stay the same. After watching it you have to be ready to debate what the two halves of the movie mean in relation to each other.

David Lynch movies are not to be indulged in lightly. You need to be prepared to alternately over-analyze or just let the plot flow over you. Lynch also believes films should be felt, physically. If you adjust your volume to hear the quiet parts, the loud parts will blow you out of your seat. Also, they must be watched at night. The darkness helps to disassociate your perceptions from the real world and accept the movie's style of reality.
 
I really wish he'd stop getting hopes up. The interview he did before the theatrical re-release of Saints two years ago talked about how he was almost ready to start on Saints 2. He's been going on about it off and on for almost a decade now, but still no release date. :cry:
 
i hear you...its like waiting for the hobbit then finding out it won't be the same director....you're excited and yet...scared...

as for LOST HIGHWAY ....HOLY COW what a trip!!!! and in the scene of the ...roadside apartment (not sure how else to explain that without giving it away) the people in the porn flick that is playing in the background are MARILYN MANSON and one of his band members!!! tooo funny i nearly wet myself laughing!! who really wants to see that guy in a porn I ask you!!!!!
 
i've never head of wrist cutters....do i need to ask what its about or is it self explanitory?
 
I haven't seen it, but it looks really good.

It's about this couple that breaks up and both commit suicide. Then they both end up in Purgatory and stuff happens. I'm not sure what, but I guess I'd have to look it up again.

I'm turned off of Lynch after Eraserhead. That movie SUCKED hard!

That was was one of his earlier films, from 1977. He's made a lot more since then. Elephant Man, Dune, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks (TV and Movie).

Actually, Eraserhead is the one major Lynch Movie that I haven't seen.

The original movie of DUNE from 1984, not the SCIFI channel mini-series. Lynch's verion is darker, grittier and actually had Frank Herbert (the author of the books) as a consultant. The biggest beef I have with the newer version is that they changed the pronunciation of a lot of things. I'm sure the Herbert gave the correct versions the first time around.

Bear in mind that the visual effects possible in 1984 are absolutely not at today's standard.
