Movie recommendations like Seven, 12 Monkeys...
 

Fight Club, Dark City, Pi, Memento, Pan's Labirynth ...

No one say Donnie Darko or Butterfly Effect. Nothing with Drew Barrymore either.

List me some great mind-fuck and/or dark movies.

Saw "Perfume, the story of a murderer" yesterday, (On Demand) watchable. If it weren't for Dustin Hoffman's long camio, the flick would be better. I couldn't take his role serious, but I would give it a look.

Eraserhead, Primer, The Machinist, Romeo is Bleeding, Requiem for a Dream, American Psycho, Cube, THX1138

Oh, and add Irreversible near the top of that list.

Wow, I haven't seen Eraserhead in a long while.

I have The Machinist, Requiem, American Psycho and Cube on dvd.

On a lighter note, I also love the movie Cemetery Man with Rupert Everett.

City of Lost Children

Uno, i love those movies!

i'd HIGHLY recommend you watch 28 Days Later.........and then the newer movie 28 Weeks Later

fucking awesome movies!

I thought Primer was trying to be too clever for it's own good.

8mm maybe

This is a little off topic, but, if you like American Psycho then I highly suggest reading the book. More killing and MUCH more graphic! I think the woman that nothing happens to in the beginning, in the book, he stuffs her vagina with cheese, forces a habit trail into her, and lets rats eat their way into her vagina. SICK and TWISTED!

Obviously, it didn't make the movie... LOL!

the usual suspects, pulp fiction, kalifornia, true romance, taxi driver

A Scanner Darkly

just trust me.....

50 first dates is a mind fuck...o wait, no Barrymore's ; )

usual suspects is my #1

Hard Candy :)

Jacobs Ladder

"The most frightening thing about Jacob Singer's nightmare is that he isn't dreaming."

oh shit

Next with Nicolas Cage,fantastic movie or if you want some action Condemned.

Fallen - Denzel Washington

The Game - Michael Douglas

Two of my favorite mind twists right beside SE7EN

and for an unknown low budget flick I just caught recently

Subject Number 2 - Not sure who

Seen em both. The first half of 28 Days Later is amazing.

On an unrelated note have you ever see Way of the Gun or Boondock Saints?

I liked the part of the book where he kills the homeless guy and it describes his eyeball juice running down his cheek.

More awesome movies:
may, visitor q, ichi the killer
:pimp

I have all those except pulp fiction on dvd only because I've seen it a million times anyway.

I watched A Scanner Darkly while tripping. That was a lot to handle.

Of course there's House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning

One of my alltime faves. It set the stage for a lot of later mindfuck type movies that blurred the line between reality and imagination/fear/etc... I think The Jacket takes a lot from Jacob's Ladder.

I'll have to check all those out.

Great call! That is a great movie that I haven't seen in a while.

I also want to state Naked Lunch is another perfect example of the type of movie i'm looking for.

Newish:

Ravenous - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129332/ I loved this, cannablism meets mexican war

Oldies but goodies:

The Beguiled - Awesome Clint eastwood movie
Picnic at hanging rock
Jacobs Ladder
Angel Heart

OR

If you are feeling insane

The crymaster cycle http://www.cremaster.net/

Layer Cake, Dobermann (french)

I have The Game on DVD... Wasn't a big fan of Fallen. Haven't seen Subject Number 2, but I'll look it up.

Also for Michael Douglas, Falling Down is one of his best. "Now you're going to die wearing that stupid little hat. How does it feel?"

Layer Cake was good, but a lil overrated imo. Haven't seen Dobermann.

WARNING: Not for the faint of heart!!!
 

Check out the trailer for this one - it makes the hair on my neck stand up just hearing the soundtrack.

ADG

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
21 grams
The machinist / Equilibrium (both with Christian Bale)

Great thread :)

The Prestige

Oh, and Eyes Wide Shut.. I remember it was pretty fucked up :)

60's film: peeping tom. very amazing

The most disturbing move of all time: Happiness

http://imdb.com/title/tt0147612/

Watch it and be horrified

I like most of Kubrick's other work much more.

Barry Lyndon
A Clockwork Orange
2001
The Shining
Full Metal Jacket

Also, Spun was pretty good:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0283003/

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

*Pretty good, for Jim Carey I'd rather watch Truman Show or Man on the Moon

21 grams

*Overrated imo

The machinist / Equilibrium (both with Christian Bale)

*The Machinist was amazing and even better was what Christian Bale actually put himself through to really get into that character. I was really worried for his long term health for getting into such a state.

*Equilibrium was ok, pretty much a combo of Brave New World, 1984 and Farenheit 451

Great thread :)

*thanks! I take my movies seriously and probably spend way too much time watching them.

Agreed. Spun was pretty much the meth version of Requiem.

Summer of Sam

hahahahhahaha I was telling Thurbs and NinjaSteve about that movie earlier. It's been one of my favorites for years and definitely one of the most fucked up comedies I can think of.

Is that with John Leguizamo?

A friend just told me about a movie called Fido. A touching story of a boy and his pet zombie. It sounds pretty good.

Mulholland Drive

Saw (just the 1st one) and I liked Hostel, it was kinda low budget...but at least it had boobies:)

The Number 23 was pretty decent.

You are the only one i have ever heard say that.

Agreed, that movie was horrible.

Have you seen Old Boy? (Korean movie with subtitles, amazing IMO).

David Lynch fans keep out please :warning
